As someone already posted a few weeks ago, there should be a portal for characters to visit all the worlds.  Such as merging R and S, and a portal to V.  That way you could visit the hostile world without being stuck there.  Apparently there are lots of people who don't want to be flagged just because of their age and have their gameplay/story interfered with all the time as we have now on Vector.  If each character can visit each world as they wish, it will eliminate that problem.  But the lag in downtown on all the servers must be fixed, regardless.  It's really hard to do missions downtown because the response time is so slow.

Rarebit's already said that the way characters are set up would make inter-server travel impossible without a merge.

why does tripity make some really lame-*CENSORED* suggestions, first it's nerf HJ, and now it's merge the servers.

please, just actually search for it before you post and make a complete FOOL of yourself

A merge would be good but only to 2 servers.  However the problem is that its Vector that needs the people and not the non hostile servers so the merge would only work if Recursion/syntax and Vector merged to a hostile server, however then non hostile players would be hostile even though they picked against it so it just wouldnt work.

2 Servers:
 - 1 hostile
 - 1 non-hostile

Then allow character transfers to all servers.
Vector shouldn't complain that they had a tougher time leveling because the server was hostile because they're getting more players this way.

A single server with two non-hostile districts and one hostile gives everyone the ability to enjoy the gameplay of their choice with similarly conscenting players, without the need to interfere in the space where others are avoiding said gameplay.... each and every day without restriction, real choice and real freedom.

The only valid argument i have seen, and it may well be enough all by itself, is the issue of lag. But as stated previously there is plenty of evidence to suggest a significant element of lag is independent of population.

Diversity is one of the game's major source of content.  I have absolutely nothing against the people of Syntax and Recursion, but I don't wish to be on the same server.  This isn't because of some elitist delusion of grandeur, just that in observing and respecting the differences in how people play the game allows this diversity to flourish.  Syntax and Recursion, from what I gather, are duel and organised mass pvp-based.  Vector's hostile nature means that pvp is much more spontaneous.  As it stands, we all have the choice to play on the other servers on a whim, and this allows a crossover of diversity and a population bump in itself.  

I wouldn't want to see the servers merge because certain players would be forced into undesirable styles of play, even if districts were broken down into pvp/non-pvp areas.  For whatever reasons the players on Syntax and Recursion have for not wanting to be perpetually flagged, they should be respected and observed as their autonomous choice. Just as the choice of Vectorians should be also.  I agree that the structure of the storyline would become much more linear, and one server would make LESIG's job a lot simpler.  In acknowledging the bigger picture however, I still don't see it as a viable option.    

I'm all for the 'one world' aspect of one server, but I think a better alternative would be an optional fourth server, the specifics of which to be discussed.

Characters were transfered during the merge. I know of players how came from Enumerator to Syntax. I guess it's technically possible, yet it's not financial attractive.

they probably had to transfer all the characters over to the test server so they could replace it with the 3 larger servers so technically they could move over one character to another server at that time really easily

First - there is a relatively active topic on that in "Developement roundtable" section, no need to do a necro stuff like that. Second - it's been brought up a number of times already.
