This is a pretty big bomb shell your dropping and you give people less then a week to voice their concerns

People have put in alot of time and money into getting terrain to what they have it at +4 grain etc and your refunding them by giving them 2 terrain reform books, Players are going to have armys that just simply starve in the time it takes them to move that city to a viable location with atleast +3 grain. Even then players are going to lose units because they need the +4 terrian just to break even and that's with Fortune and Max resource wilds. How are those players going to be make do with the poor compensation your offering them? It can take up to 10-15 trys to get a Terrain to +4 grain and your offering 2 of them? We have 7 Cities.

Kingdoms/Alliances are going to be useless at the get go since we have no idea on placement were most likely going to be spread out possibly across different zones. Am i going to land next to 5 Enemy players? Are you atleast going to give me the good grace of a Truce on completion of the server merge for all citys so i don't get some ridiculous battle were i'm getting hit left right and center due to random placement. If your just offering 2 Truce signets with No protection of atleast 8-12 hours it will be all out disembowelment for the unlucky people that do get placed in the middle of an enemy stronghold.

Simply put it looks like your actually punishing your paying players for paying; Out of all of the players they are going to get effected by this merge the worst the money they have put into this game so that you can keep it running was just thrown out the window.


I do think a server merge is a good idea, But the way your implementing it just seems pretty bad.  


AGREE

But don't wonder when PM take a decision like this without asking GMs and GSs and top ranked players !

They dealing with papers and reports not with real environment !

They are giving 7 moving devices. that will allow alliances to form a plan and regroup and offer 12hrs of protection  




I realise this your assuming that people are going to be online for the merge some people have work or whatever they may have at that point in time, are we atleast going to get some form of protection so we do have the option to move before were hit.  



Form the way it sounds to me you wont be put into the world untill you login. This could just be me inferring from other games ive played but it would be stupid for them to do it any other way

If they do it right it should be fun. But i do think its to early to being doing it. i understand that s2 is dead but s1 has a lot of conflict (at least froma quick glance) with no kingdom dominating the map. I definatly think they should w8 till s1 is at LEAST down to 1v1 kingdom wise. Even if we gotta play "sim city" on S2 for a while

Thing I really want to know is if we lose:

* bag items (aside from gems)
* hero gear worn
* resources in storage in cities
* building ques in cities
* research ques in cities

??

These points have not been mentioned...and they are kind of VERY important for player to be able to prepare.

I am not sure that there will be more people playing actively on the new server. Merges usually fail to succeed. Well that aside more infos would be really usefull as there is a lot of frustation potential.

-> my guess it is planned that our cities are copied to the new world as we log on. So starving befor first log on should not be a problem. right or wrong?

->active construction buffs ... do they stay acitve or are they refunded


suggestions: some real compensation like expanding our bag space to max ... to celebrate this event to stay with the language of the opening post

Hope to see some reliable information soon

(My first impuls was to ask people from s3 to make s2 accounts with 19 population, it is still tempting but i shell refrain from doing so cause it will only complicate the matter.)

Ive been watching chats in both servers for a while and everyone is upset about this. i think that a clear sign to AG that S1 and S2 is a bad idea. they need to WAIT. you shouldn't be trowing a "dead" server in with an active one. Mergers always end up Server A vs Server B and when one server is dead and the other active the active one is gonna win hands down. If you are looking for more money AG try opening a new server, that way all the people who quit all the other servers can go there and the Actives on S2 can join in and keep entertained while enjoying their victory on S2. and when another server dies, announce A MONTH IN ADVANCE (learn2plan ahead) that the 2 dead servers will be merging.

Don't mix dead and alive servers.
