The servers aren't going to be merged just because -you- want more players to play with Merrill, maybe those players are happy where they are and don't want to play with you

Yes. This is early access. Yes, in some small part we are indeed testing the game. however we did not pay 40 dollars to be purely testers at the complete whim and mercy, even though I do understand that things do and must change for the better or worse, the fact that I haven't spoken up till now on the forums shows you that I have had faith in the direction and changes of the developers in regards to the way the game is played. I'm not quite what sure more testing needs to be done that the 100 extra potential people, (assuming that half may quit on a merge, these numbers are going to be fuzzy, theres clearly people in PVP2 who want their shit in pvp1 and damn anyone elses opinon on that matter, and people who want to stay in PVP2 because of latency concerns or are quite happy with the community created (I have 260ms to pvp2 and you want me to be even more handicapped?, it gives the advantage to the americans a global us server of course, but, gives everyone else a more level playing field.) If there really was the large scale testing needed, I would have assumed the most valuable data was generated when we had 1-4k players on PVP1 or whatever the number was. Hopefully PVP2 and PVE2 USA will be merged if there is going to be any merges and players can choose between either PVP1 and PVE2 USA or PVP1 and PVP2 USA Yes, we are testing the game to give them feedback, but we also paid 40 USD a not so miniature sum of money for everyone and as they do not seem keen on discounting the price anytime soon (unless they are looking at the winter/summer sale) I think theres a little more leeway to be granted in regards to shutting PVP2 aswell. I just hope that the members of PVP2 who do not wish their server to close, opinions are as valued as the members of the server that would like to relocate all their valuables to pvp1 because that server has their preference of play. yes, playing with a larger group of people is a preferential playstyle as well if my wish to stay on pvp 2 is merely a preference~

I would please ask the developers would they kindly please keep PVP2 open as long as it is feasible to do so. I will not be playing this game if PVP2 is closed and everyone is forced into PVP1, I realise and understand that there are other australians happily playing on PVP1, and if pvp combat every single night is that important to them that they had to move servers, I am glad they made the right choice for them. I do not want to deal with more than 400ms latency which I will be forced to do so if the server merges and the server location stays in europe. If there will be 1 server it should be based in the USA, to be fairest across the entire planet, this does give a small advantage to US players but I don't think that will stop europeans or australians, whereas other parts of the world suffer from extreme latency trying to get to europe and normally have to go through the USA to get there. I also enjoy the community spirit that has been growing in PVP2 lately, the mood has been improved for the better almost week by week, and I see more and more action (yes even with diminishing numbers), even with 1/3rd of one of the big guilds in the british faction on the server leaving for PVP1. Clearly the best option in my opinion is to let those who want to take their toys to PVP1 to do so, and let those who want to take their toys to PVP2 to do so, but this is going to cost development time, hopefully not too much, and should be a 1 time move so people can't abuse it
