ИДЕЯ ДЛЯ РИЗОМА

Having read through the thread, I think that the problems with merging shards have been clearly stated: difference in cultural attitudes (IRL and in-game), language problems in some cases making it *harder* to find teams and get assistance and in all cases producing cacophony, and difficulties in setting up/adjusting/etc. the matter of OP's and guild names.

I would also like to second Meagon on the statement that the shards were not meant to hold "thousands" of people. In my opinion, "hundreds" would be much more reasonable, with perhaps a total population per shard of around a thousand. The question I have, for those reading from the other shards: How low are the populations of Aniro and Leanon? I get the impression that they are far more populated than Arispotle.

Actually the population of Aniro is the lowest I've ever seen...
The kamis control all OPs and many players from the karavan have left the game.
There's no more balanced OP wars, and no more PvP challenge.

The only things that seem to keep Aniro alive are events, and events are the most likely to suffer if the shards are merged... :S

Well nobody knows the real deal but I have the feeling that the population on Leanon is slowly on the rise again.

And just to name it:
There are 3 Kami temples (Fyros, Tryker, Zorai) and 1 Karavan temple (Matis) on Leanon.
In addition we've got Ailan Mac'Kean (hope the name's spelled right) as Tryker governour and afaik that's not the case on all shards.

But take a look here at some estimated stats: http://www.3025-game.de/ryzom/en/statistics/

Edit: take a look at the dappers/char or dappers/guild on lea compared with the other shards or the HP of the chars on Aniro compared with Aris ;-)

You may want to check on the disclaimer of that site ... they only aggregate data for those who supply their API keys, and it does not appear that they have that many of those. The data on HP for example is only available for 163 homins on Arispotle (divide total by average) as it requires this info to be visible, while the info on, say, factions is for 417 registered homins (which is available from public keys) ... try searching me ... I'm not in :)

That's the reason why I said "estimated" ;-)

But you're right I should have highlighted it better.
I'd really like to see such stats with the real numbers though... (even if it's only the average / percentages and without the #players/toons)

Well, why not, I don't have really idea, I like aniro's environement and friendly behaviour, but if there need to merge for the sake of Ryzom, then I'm ok :)

I'm just repeating what other people have said, but I share their opinion:
It would be nice to have more people, but I don't want the shards to be merged. My main reasons are language and play style.

I started on Windermeer the original US server. Merging with Ari turned out wonderful. Meeting so many new ppl to befriend and play with was terrific.That being said it was a merger with both servers speaking english.It was also very early on and many things like ops were not ingame yet. Doing it now would imo most likely kill the game. It would mean the loss of the divergent history in matters of Temples,Camps and Goverments to name a few.Combine that with the language and playstyles and Ryzom would see a mass exodus of subs. I know I would hate to login one day to find everything I worked for the past 7 years is gone. Since Ari has a smaller population then the other servers it will surely be the loser in the which servers' history stays intact contest.To me this is far to much to gamble with a very small reward.Newer players who have invested much less may be willing throw away the indviduality and history but I and large portion of vets would be gutted losing their version of Atys.-Kil

I too, started on Windermeer server. And yes the merger meant meeting many new players which was wonderful. Unfortunately, my first order of business after merge was dealing with a forced change of guild name. Seems our guild name was in violation of future content that was never brought to our attention until merger. This was not a happy time for Cara-Via.


I am certain that any future merger would create similar situations for other guilds and players.
