How many times have they tried server mergers, and eventually it gets down to the need to do it again? When will they figure out it is the game mechanics, and if the game was fun to play there wouldn't be an issue with lack of population? How do they put a positive spin on this? How much longer till it is down to one server, and eventually the game dies?
I am sure all the fanboi's right now are celebrating. It will be some good fighting for a month or so, and than Gorfang will be right back to where it was. The answer to the game isn't increasing population by merging servers.
Gorfang will die off just like every other high population server in WAR. It has happened since day one of server mergers. Everyone gets excited. Everyone loves pvp, and fights in the zone. After a week or two one side is dominating the other faction so they go back to flipping zones in opposite pairings. Players get bored again. Some quit from always losing, and some after they realize it is the same old boring renown grind.
You have the others who quit because being farmed by RR90+ players in scenarios isn't fun. Will there ever be RR based scenarios? My guess is probably not. If they are merging three servers they probably can barely get scenarios to pop normally. Also with the merger it doesn't leave much room for argument about cross server scenarios because before long there will be only one server.
For me the game still has the core issues that probably drives more players away from the game than anything. The gear gap from a RR40, and RR85+ is so huge. Until they figure out that they only need 2-3 tiers of gear, and not eight players aren't going to stick around to gain little renown from being farmed by higher rank players. It just isn't fun.
Secondly fighting needs to be locked to one pairing. Letting players easily farm renown by flipping zones without any fighting is just stupid. Where is the fun in RvE?
Thirdly TI is a joke. Players waiting how long for this Skaven dungeon that was to be like Darkness Falls? I remember going in there, and thinking this is it?
The server mergers just aren't going to work. Remember when you would get frustrated at your current server, and reroll to a new one? That option is basically dead now. Your server options are getting less, and less so now instead of players rerolling they will just ragequit, and move to Rift.
