[2023] One last euw moan before you close forum and ignore us forever

We are currently discussing and looking into options with a merge. Absolutely not ignoring anyone, actually had quite a few great conversations about it in Discord last night!

We did! The topic of merges are constantly evolving. If you remember merges were first decided against and that was only a few months ago. Now, due to players feedback, the conversations have reopend and logistics looked into.

Not at all, Roxx and I were clear in our information that region and server merges would not be happening only a few months ago.

No problem! I understand! We’re just the messengers, not the decision makers and definitely not those that touch code. Could you imagine the mess?

Feedback is important for any case in the same way that sure, everyone has their opinons on stuff and alot of it contradicts which people don’t see. But when it becomes focused and allows us to gather metrics and really flesh out a full report, it carries more weight when big decisions like this need to be made.

There are only so many resources on a dev team and it’s hard to prioritize and shift focus or make changes very quickly. Especially with two big brands.

Right… only a couple of months. At this time we were also working on roadmaps, classes, the letter and more. Things this big do not move quickly. No matter how badly anyone wants it to.

Of course, there was a point of miscommunication too in what was even possible. As region merges and server merges are two completely different things which is why things looked like they bounced around. It wasn’t until more recent that the number of players on the servers became a concern to experience content.

Amazon, AGS and AWS are all seperate from each other.

At this time the only information I have is the team is discussing the pros and cons of region and/or server merges while also looking into the steps that would need to be taken to make it work on the technology side. There are no current timelines or expectations.

I’ll be honest that there was even a moment of confusion within the team with the words server and region being swapped around at first without realizing it. Never was it intentional, just an honest mistake. And then there was confusion by what is possible and not. Then a decision to not do anything BECAUSE of the confusion but now that it’s all talked out, settled and organized (thanks to feedback) we’re now confidently moving forward.

And no problem!! I’m happy to answer! This was all things that we discussed last night in the Discord and were able to gather even more ‘complaints’ of players unable to do new content which we take very seriously.

When it effects millions of accounts and multiple different departments, it does.

As long as the rules are followed that everyone agrees to before they can even type, no one is banned due to just feedback.

Absolutely and any time!! Yeah, the island thing is a huge concern that we’re following.

Definitely not lessening your experience at all! Working with systems like this I fully am aware that no two setups are alike.

Actually it’s MUCH easier on Discord haha, I’m only this chatty currently because I’m able to be more casual with chats and less ‘statement’ focused now

Okay
