If you think the population is low now, forcing PvP on those that don't want to be flagged isn't really going to help.

Personally I don't want a merge now. If there was a mass exodus from MxO as some people are predicting for after Christmas, then I may be convinced otherwise.

I'm just saying if we're talking merge then add a little spice to it.  The Megacity is big enough for people to find areas they can go if they're afraid of being attacked.  I used level 30 because that's when you can run the current storyline. Something should be done to get the excitement level back up in this game.  It would also be easier for the devs to implement the new content as someone mentioned before.

agreed..my thinking is that it should be divided into 2 servers, simple non-hostile and hostile server, makes job easier on devs, and more population, would be a happy medium for everyone.

I agree Jahzel.

Thats why this was (albeit brought up again) a thread about a Recursion/Syntax Merge and not a 3 server merge. It would allow people the choice to play how they want to play.

I think the hostile vs non-hostile issue isn't really the issue.  It's population.  One thing we can probably agree on is that their is a dedicated fanbase spread across all three servers, and then folks who "come and go". Again if you're talking server merge why not bring the dedicated base together in one place.  Maybe being flagged at 30 can be debated but if that were the case, would it be that bad of a trade-off to interact with more players.  More pop makes the content more fun imo.

I opened this thread to discuss the Recursion/syntax issue... please if you want to discuss Vector do another   Vector has its own purpose.. I dont think we should merge the 3. Anyway, I would really like for people to comment on Recursion/Syntax. Thank you!

Mass exodus after Christmas? The mass exodus has already happened. What's it gonna take? For the numbers to get down to 50 people per server? 25? 5?

Personally, I think we haven't had a merge yet because SOE pays to have three servers for this game, so three servers it's gonna have. Doesn't have a *censored* thing to do with server pop or players wishes.

There are new people playing the game, and as time changes people minds can change too. Ive seen old posts and the approach is different, and Recusion is not as low as now. In many threads conversations changes topic because of this, because of graphics issues, or other topics (like spam) and nothing gets done. I hope de devs can tell us something about this, since many Recusion People are wondering about it. Its silly to post to say posting in it is spam.

Merge for what? So Syntax can flame Recursion and tell everyone from that server to log, cause they can't go back to anything lolz.

I don't really see a reason for this to not happen, personally, I'd like to just move my Main Skull086 from Recursion to Syntax just for giggles, though I knew Recursion was dead about 3 months ago, which is why I made SkilledNoob, which is sometimes better then my main due to his awsome rp skillz and the fact that he can be any org I choose from 1 mission.

Course if they could, just add my main's CQ count to my new main SkilledNoob cause everytime I go on Recursion I pwn one or two hjing noobs then get bored cause they all run away with knife wombs in their lower extremidies. I would like to reach 15k CQs with my main, but am unable even though I'm like 160 cqs away, no pvp = bored quicker on Recursion, then I log and head to Syntax to pwn teh pros and nubs over there.

I am Skull086, and I approve this message for a better tomarrow, Merge teh servers and add more cowbell to all teh noobs that sneak constantly so we can at least hear em coming and pwn kthxbai.

Normally I'd say spam, dead horse, etc.

BUT with the new changes and an extremely likely population exodus after the Holidays (if not sooner), things that seemed ridiculous even a few months ago might be worth taking a new look. 

If this were a poll, I'd vote merge syntax and recursion asap.

I believe this statement, Recursion and Vector notice it more because we already have fewer players so when you loose one it has more of an impact. I'm sure it's happening on Syntax too but it is not yet as noticeable. Players have been leaving for some time now at a greater rate than we are replacing them. While the holidays may bring some people back we know they are only temporary.

I personally don't understand why some players on Syntax have to be selfish. Let Recursion merge with you as I have not heard a single compelling reason why they shouldn't be allowed other than server pride.

Eventually though and I predict within 2009 if SOE doesn't so something this game will be history. I am a veteran of the game, passionate about it but when I login, see fewer and fewer people to RP with or PVP with and all I do is farm gear cause thats all there is to do because of poor decision making on those who have the power then even I who said I would be here till the end question if thats what I want to do now.
