Used its time better? u mean spent more money, had more sales, longer playtime ( since servers merged ) and had the luxury of 3.0 weapons? hurr hurr hurr. U cant even compare Isen and Jainus, Since Jainus consists of MANNY servers that has been around since Open Beta. So ofcourse it gonna have more players, It's just common sense and has nothing to do with balance or which server is the most " fun " to play. Ive been on Jin and Marea since OB so yeah...the only GOOD thing jainus has is the player base. nothing else.
And like milord said....someone with the lowest tier of a crafted weapon or armor can still slay a player whith the endgame tier armor ( Opaniel Set ) on isen, While on jainus a player thats been able to stick around for the past 5 years have upgrades and 3.0 weapons and can basicly tank a whole guild by himself,
Balance?
Bottom line is....
Jainus top players just wants new people to kill...thats about it,
I could have sold my chars on jainus when i moved to Isen but i kept them just so i could stick around and farm and see how the server evolves....and well.... no no new player would enjoy going to jainus for any other reason than higher player population, thats the ONLY reason, Other than that...you gain nothing as a new player, u will get 1 shotted if you are stupid enough to buff someone from the wrong guild and so on and no USEFULL rewards or easy obtanible gear that dont get your 1 shotted,
Newbie friendly?
Would be intressting to see a returning or fresh players create a char on each server and play them for a week and see which one he would enjoy the most....answer is pretty obvious if you dont have the IQ of snail,
Despite all of this...i would still like to see a merge happen...cause in 2 years PlayWith will have no choice since player numbers are dropping every year, It will be intressting to see how they will make it work. Like alien said...YES most Isen players would hate it and would probly quit rohan after 2 weeks, However...it will happen sooner or later with the dying number players this game has
