Craptag will NOT be the new name of the server.

lmao

Why not just be plain and simple. Call the renewal server Renewal. Just like how classic server is called Classic. Otherwise, call it craptag lol.

it is classic loki

Same as with Classic, if we create new renewal servers it would give us a title to put a subtitle on.

Oh so there will be another renewal server going to be made after the merge?

Edit:Oh wait derp. Ignore this.

Honestly im not happy at all. All these god items and MVP cards are just gonna come together along with all these cheaters and botters and dooshbags. There will be absolutly no way a new/small guild will be able to even exist. Its basically going to be a cluster F%$# of cheaters attacking other cheaters. If the GM's can promise to start really banning ppl now that they have NO EXCUSE to check more than one server now maybe it can work. But i really do have my doubts...It also means that valk now has that dumb ass new god item system doesnt it......

I dont believe the world will end on 12/21/12 but maybe the Mayans were talking about the end of RO

<I respectfully disagree with your point, and say that there is a great opportunity for small guilds, of which I will speak upon below: >
***Re-edit... I did not write the above line. Apparently an admin edited my post and didn't want to say anything.

This an opportunity for small guilds to GROW, not got washed out. There are going to be so many options for alliances to start and merges to happen. You can take a bunch of smaller guilds, ally together for a bit to see if you even like each other, then merge together and create an even bigger alliance. Keeping merging/allying, and you'll be a factor in WoE. You don't need MVPs/Gods to be a factor. Look at Animosity on Valk, we have next to nothing in terms of items, and we've been a factor over there.

You people need cut that self-defeating attitude out and actually try. Nobody's going to just let you be a factor in WoE, earn it, or stop pretending to try.

If you're worried about MVPs/Gods being a factor, ally->merge with a bunch of small guilds and make an alliance with one of those guilds you're oh so concerned about. All of a sudden you're fighting in big WoEs, with a lot of firepower on your side, and WoE is fun again.

***Re-edit, I had a whole paragraph here that apparently some admin didn't like and removed it, apparently


As for the name. Who cares what it's called?
***Re-edit, this line had a suggestion of naming the server "McDurble Bits" but apparently that was frowned upon as well and edited out

*** If you're going to moderate and edit posts, at least put something in there saying that the words aren't the original author's anymore =\

I DO NOT support this merge! This is NOT a good idea! There are so many problems with this idea. I'm going to write them all down for you and hope I generate enough of an audience to sway this decision. Here are the main points as to why I do NOT support this merge:

1. I'm from the Yggdrasil server. It's a cute little server, usually 500-600 people on at a time. Everyone knows each other. It's cozy. There are usually 1000+ people online at the Valkyrie server, and another couple hundred at the Ymir server. Put all those together and you have almost 2000 people online on a single server! Talk about overcrowded! There will simply be too many people on the server, which will generate too much lag for EVERYONE. The play experience will be brought down for everyone, from all of the servers! The closeness of the other servers (player to player) will be lost in a chaotic crowd.

2. Valkyrie has a TON of bots. Merging all three servers together will cause an overflow of them. Until you, WarpPortal, finds a way to combat such a massive hoard of boting, merging all three servers will not be a smart move. There will be spam everywhere and KS-ers in all the fields both low and high levels try to go to.

3. Because of the massive flux of people, I highly doubt that the TI maps will be able to handle the traffic. There will probably also be far too many parties in such condensed areas, creating a lack of monsters for others. Creating timers for parties would be more painful than productive.

4. Many of the big guilds - on all the servers - are overpowered. Put them together into one server, and there will never be castle captures from the smaller, newly-developing guilds like mine. New guilds would never be able to develop because the large guilds would keep a monopoly over WoE time.

If this uni-server merge really does happen, I'm sorry to say that I will leave iRO for smaller and more comfortable servers. I don't want to leave all of my high-level characters, but I don't want to put up with sooooo many people, either. If this happens, you will have lost a paying customer.

Please think about all these issues - and many more - before you commence with the server merge.

Thank you for your time.

^ this except the woe part

[renouille]

Put all those together and you have almost 2000 people online on a single server!

Kind of like how Valk was a few months ago?

[RavenCyde]

Also (I apologize for the double-post), there is the issue of characters with the same name merging onto the same server. Who will be forced to change their name? Someone with seniority, or will it just be random? Perhaps both characters will have to change their names? Either way, this is completely unfair. I am not willing to change the names of my characters just because the GMs decided to do a completely unfair and unplanned-out multi-server merge.

[mintypudding]

um no seniority makes perfect sense

[NiteWolfX13]

As for the decision for the god items and mvp cards.. (I can't find the info for it anymore and my memory is fuzzy.. Account bound??) Does this still apply even though it's now a 3-way merger instead of 2 now?

[GuardianTK]

Oda ignored me. Probably means they still can't afford to hire a team to handle bots after the merger. >.>

I wonder if there's another poringpower somewhere. lol

[Facekiller]

i wonder how fast the population will drop because of this....

[Banjo03]

If they take the time to get rid of ALL the bots, I see no problem.

[Bestie]

I am a little confused becuz when i inquired 2 days ago, I was told there was not a set date. So i paid out 800 wpe to xfer 3 chars to YGG. I was lied to and I feel like I should just receive a refund and wait till the merge.

[Oda]

Oda ignored me. Probably means they still can't afford to hire a team to handle bots after the merger. >.>

I do not know many economic climates that still exist that could foster a team solely dedicated to removing bots.

[meli]

Getting rid of the bots? haha

[CheddarJack]

When did i ever say my guild was a small guild? or that i want to quit? Im talking on behalf of the small guilds cause ive seen them come and go. Also if you make a new guild from scratch, its hard to catch up with guilds who are way more advanced in the game already. With the idea of allying and merging constantly there is no point to try and make your own guild, when you can just ally/merge/go into one that is already in place. So no new guilds will sprout out any time soon.

With this many things coming into one location nothing is gonna be the same....

You are right about one thing pred, yes new alliences will happen and im sure merges will happen as well. As for my guild, a merge into another guild wont happen, we are one of the last guilds on valk left from when it started and its not going away any time soon, believe me.

What conserns me the most is all the cheating that is going on as of late. There was a lot on valk recently and now we get more coming in from ymir and ygg. Sure the GM's only have one server to check now, but from what we all saw from Xel's thread they dont seem to care that much about them.

[Baturiano]

call it fenrir!

[foxySox]

I hope none of my names are taken. Also I laughed at calling the server "Craptag" haha! What's going to happen with the WoE time though?

Also Oda I totally just now noticed that the eyes in your avatar move. I thought I was seeing things!

[GreatMajah]

This is estimated to take between 1 and 2 days to complete.

BWAHAHAHAHAAA! Seriously, Oda? You guys DO realize how close to the holidays you're making this merge? Are you willing to give up your holiday to respond to the insanity that is going to flood this game when you do this merge? Knowing your track record, I doubt it.

Remember the HUGE update to Requiem a couple years back - right at Thanksgiving? I hope you do. I sure do...something I'll never forget.

You seriously shoulda waited til after the 1st of the year to do this. Common sense died years ago here though, so I guess its par for the course.

[mintypudding]

yeah lmao it's me on ymir but i'll delete that before the merge
