where exactly in here (copied from your OP)....
...do you make the distinction that
I am sorry, but if you are thinking we all have crystal balls to stare at between our legs or are expected to read your mind, you are mistaken. As well, why exclude veteran players here in this? Are they not just as affected by this as your "new and returning players"?But I made this thread for newbies or for the players which coming back to rohan and want 2 play to get back stuff.
I see no reason to merge Isen or even delete it. If Isen is too expensive to run then just delete the dang thing and be done with it. The Isen players will either join into Jainus (least likely scenario), or they will get pissed off and leave (most likely scenario). Hell, PlayWith could even offerf them a migration from Isen like they did for the pinoy players from RohanPH.
So you are looking for an "Old Rohan" server are you? That is not pay-to-win? With hunterkits (did not exist in "Old Rohan" btw..). Here We Go...
Isen was marketed at the beginning as a non-P2W server and drew a lot of folks from the pservers to check it out. They left again. Why? Because it is actually is so p2w that it might as well be a pay-to-play server.
But let's look back on PWYNKi's efforts along the lines of giving players 'their' perfect server:
Tempest: First server re-roll for those folks that did not like trying to compete in the early server merges. Jook at the bottom of the server list and you will see it as one of the Jainus servers. = Failed.
Divinity: Created to be an epic / upgrade-free server for those that did not want to try and compete in Sheilyn & Ohn. Had a happy following as long as the name stayed "Divinity".
Jin: Still promised to be Epic and Upgrade free forever. Can anyone tell us what they were selling in JIN a couple months before the last merge? (Hint: Starts with a "U"). At the end of the day where is Jin? Look at the top of that Jainus server list for that answer.
In short they have done "new" servers far too many times to address those having attacks of nostalgia and wanting an "Old Rohan" before ___________ (you fill in the blank here).
What you guys asking for this don't realize is this:
No company will ever 'devolve' their product. Ever. I made that in big colorful letters with the hope that it sinks in.
Regardless of what you want there are 3 facts that are gospel when it comes to corporations like PW/YNK:
1. The product MUST make enough money to justify its upkeep and support. Any product that fails to perform is removed from the market.
2. The product MUST be supportable using current resources. Any product that cannot be supported with the least cost will be removed from the market.
3. Customers will ALWAYS pay for products that have more features. They will not pay for products that have less features. Products that do not forward the growth of the company must be removed from the market.
For PlayWith, Rohan is a product. They expect it to not only pay for its support & maintenance overhead, but to bring profits to the corporation once all the expenses have been subtracted. While it may be marginally free to play this game for you, for PlayWith it is far from free to run and even farther than freed to keep within those 3 golden rules. Like it or not any additional servers playwith creates will be done with the vision that it will make at least as much PROFITS as Jainus does. If it does not, the server gets closed by merging until there are no more servers to merge.
So give up any ideas you might have that PlayWith Interactive will EVER put a server that is not heavily pay-to-win. It simply will never happen.
Now having said that, PlayWith Interactive is certainly free to prove me wrong, but will lay odds with anyone here that they will not.
