Server Merging could be first step for testing and monitoring, how could work for Region Merging in the future.
But that’s just too optimistic.
sorry? you do know that when euw appeared people still had trouble logging in euc or not?, in the 3 weeks people had enough of the queues and decided to move to euw, those that remained had more brain and chose to stay because they KNEW that the new region will die fast.
There was also cause to believe it wouldnt either as at that point the gane had 1.3mill concurrent players and over 52 servers that would have left quite a decent population on each. Alast it didnt work out but to have zero compassion or sympathy for those players tells me everything id need to know about your personality and you as a person. The internet is anonymous but true colours are always revealed.

came back after 3 months not playing on euw, holy shit what a ghost town, sadge
please merge with us i have more accessories to sell at ridiculous prices. Just sold a raid cap and adre relic stone for 4k lmao.
last week it was only worth 800g
No point discussing this and telling people what is best for smilegate and so on. Only smilegate has the answers, but sadly everyone is avoiding this topic like a plague.
Also amazon games should have technology for transfers since new world has region transfer system. Its not only euw that will need transfers, there might come a time when other regions need to merge or people want to transfer to other region because they moved irl. Such obvious things are in most games nowadays, no idea why smilegate hasn’t thought of this before.

Also its not as dead as people make it out to be, my server time shows 2:30am so its not even peak hour, and yet there are 10+ lobbies. The problem is however at night and early in the morning its very hard to find lobbies and of course the worst thing, market…
So stop saying stuff like there are no players, there are enough players to make a transfer worth it, if you have never played in euw why are you even commenting here?
It was already a mistake to seperate Region. Cheap solution to create EUW inorder to fix EUC queque problem. (Because of bots)
In Korea, to create an account, you need personal ID. That’s how the game was designed.
In West, ID for account is uncommon, because it’s against privacy and data protection usually.
I’m in EUW, like you joined 2 months later.
not really a mistake to separate regions, but the mistake was that they launched euc first, and then realize thats their biggest market and servers are filled to the brim, and then launched euw as an afterthought
had the game release with 2 eu servers, that wouldve been fine
had the game release with actual servers ran by people and not hamsters on a wheel, that wouldve been fine
had they just ignored it and never made euw, just keep handing out some compensation or some, that wouldve been fine
but no, they gotta pump out an euw to fix euc, kinda like parents having a second kid to be a nanny for their first kid who has disabilities.
I don’t think region merging is even possible, even if they made the technology…
I think character names are per region, so… Who decides who keeps names if two people share names?
If someone who could careless about the merge, ends up having to merge and has to change their name… yeah.
WoW had the same issue and found a solution.
Just put an invisible number after name like for an example: Yours Slippe(#1) and other player with same name Slippe(#2)
That’s not a bad idea. If I ran a bus or someone needed to mail me money or something, how does the player choose specifically which Slippe it’s going to?
Either way, to add the system takes time, which AGS doesn’t have cause they aren’t the developers, and I don’t think it’s on the prio list for SG, maybe a few devs are working on it as a low priority task. So it might even be a while before the determine how to properly implement it within the game to even say it’s coming
At this point in time, the tech does not exist to accomplish region merges, so this is not currently a possibility.

The question was whether or not it can happen in the future. If noone is working on it and there are no plans then its simple, just say no. The sooner we know it the better.
I’m sure they can’t say it’s being worked on or not.
Even if it is being worked on, what if they can’t come to a conclusion that doesn’t impact the player base in a negative way?
I said something about not being able to do it above because of names, and someone suggested a way WoW does it by adding an invisible #next to the name. But then they need to determine how actual players will tell two players apart. With numbers? Like how discord has it? Or battlenet? But those have always had it, so players joined that service with that knowledge. Players here didn’t. Now the players that don’t want additions on their names, now have additions. And that means universally ALL players now need this even without a merge.
Even if they find a solution with the transfer of names, however they implement it, will then more than likely sprout more possible problems than need to be looked at.
Cause I’m sure you, like everyone else likes the names of their characters. Whether it’s a one word name, or a name with specific numbers.
I get people wanting a merge. But it can’t happen overnight, and they CANNOT say they are working on something like this.
More than likely, some part of the community will be negatively impacted without good thought put into it. And if they can’t figure that out, it’s better to not say it’s being worked on and not be able to come to finish it, than say it is and fail to deliver.
Idk where the invisible Part comes from. But its not invisible
Players from your own Server Just have “Title Name”
Players from a different Server has The Servername Added like:
Lost Ark names System, with no Duplicates in a Region is totally Different, and was a Bad decision to develop it like that.
But it is probaly so hardcoded in to the System, that its practically impossible to Change anymore.
A “Simple” and BEST Solution, if EUW and EUC Merge, any Name gets an -EUW -EUC suffix.
Simple just theoretically. Depending on the Code it could be not so simple.
The Worst Solution, but my highest guess what gonna be happen, since EUW is the Smaller Region, which would get merged INTO EUC, everyone Ex-EUW Roster gets a Random Generated name upon Merge for any Duplicate and gets a free Name Change Ticket per Random Name.
I cant believe people actually think username matters that much. For all I care you can turn my name into random code. Without a doubt username is the least of their worries and there are many, many different ways to solve such simple problem.
That’s not true many people care about their usernames. I remember all those topics about „people stole my name“ and more Like that.
No, it will never happen.
Why would it tho?
Wasting Human ressources for about 1k Players??
Better speed up Updates and Content. Those on EUW got now, what everyone said, when that Region was bout to launch. Its a Wasteland without any chance of surviving.
I always thought names had to be unique global-wise.
I’m almost certain this is the case because I cannot choose on EUW the same names I have on my characters in EUC. So… I feel like whoever brought this up started a discussion based on invalid parameters xD
Anyway… I’m honestly tired of seeing Roxx always answering the same exact thing “we currently dont have the tech” without even elaborating on they’re working on, IF they are or not. At this point, it’s pointless to ask. You either like the game and continue on, hoping for a solution to come, or you swap to EUC, or you stop playing. No other choice, tbh
