So its been suspected for weeks that there is a large majority of players that are trying to sabotage the server to force a merge to PVP1.
Last night we had one confirmation of this actually being discussed, but by no means does this confirm anything. However it seems likely based on actions of some nations and others within the server.
While I understand the desire to merge into PVP1 the are certain problems with this.
For most USA East coast players the move would be fine, but others to the west would be impacted by the change and would have latency issues.
The other issue I see is server queues would make a comeback.
Unity can scale but the engine is close to its limits already on PVP1, if the base netcode is still being used it may take a move to a 3rd party netcode that is built for MMOs.
The real issue is money, even if they are using a 3rd party netcode module it doesn't just increase your ability to scale. It cost more to handle more connections, some of these SDKs and distributed computing platforms aren't cheap.
This is a niche game already, if what has been heard is true your just destroying it for all of us.
