Yeah i saw how active you have been until now Perìdot to propose directions in ways with which any party is satisfied, us, the Players, and the Developers/Technicians/Managers. The thread-title is already contradicting the content of the very 1st post but this is all about to keep up the momentum on that whole topic.
All of that realm-consolidation in its actual form looks like there are just not enough ressources = money, or it is not wanted to channel the amount it takes to realize what we do propose, which is at least:
2 additional servers = 1 international PVP balanced // 1 international RP
or
4 or 6 additional servers, meaning, the Russian and the French community would still have no RP-Server as before and the Spanish community would be forced again to connect to the EN international community, OR, the PVE-communities of the French-community & the Russian-community agree to just 1 Server for each region being PVP (being changed from PVE now), to be not disruptive on these 2 communities having again too many servers for too few people, at least this was the problem for the French people with Sulfuron dying and Auberdine being alive, maybe that was also the case for 1 of the 2 Russian-Servers, so that
1 EN PVP, 1 EN RP
1 DE PVP, 1 DE RP
1 FR PVP
1 RU PVP
additional Servers or
1 EN PVP, 1 EN RP
1 DE PVP, 1 DE RP
addtional Servers while
1 FR PVE changed to -----> 1 FR PVP
1 RU PVE changed to -----> 1 RU PVP
these 2 Russian and French PVE Servers are turned into PVP Servers.
Now it is 4 EU-PVE-Servers:
1 EN PVE Server -----> 1 Mainserver & 4 Layered-Subservers (MirageRaceway)
1 DE PVE Server -----> 1 Mainserver & 1 Layered-Subserver (Everlook)
1 RU PVE Server -----> 1 Mainserver (Plamegor = Flamegore)
1 FR PVE Server -----> 1 Mainserver (Auberdine)
So we are talking about at least +2 Servers if it is about the fewest additional costs, to be the most convenient for all Nations and playmodes (other than PVE whichs is RP & PVP).
I think with the current status of all ‘Active Realms’ being ‘Full’ and Auberdine & Plamegor/Flamegore being ‘High’, additional PVP and RP Servers would not be so disruptive for these ‘Full’ PVE-flagged communities (EN, DE = GER). But with the Russian and French communities’ Servers being ‘High’ populated, maybe it is also a good solution to the Russian and French PVErs having the server type being changed into PVP from PVE.
