1. The nostalgic crowd will make transition to the new server from all the 3 servers.
2. The new server will cause stability issues affecting all the 4 servers ( including itself ) why? because they are going to twist and mangle it in the ways so that can try to handle the various balance issues and the item malls and the story arc, bots etc.
3. Hasnt history showed us the various stability issues with the start of every new server? or before the start of one? yeah sure heim said that the old server was stable , it was stable before they mess with it to solve the various issues that were supposed to be solved with renewal .
4. Its not going to just ygg to ymir/valk but i suspect the all the 3 servers , given the amount of ymir players qqing about the enormous god items ymir has i suspect % of ymir's population will take a hit.

Is this not a plausible scenario in the near future ?


Will all the concentration on the new pre renewal server ( that being a different ballgame altogether ) cause downfall in rate at which renewal servers patches/events/updates are addressed ?

noone on ymir would care as long as god items dont get broken again

[Zinja]

given the amount of posts by the nostalgic ymir crowd, i am lead to believe a majority of the people do.

I'll be playing the new server. I also don't care what happens to ymir as long as my MvP cards and god items don't disappear. It can get merged or not, doesn't make a difference to me.

[Beata]

I am not fond of mergers and never will be but if they are to happen then our guild god creations, mvp gears and zeny shouldn't break/disappear. Don't want to deal with all the crap again recreating and buying godly creations, as getting things back was a devastating experince for myself and my guildmates... it's not fun.

I might try the pre-renewal server but I don't think I have enough time to enjoy it fully as it used to be in 2005. Worth a shot though.

Server merge means they plan on merging existing 3 renewal servers together? I'm not against that. Put it all in one server and see who can boast the best guild in RO. It would make pvp/woes interesting to say the least.

All that would concern me is how would they go about allowing new players the chance to try the game out before buying it?

Maybe 1 slot open for all new accounts? Bots would run rampant. (Not that it would matter at this point) Or, 1 slot for all accounts that have a debit/cc attached to it? It wouldn't actually charge the card, just limit the amount of accounts a single person can make.

So many questions, yet there is no evidence of an actual merge yet, or what servers they plan to merge if there was one.

That's what I was thinking merge the new serve with Ymir if that can't be done move the characters over to the new server and shut ymir down. They could disable God items for a short time if they prove to be a real problem you and no WOE till some of the newer players got to level 99. I don't mind starting from scratch but I wouldn't mind the option of using my old characters on there as well.

heim already said they can't transfer chars. and the whole reason for the new server is a fresh start with everyone on an even playing field that would just screw it all up.

[Randalf]

There's no point in discussing a merge at the moment, Heim said it wasn't happening. If and when it does, there's way more to take into consideration than "They're all Renewal LUMP EM UP".

1. Valk is pretty much infested with bots, and therefore people who have benefited from them for leveling and zeny.
2. Ymir is a merge of a few servers that were once infested with bots, and a lot of those items and zeny still remain. Most of Ymir's god items also sit in the hands of 2-3 guilds.
3. Yggdrassil presumably gets people that hate Ymir's imbalance/god item prevalance and Valk's huge botty population, yet has bot issues itself.

You can't really merge any 2 of them without severely shaking up the economy, because tons of bots wouldn't mesh well with Ymir, and a large population/number of god items wouldn't mesh well with Ygg.

Seems the YGG merge isn't cancelled but just delayed. YGG is supposedly meant to be a "quick start" server for new players.

how is it a quick start server? do you level easier on lower level classes than on ymir?

No idea about the quick start thing... But the ygg merge... as of right now has been called off. Going to wait a bit as see how things work out before they think about a merge and if / which server will be shutdown. If the pre-re server flops... it'll just shut down. Likelyhood of that happening with all these people saying they are going to get on and play it is pretty slim so probably don't need to worry about that. If they merge it'll probably be at the earliest in sept as summer is over then so give them the summer as a last evaluation period.
