Default DESTROY S2 altogether

Dear Glitchless,

Would you consider consolidating the two servers?

S2 has a playerbase that's borderline anemic. If both servers can be combined, it would help activity rise and make the game more competitive among higher level players.

In terms of characters I believe (you can prove me wrong) you can transfer the player files from s2 to s1, and if a name's already taken you can give the owner an option to choose an open name.

For the kingdoms, I don't know how complicated it would be, but - would you be able to scan the table to see how many kds a toon owns, what the aggregate rune count is, and then either give that to players as direct gold (they would have to provide the toon names that are going to mule the gold) OR as Anubis suggested, give them ash at a rate of 1b = 10 ash on S1 when they transition over.

Since dxdev, sose toons would still be transferred in the playerfiles, this allows for gold to be transferred over as well.

Thank you,

Laughing At Noobs

I see your point, it is very well written and has a well rounded argument. The logic is impeccable.

It's come up no shortage of times in recent years. There's pros and cons, but a huge difference in economies has been one that has been highlighted. I mean short of combining chat (which I think would be a cool idea, and conducive of new player growth/game liveliness) I don't think it's necessary.

Is it possible or a consideration to perhaps combine the chats Jeff? Or is that
A) n0 cool
B) Overly complicated

Having had experience with combined chats in the past, it's not something we want to do again.

L337 there is no huge difference in economies. At it's core I'd say the S2 economy is quite similar to the S1 economy to the point where combining assets would be negligible.

I'm almost certain the entire populace of S2 would be willing to accept the closure of S2 as long as they are able to maintain playerfiles with items and gold in order to establish themselves in S1.

My proposal is based on the theorem that there is no point to having two servers anymore. Back when it was initiated RWK was a powerhouse of a game in terms of truly active players to where having two separate servers would give a competitive edge to all parties.

Combining chats doesn't do anything as S2 largely doesn't chat much currently other than homo erotic fantasies about a specific salad green.

But thanks for considering!

Instead of flat out 'combining' chat, would you consider tabbing chat and having a 'server' tab and a 'global' tab?

You could even hide it behind a quest item called something like "Multiversal Aligner".

Your browser already supports multitab functionality.

But does the official rwk client support it?

On another note, does that thing even still exist?
