Server Merge

[Anubis]

You did this for Nod. Can you please open the discussion with us?

RWK is dying and we're not doing it a favor by having two servers.

Please help us?

[Niizandar]

I support this! i dont even mind losing all my kds for one!

I agree with this, would like to discuss details as well if this is possible

[bismarck]

One pro of having a server merger would be greater competition for acumen, and perhaps $500 first prize and $200 for second, given that you're not hosting two events, however, for plex comp, if you decided to merge to make 12 planes, it would mean each plane would be eligible only once a year.

[zeus]

I'm for it. Would need to iron out the details.. but im in.

I think it could work and would be interesting, BUT it couldnt in any way affect current kd standings for either server.

So the only viable way to do it, would be to have Hev 1 and Hev 2, simply all accessible from one server.

Plus hopefully inquest prizes could be raized back up just a bit.

I fully support the mass clearing of all kds in a server reset. There is no viable way to have Sur1, Sur2, Sur3, that's just pointless. In order to have a successful merge everything must be reset. Start from scratch.

Otherwise there are players that have like 5 quad gold saved up and will make plex comp a non competition anyways given that some of these players already control 40% of a server already.

Maybe make a third server and make ONE character transferable per verified Paypal account so as to maintain fair grounds for all, and then set a timeline as to when S1/S2 will be closed down.

I'd like to point out I also feel like removal of Tects, Stones, and Essence Elements of Treasure (st, t, and gt) would benefit the game greatly during a merge.

The current value of gold and its usefulness has been a huge negative impact on the game with the amount that is available to people to freely be generated.

I'd like to argue that it should entirely wipe all kingdom assets and put everyone in equal contention with 0 gold generation / 0 stored gold.

Problem with that, is its easy to say if you dont have any kds. So far anyone who opposes that idea simply has no kingdoms or very little to worry about, but others who have spent hundreds of hours and real life money to make the kingdoms they have, would simply get screwed. Making that a much less viable option considering those who have a lot of kingdoms tend to be the most active players currently on the game. I.E. Mike o.

So if they were to be wiped after all of these years of work, how would they be compensated ? Have to think into that.

And while i get you are saying if one is wiped all gold would be, but then you have lower players losing 5trill gold and bigger players, even myself losing multi quad trill gold, doesnt quite seem for or like a reasonable idea to the merge.

Sadly the idea of making the server more fair to newer/smaller people defeats the entire entity of RWK. The fact that it will never be wiped is the main thing that gives this game Value in real currency, if you take away that, youll lose any major following you already have, and screw people who have spent 15+ years building up what they have.

I get that the lack of ability to compete with the bigger players in the game sucks, but there has to be some other solution to making that more even than just wiping the maps and screwing them out of there hard work.

What youre not realizing is that most of hte people on S2 with hundreds of thousdands of kds want them gone.

You should stop saying the game has value in real currency as well, the game should be played for fun not for profit and the days of playing it that way should be over. If you want to make stuff actually have value, wipe out the game and start it over.

The game should be about fun (for the entire population) , not total ownership and stake over a plane. Its going to be unfair to some people but you need to conceded that not everything is meant to help you, 'for the greater good' is something everyone should be wanting here. If you want to hoard it all to yourself then thats fine too, you're just a pile of **** thats not intrested in making the game fun for everyone

The mistake in that thinking, is that if the game was just for fun, the game would never have lasted this long. And just FYI, i have spent close to 1000$ of my own money advertising this game in the last few years, i created the rwk facebook page, and advertised there too.

And i dont own a single plane, im not in that top 1%. I do believe that one person owning an entire plane sucks, but in all fairness he worked for it. Showing people that they can bust their ass and grind in this game just to have it vanish.. not the best sign to send to people.

That's all great, that you've put in money to benefit a business you have zero affiliation with. But you shouldn't ever expect that you would get any real benefit or "protection" against it. In the end right now Jeff is just sitting back watching everyone bicker about this while he's formulating his own plan.

It's understandable that you'd get hurt in the feels if everything was reset to zero. But upon playing this game you agreed to the Terms of Use, in which nothing in this game has any monetary value to it whatsoever.

This game is a money sink, many people would still be interested in the game if they had to start from zero. Will you lose some players? Yes, the same way people threatened to leave the US when Obama/Trump were elected. Will the players that had a lot be able to build up from scratch? Yes. The players who are able to put in time and determination will still benefit from their activity, whilst players that are inactive won't gain much.

Right now there is no point whatsoever in having two different servers based on the player populations.

Ya got me all wrong migs, im far from hurt in the "Feels" Just putting up some opinions. And ive never expected any protection or any special treatment for it, I was simply pointing out that ive been willing to help this game as well.
But the open fact is most wouldnt have stayed this long had the game not been worth real life currency, it makes for a whole different aspect and keeps things more interesting, again just my opinion obviously that doesnt mean for everyone.

And again, i like the idea of a server merger, I think its a great idea, i just dont think a full kd wipe is the way to do it. But as you stated, jeff will decide what he wants in the end, our opinions are nothing more than something to read.

[Laughing At Noobs]

So, Jeff any insight into what you might do?

Or if you plan on saying **** all you guys, no merge?

[Glitchless]

Hell no.

[Anubis]

well. Hope the updates help some..
