all the talk about what time it was pst is totally stupid cause not every1 that plays this is on pst time...lots of ppl from europe play it so server time is not relevant. im all up for server merge. isnt it better to have 2 battle areas full of games on 1 server then to wait for 8-10min for a battle? tho they might need a better server to avoid lag issues cause lag is bad as it is now with not that many players online :P

Thanks, but theres always like that, and theres times that its lot worse..

Server time is relevant, as that time is generally regarded to be the "dead" time; I.e. where there aren't many players online.

And lag isn't bad, I only get lag when I am on a poor internet connection, or if I am on a PC with not enough RAM/A dedicated GPU.

Curious to the need to censor out your shipname.

Though I will have to eventually say yes for all the new players during the Nelson Server time period that got screwed.

And the fewer players that join, the longer the wait for the battles, and the fewer players that join.... obviously at some point the server just doesn't fill up again the next day (as has been seen a multitude of times, with game servers of all different online games, and in timezones all around the world). That's why it's a problem no matter what timezone you're in. The key is to ensure the server has traffic 24 hours a day, even if it's only a little bit.

Obviously NF won't be around forever - but if the Kaiser server dies, do you think all the players will start again on the Nebby server? No, if players can't get a game they will just go and play something else.

If you read by posts, you would see I support a server merge.

What we need is:
1. Allow free transfers from Nebby to Kaiser
2. Provide incentives for moving to Kaiser, e.g. 20% EXP boost for the next month
3. Run TNF events such as monster ship at set times during the day on Kaiser, e.g. Every 2 hours, on the even hour, you can run the monster ship rooms. This will encourage people to play on Kaiser server

I did read your posts; I wasn't disagreeing with you - quite the opposite.

I was highlighting the importance of not losing the "dead" time crowd. Once the server becomes deserted, even during the "night", that's when a server loses critical mass and dies. Those who think the server is there for "USA afternoon battles" don't understand that, without people playing at other times, the server won't be there at all.
