I Think the only way that I would feel would be fair is to allow players to
redeed what they have and take as many items as they can hold (on themselves
and in their bank) and start from scratch. Although that is only
semi-fair...there are alot of people that really have put a great deal of
effort into building thier cities etc. And I, myself would be slightly
disappointed at losing my great store location just on the outskirts of
Theed.
Of course, anyway you look at it - there really would be problems. Could
you imagine being a master WS or AS that has been playing since launch and
loosing all of the resources you have collected over almost 2 years? Or for
me, the heartbreak would be - losing all of the rare items that I have spent
time and money collecting :/
They couldnt merge with buildings down though - because I am sure that in
the more populated areas - the buildings would overlap..all around the major
cities, and places like the kryat graveyard there are cities on every
server...
Out of curiosity, those of you that have stuck with this game through
everything else...would a server merge cause you to rethink staying? Would
you quit if you had to start with nothing?
