Bring together the EU Elsword servers
Bring together the EU Elsword servers
The Issue
Gameforge hosts 6 Elsword servers all having different languages, even though this allows people native to their countries communicate with ease, it isolated the players from each other essentially making the servers "Dead" in comparison to the North American or Korean versions of the game.
In the past week I have messaged certain people from each of the communities asking if they think merging would be a beneficial idea to everyone and if they are interested in said idea.
They also helped me think of solutions to problems that people might come up with.
Some of these problems would be:
- Language Barrier (Not everyone can understand the same language)
- IGN Issues (If there is a conflict, who gets the name?)
- Economy Changes (Different servers have different economies)
However these problems disappear if we use a system similar to the Korean's "Solace and Gaia". It is essentially a system in which the two different servers remain split, having their own unique economies, playerbases, characters and the like. However dungeons, PvP, fields and queues are merged into a single pool.
This means that the players are still able to speak in their own language as the servers are technically still segregated, having only their queues merged. Furthermore, IGNs, the economy, the rank boards, items availability in the server and all of the issues mentioned above would be avoided.
An example of the server names would be: (Prone to change)
Solace: Germany
Gaia: UK
Rosso: Spain
Denip: France
Ventus: Italy
Ebalon: Poland
This petition has been formed as a result of the plethora of threads, polls and requests players have made in the various forums of Elsword EU. If we are to make this dream become reality, working together and showing our support in unison will allow KoG and Gameforge4D to see how much we, the players, want this.
Furthermore there are many benefits which can come with this queue merge. Not only would queues become far more populated - from Elder to Sander - but it would also give people to play with notable PvPers and PvEers from the other servers. When considering that all of the servers are in Europe, lag is also an issue which the players would not have to face, thus avoiding a catastrophic server merge such as the NA and LatAm one.
Here we have the opportunity to rekindle and repopulate smaller servers, provide competition for bigger servers and create a pseudo-population increase for all. All with little to no lag and no negative impacts in boards or the economy.
Your vote is what counts, so let's show what we really want for the EU community.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q .What will happen if i share a name with someone?
A. same nicknames would not matter as we have the solace gaia ebalon system
Q. why not just make a new EU server?
A. making a new one would be a stupid idea and would cause alot of problems for players and gameforge we already have 6 servers that divide us why would we want another? No one wants to start again
Q . what about lag?
A . well i know only a few people actually from the uk on the uk server most people come from everywhere else and when i fight someone from europe there is little to no lag at all so no worries
Q. why not just ip block people that arent from europe when this happens?
A . ip blocking would only remove more players from queues and would make the communities more dead + juiced has already said before she has no plans of ip blocking
Q. what about language barriers?
A. language isnt an issue either as everyone will still be in their communities and apart from when you pvp or dungeon
Q. what about the economies
A. economies dont get anywhere near eachother as that would cause chaos and overpricing and in general unhappy people switching servers because of the economy will not matter either as we all are united in some ways too.
