Im sure this isnt a new idea... but given the circunstances Im posting it today. Im from Recursion, and its sad to see it always on Low, its almost dead, same few people. I made a new character on syntax, since its the only server (I know vector sometimes too) that reaches Medium. A lot of people from Recursion I know are doing the same, and we all feel the same way: "They should merge Syntax and Recursion". That way we can have our main characters together and do better RP, or involve more in the game. Whats the use of having a server on Low anyway? It would be fair for many people like me that have their main character on Recursion.

Thanks for reading.

I always used to be heartily against this idea. But nowadays? I have to say I agree.

For those that didnt read the part... I KNOW ITS NOT A NEW IDEA...

But, Recursion's condition its now even worse. Plus... That can mean something, maybe the idea has been ignored many times.

God bless you Tranque, try some medicine for the cough.

Before, I'd say forget it.  After the Winter Holiday (allowing for a small uptick in players returning for the holidays), when we'll see a big exodus of players?    I'd say yeah that's a really good idea.  Reccy is the deadest of the three servers.

I agree with the merge, as for why does this subject emerge or something new is posted about it, its because its always buried and forgotten, mainly all i see is people from syntax that dont agree on the merge..Why?... have any devs participated on the other threads before? Ive heard  MXO had several or more than three at least other servers and now its down to three. Maybe if everybody would stop trying to be witty on their post and actually try to get themselves to be heard , this subject wouldnt be recurrent , its a shame that everytime you visit the server where your main character is (recursion) you find yourself talking to the same three people, and getting items you dont need because theres nothing to use it on.

I used to be against the idea as well, but I think it's time to merge. Especially given this new content format, it'll mean more content for everybody, not to mention real people to talk to and whatnot.

The only logistical reason I can see for not merging Recursion and Syntax is that then you would have 6 character slots on Syntursion and only 3 on Vector.  I have all 9 character spaces filled up so picking 3 to bring over to the new server is not an option.

 

The 9 servers were merged into 3 because of low population when we were transfered from Lith to SOE.  And while low population is the main reason why people are calling for this new merge. 

 

I've looked but can't find an instance of a dev commenting on the idea of the merge.  Probably overlooked it though.

 

Personally, I don't want the merge either, but I understand the reasoning.

Might be a good idea to revisit this idea in January.  You think Recursion's dead now?  Oh, Lordy! 

I do think it would be odd to have 2 servers with one server that lets you have 6 characters (Syncursion) and one that allows you to have 3 characters (Vector).  I guess the only fair thing would be to add three slots to Vector.  That might not be a bad idea, actually.  Then you have two servers, one hostile, one nonhostile, with an equal amount of slots.

Thats actually a good idea, more slots per server. Currently we have 2 servers with the same purpose, one of them practically dead, the other is Ok ... i think its the reasonable thing to do.

Yeah, I'd like it. There'd be more to talk to, help with content; PvP, ect.

But however, I hardly ever think this is going to happen, sadly. :/

this would also help rarebit i believe in his new initiative. everyone would be one server, whole server party, every org meeting on the same server, live events when he does on the same server...probably some other things, i think it would make it easier for him anyways

I'd prefer if all the people who exploit duped their crew banks on Recursion didn't come over to Syntax and wreck the economy there. Let Recursion die.

And thats like what....5-10 people who still play?  I don't think it'll be that bad.

I say merge all three servers and flag everyone for pvp at level 30.  You can't lose.  There will be more rp, pvp, rpvp, and more to do.  Everybody wins.

Except for people who don't want to be flagged 24/7.

Think your concept through a little more and come back and tell me why it is, in fact, a bad idea.
