  • What was the criteria used for determining what servers to merge with who?

    My server, (9) Sylvia, was recently merged. We were a small group and at first was happy with the news of the merger...at first. Evidently the other server needed additional cannon fodder as their lower ranked people were jumping ship left and right. Instead of being able to welcome some fair, new competition we were literally thrown to the twin wolves of MasterCard and Visa. In recent WBs, there are people that don't even get a hit on the first monster and are lucky to get two or three in for the rest. There is no chance for advancement on our server now without investing hundreds of dollars at a throw. Wait....guess I just figured out the criteria for the merger by myself. I have submitted tickets asking this question, as well as trying to find out if "un"mergers were available. Ofc there has been no answer. Anyone else disenchanted with the "new" merged servers?

    Most of the Low active player-servers receive with-in game poll, which they will vote, whenever they want to receive an a merge. Well we don't know if, the results are manipulated or not...
    And yes the merge is 99% unfair of all merges and games especialy if you merge old->new ones. Or merging wallet server with any other ^^.
    Even we received some smashing players, but for now we are ok. Yes the competition raised, but thats normal in any game. And i should include the competion is mostly from our main players which saved alot of resources and/or donated some diamonds with the go.

    Should i say that, Shade, from our server do 100b per hit and WB literaly ends in 3~5 sec ?

      By logic merge happens between servers with in same time zone and with not too much of an time gap, so it wont be month old merged with year old. And merge happens when devs decide its needed . Rest is our speculation. But of course older servers in merge mostly has the strong ones along, so not so older servers will need to adapt to new striker people.

          Mod would answer that merge happen when devs see it needed, as it been stated by mods many of other similar threads during past. And the criteria if use common sense are same as i said.

            Devs are making merges when they have a big list of servers in merge request list. Criteria is not disclosed to us, but from what i know that they have statistics of activity and other things for servers and try to make a balanced merge. But it is balanced not by battle rating or strength of player.

              my server at the time was 8 months old, we got thrown in with 2 servers that were both over double our server age. Its like they have a pack of monkeys playing dice to determine it.

                    > Balanced.

                    Yet decide to merge a two month old server with servers that are way older, and thus, a lot more power difference between the players.

                        the thing is that to do the merge you use about the same time areas, it doesn't really matter if our server ask or not,....it is like somebody ask for a cigar and we are swallowing the smoke......

                              At first - forget about free game! (if free - so too long time).
                              At second - in this game too many participants who playing as worker (5-6 server jointly) and help to develop this game.
                              at third - look at first line. good luck!
