[Event Suggestion]Soul Shard Catch-Up

[hoss9424]

The recent server merge of (S50)Crimson Groves with 5 other servers, many much older, has caused quite a bit of controversy. Personally, I have tried to take the good with the bad and move on. I feel that the much younger servers deserve some sort of chance to catch up on stats. In my opinion, the best way to do so is to allow the younger servers to be able to catch up on soul shards. Everyone knows that soul is the best stat improvement in the game. My suggestion is to create an event that produces soul shards in a quantity relative to the age of the server, with the younger server members getting more shards. I think this would help those of us on the younger servers get a chance to be competitive in things such as sengolia, guild resource and delivery.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

So basically you want the GMs to give an event that would reward people on newer servers, but not the older servers? There are new players on older servers also. But regardless of that fact, basically you want the players that have been around for a long time, and have been loyal and have been playing hard and working hard to get where they are to not receive the benefits of other players that have not be around as long, or moved to a new server from an older server because then they could be on top. I view this whole topic as unfair. And I am not an old player... I have only been playing for about 5 months, and my server is not super old.

Yeah, basically. What was not fair was being merged with 5 older servers. Our server had a grand total of 10 scions when merged. Explain what was "fair" about that, as you put it.

Hmm, I don't think that will happen.

Losing out on older players would cost R2 more than losing out on newer players. Older players already have invested a lot, so they're likely to stay (and thus invest more money) than newer players.

Well since eventually all PVP West Servers will be ONE server, and all PVP East Server will be ONE server, and all PVE West will be ONE server, and all PVE East will be ONE server, there are always going to be servers that think its unfair.

So I am guessing that in 5 or 6 months when your server is merged with another 5 servers, you are still going to think this is a good idea. When you have put in lots of time and energy and money (in game gold or xtal) into building your character, a newer server gets merged with yours, the players on that server have not put in the time and energy that you have so they should be given a butt load of soul shards to make up for the fact that they are newer and have not put in the work you have.

So you view it that your server is newer, there are lots more stronger players now. So you see this solution as being fair. But what about when you are one of those strong players? What about when you have put the time and energy into your character and then you see people from newer servers complaining because they have not been around as long to make themselves strong.

It all takes work. Work yourself up there and you wont have any problems. One day you will be the strong one and someone else will be the one making unreasonable suggestions on the forum...
