Can u link me where they told us it’s a server merge? 
So many experts on this forum, especially all those guys that are experts on the topic “region merge is not possible” while every other game is able to do excactly this. “But the code is so difficult” … and here I am again, wondering how everyone knows about this difficult code.
Must have missed the “region merge not possible” posts the last view weeks from official side.
They said region merge is very complicated 4,5 month ago. Meanwhile they could find some solution. Please don’t spread misinformation.
The infos wasn’t given in the last 1 or 2 weeks, I believe it was in May or June.
Can’t find it atm, but sorry I don’t want to look through all these threads for you 
And it is not about the codebase itself being to complicated, it is more about the infrastructure and how the data is structured /as far as I can understand it from the little info we have).
In general you’d need tools for such transfers/merges. And these tools didn’t exist. Development of such tools take time.
The reason why it might not be possible to merge regions, could be the AWS data centers itself:
Regions and Zones - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
Each Amazon EC2 Region is designed to be isolated from the other Amazon EC2 Regions. This achieves the greatest possible fault tolerance and stability.
Because the regions are isolated it might not be possible to transfer the data easily. What you might need to to (and I’m not a total expert here, just used some AWS machines) is very breifly:
So the most difficult part, after developing the tools for the transfer itself, to get all the server instances (and everything else) together in one region and then execute the transfers.
But as far as it was communicated till now, the number of instances they can spawn in a region is limited. And this could be the problem.
From this brief example you could see, that server transfers within a region are easier (not easy) then the region merges.
If they have the tools for the transfer, step one could maybe be done within 2 or 3 days of downtime or so (I’d expect).
They havent said that is possible. Last info is thats not possible. They are taking care of a lot of problems and new content. I know that this is big issue for EUW ppl, but not top priority. They need to do content and suppoprt for like 98% of player, can focus a lot of manpower for remaning 2%. Its harsh , but reality.
we are not 2% for sure. Are you ever visit any of the 3 still healthy servers in EUW. EUW is maybe 10-15% from the playerbase. And if they want to keep this real players in the game they need to make it priority. After the Clown release there are plenty of time to Brel to make it happen.
You think that EUW is 10-15% amoung KR,JP,RU,NAW,NAE and EUC? Dont be deulusional. Because thats all the regions they need to take care of. Whole NA/EU could be like 30-35%
wait i don’t count KR,RUS and JP. I am speaking only for our west version. KR will be always their priority no matter what. Rus and JP are more dead then EUW.
guys its a server merge, Roxx literally said this weeks ago. you are just on the copium to pretend its ambiguous, but it is not.
“We are actively working through the parameters for merge options for these servers…”
I’m sorry that it sucks
well but they need to take care of all regions. And the smallest one isnt their priority. I know its issue for EUW player, but thats the way how things are going in life.
Server merge is the first step. We all know region merge will take time. We only want to know what are their plans for everything on this problem. I am sure we can wait for region merge even if it takes 1 year from now.
you are so far gone on the copium i dont know what to say.
you are literally having faith in AGS regarding server merges after what happened with New World?
Please, for your own sake, its time to move on.
well most players arent waiting even one month, so one year could be a good time schedule for that. But they see all the numbers and only they can calculate if trouble and work with region merge is profitable or not. Still a company that needs to make money, otherwise we will not play the game.
why to move on when i have fun and still don’t feel the deadness of EUW except the AH. I will play till i can. Yes i believe them, their sister company AWS is the biggest server company in the world. i don’t believe more in SG capability and their code.
NW is a bit of a different situation in regards to this matter, because:
Yes the communication policy and intransparency can be often compared to NW and AGS doesn’t really seem to have learned from Crucible and NW in regards to this.
But from a technical point of view and also the responsibilities, these are 2 totally different situations.
well guess we acutally got our answer, just took them 3 weeks
3 weeks too long sadly, rip EUW
thanks for nothing i guess
but then again was our crystal aura bugged for an entire week on euw tortoyk and they didn’t even give any compensation, so whatever
But like she said: mentioned it in another thread and this was weeks if not month ago. But it is hard to find the answer…because to many threads on the same topic.
So if you like the message itself or not, the basic answer was there. You can blame AGS/SG for not having the tools for a transfer/merge ready at game launch, but don’t blame the Mods/CMs for not giving answers when they did
Server merge = merge between servers on the same region. In EUC we have 18 servers, so a server merge means pass from 18 servers to 12 for example.
Region merge = Transferr al the EUW user to EUC servers, deleting EUW
We need a Server merge in EUC, to much sv now. And for EUW… they added this region to late, so is normal that now is dead.
I don’t really understand why for example the market and the pvp would be that impossible to share between regions as it already exists in other games. Probably the pvp is a more complicated topic, but the auction house? Why isn’t that already shared? Man, I’m playing deadeye on eu west, imagine my tripod situation, getting them to lvl4 was hard already, but getting them to lvl5 is starting to be funny at this point due to lack of gear on the AH. Maybe it is just me beeing stupid, but I can’t imagine that AH merge is that hard, and that would be a huge step into the right direction Imo.
Yeah, the crossplay is in a lot of games already, the most important thing is we need to know if they will ever work on region transfer or just straight up not, so we can make the decision to just quit and stop wasting time
Market for deadeyes is bad on EUC, can’t imagine how much worse it is on EUW
