Say it ain't so....not those fair play, for the "good" of the server Swedes!

Majority of the griefing was done with the flag mechanic. Simply remove the mechanic and use the current system. Port A Unlocks between 17:00 - 22:00. Raise hostility during that time period. 24/48 hours later there is a port battle. Port B Unlocks between 22:00 - 02:00. Raise hostility during that time period. 24/48 hours later there is a port battle. Conquer a port and in the port management window you have 3 options. EU, US and Ocean time zones. Each with a larger PB window than the old flag system. If you want to put a even better twist on it, divide the map up into regions or pockets of zones. Zone A ports have a US timer, Zone B Western EU, Zone C Eastern EU, Zone D Oceanic. If you conquer a port inside Zone B and change it to a different time zone the maintenance costs more per day. Conquer the whole zone of ports with the exception of free towns and capitals and it will change the zone to whatever you want and change the cost of the maintenance, giving the nation sort of a mini map win mode. Ideally clan alliances outside the nation (one can hope....) would help offset time zone coverage and force clans to work with each other. Sounds like a fun game to me.

Off topic, but when you do auto correct on your phone....does it try and change english words into German or is it smart enough to know what language you're trying to type in?

The Chinese connect to US servers. Simply make he one server based on the US east coast. Not much changes. No idea what else you’re trying to say

Timers are the solution. EU has timers right now. Just make the 1 merged server have a couple more. There’s enough ports in the map to make it work. RVR changes slightly. OW and Econ stays the same....just with 200 more targets on the Water. My bite the bullet comment refers to ping. At some point someone is gonna be unhappy with how high their ping is. Aussies have 200+ regardless of server. I have 150+ on EU. Unfortunately a game of 1000 active players can’t have regional servers and folks need to bite the bullet and accept their ping. Not sure why @rediii likes to toss it back in my face, but whatever. Anyway, merge will happen eventually. See you guys soon!

No one is saying merge and go back to night flips. We're saying merge and implement some sort of timer solution so EVERYONE can play on the same server happily. Little old Interpido can get his beauty sleep.....I can go to work and not lose ports.....everyone is happy. Unfortunately there are other reasons they don't want us back that have nothing to do with nightflips. They're just a convenient excuse.

I don't recall making a poll post asking for a server name change. I'm trying to make the game better for everyone by getting a merge to happen, Jon Snow is trying to ruin for anyone not in the EU. But I've seen him whining about the lack of content on PVP EU, he's not fooling anyone.....just pandering to the same old bigots on here. A merge will happen. See you guys soon!

You need to link the actual image, not the album page. right click the photo, copy image address....link that address on the forums with the .jpg / .png at the end. #ServerMerge

You aren't fooling me bud. I remember back in 7up when you were pro-global and for a merge. The likes of Rediii and Neero have poisoned your mind.

I'll take an extra 100 players on global. Good idea. Step 1. Merge PVE and PVP Global. Step 2. Merge Global and EU. Step 3. Sink Rediii again (I hear you've had a lack of competition since we broke up). See ya soon!

This is a sandbox game right? Players = content. Not enough players = no content. See ya soon!

What's funny is on discord I see @Jon Snow lets go here complaining about the lack of PVP and content on the EU server.....constantly. I guess he's just being cute on the forums, but I know that deep down in his heart....he misses me. He just wants us to be reunited. You can't fool me on here buddy! Both servers are dying very slow deaths. You talk about it frequently. The population cannot support 2 PVP servers and 1 PVE server, it's time to fix that. See you guys soon! @admin can we do something about this poison and blatant sabotaging of the PVP Global server?

If you have access to a VPN, try connecting with that. You might have an issue with a connection node somewhere.

Another outstanding member of the community posting his bias against the PVP Global server. And yet folks wonder why it didn't work out. @admin how much more of this guy's poison do we have to endure on the forums trying to sabotage global?

The game had the most players back when the lord protector system was in play, 2-3x more population than we have now. It wasn't until the Fine Woods/Hostility patch that we started to dwindle to our current population numbers. I see no reason why the servers can't be merged and we go back to some version of port window system, Obviously with some tweaks here and there.

I wanted a merge from day one. One global sever, no restrictions. Hence the cute little flag in my sig. I didn't make any decisions, they were made for me. And thats the problem.

Nah, they won't budge. You remember what it was like. The EU based clans what their cake and eat it too. Even in their negotiations with the US....it was 90% we give up everything, they give up nothing. It's not about timers, they just want us gone.

The population numbers were low well before the night flips. You know it, I know it. The fine woods patch tanked this game. Despite all these magical EU players quitting the game over night flips and huge population surge you saw at start of the great wipe, you're still back down to the same population levels you had during the night flips. Stop using the US players as a scapegoat for everything wrong with this game. Wanna know why this game lost so many players....In particular US based players? @admin asked this question last week in a thread. Both servers had timer restrictions that did not allow any US player to do conquest past 9pm EST time for over a year. This was on PVP 1 and 2. More US players quit because they were unable to do conquest in their primetime for almost a year. The excuse given was because of server maintenance 6 hours away. This simple oversight made far more players quit than the night flips. No one seems to give a shit about it though. The US player base has been getting the shaft left and right for over a year by the EU players and the Dev team. You don't seem too concerned.

lets also add incredibly selfish to your list of attributes. I know myself and many others would like to be able to play the game that was advertised. A hardcore Naval Combat Simulator. Port Timer restrictions are not hardcore. The ports you've cried about for months have been wiped multiple times since the split. The game is in alpha still. Why do you care if activity happens while you sleep. Why do you give a shit? A server merge is in the best interests of the game overall for longevity, both servers have had significant population decline since the "great wipe", we need more players. If one server doesn't work out at launch, we split up again.

Yea he's just a bitter person who hates US players. His insults go way way back, they hated us before the night flips started.

The danes quit for 2 weeks and then we stopped and they retook Domingo at 11am in the morning. Every single one of them returned and started flipping us during the daytime.

Yet every singly player that said he was going to quit because of the night flips....didn't. And the map was not significantly impacted by our night flips. The day flips however.....did. Stop being a baby.

@Wraith did a pretty good survey of pings and US east coast based location was ideal for the greater majority of players. Most Western EU based folks had better pings than US players.

I'm ok staying up or waking up early to attack your ports if I really want to. Or with the prospect of clan alliances, you could just ally with someone who could. Imagine the possibilities. I'll even let you hire VCO :-)
