'Khorak' as a word exists in only three permutations. It is a town in India. It is some sort of food in what I think is Iranian. It is the name of my lunatic 'evil overlord' alterego who exemplifies a fair few entries from tvtropes.org.
And I should pay someone who sat on it? I don't think it's a great precedent to pay people to have your face back after they've torn it off your head love.

Brutes have a lot of power sets Scrappers don't. Like Superstrength. It's an irritation since I then have to write up a bio explaining why I'm referring to everyone else in the Rogue Isles as a piece of scum. That I don't bother going on missions and just street rampage my way through every level makes it a bit easier.

I'm not sure if the problem is that they don't read the posts already here, or whether it's not being able to accept that the reasons given in those posts are genuine ones for the people posting them - kind of "that doesn't agree with what I consider to be a real reason so I'll ignore it" kind of thing....
One good thing about a server merge would be the end of the incessant server merge posts - but then I wouldn't be here to read them
I guess there would then be a load of "where did everyone go, why's the population so low after we got our server merge?" posts

On the contrary, whereas EvE started off with one server, games that have started with more than one server then had servers merged have usually gone down the pan shortly afterwards. Auto Assault being a prime example.
One thing that did concern me though was at 12.30 Sunday afternoon, I did a search for heroes between lvls 31 and 45 on Union and got a list of 50. That list wasn't truncated.

I agree, I've seen low counts too, but right now (7.15 GMT on Union, Monday morning) there are 86 heroes - more than I expected for that time of day... weird, innit?
Is it the weekend already?
UNION @Flitz 50, Lead Hose 50, Red Rag 50
DEFIANT Rose Bloodthorn 34
VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!
Afraid so Flitz. Apparently someone was too lazy to use the search function and actually read old threads.

Let's see. I wouldn't be in that list because the character I spent almost all day Sunday on is a 50, but also because I'm rarely in game by 12.30 on a Sunday. I'm not usually awake enough to work a keyboard at 12.30 on a Sunday. A lot of people get up late on Sundays... or have to go out shopping, like FFM said.

I've never bothered posting in one of these threads before , partly because I feel that the reasons against server merging are self-evident and have been explained repeatedly before.
However I felt that given the compaints of not seeing anyone around is one of the arguements used, along with difficulty in teaming I would let people know what it is like in some other, supposedly better populated MMOs.
Along with CoX in the past 4 years I have played both LotRO and more recently WaR, in both of these games teaming was seemingly non-existant, they only formed on an ad-hoc basis and as soon as whatever quest was done they fell apart. WAR is a very good example of what people have been talking about, I spent "days" in that game seeing only maybe 3 other players, this was on a heavily populated server, once you got beyond the start area the split was so extreme that even using the auto join team tool there were no teams to join. This game is now allowing server transfers to players to try to counter this, this is transferring from servers with many more players than Union let alone Defiant.
Now over the past week or so I haven't failed to find a team on either of our 2 lower populated servers every time I've been on. We have a completely different ethos on CoX, it's fun to team, a good team will help you advance not steal your xp.
Oh and by the way since the server transfers WAR is now deemed to be in trouble Because you don't offer that sort of thing if your game isn't in difficulties.
WAR is in trouble. It's little more than a series of battle grounds cobbled onto a PvE game that's as linear as Dungeon Siege.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it not true.
Imagine you support a premier league football club. Your club suddenly anounces they are selling off all thier star players. What are you going to think?
I really should do something about this signature.

A better example may have been Planetside. It merged US servers at one point. Although it is still going.

Actually, a better example would have been ANY game that has more than one server. EvE always has been, and always was, designed to run serverless. It's totally useless to try to use it as a comparison with games that have multiple servers.
