Thudor you are right in that respect. Rather than getting rid of one of the most popular events, war, they should be merging servers rather than creating new ones.

The reasoning behind creating these new servers was the hope that people would start again and spend more money on the game and maybe it would also attract new players. But old players who have invested a lot of time and money in building up their characters in their original server are not willing to start again, especially given the lack of trust they have in the people who run KO. At any given moment you could lose everything you worked for with little recourse from an effective customer support team to ever get it back.

So the end result of all this is that the playing community becomes even more scattered. There is not a big enough player base to support so many servers.

Even with the new servers, the novelty soon wheres off and all you have left is a whole lot of empty servers and no action

New servers should only be created if the existing ones are so crowded they cannot support demand as was the case ten years ago.

If the servers were merged, there would be more people to pk and go to war with...which really is the reason most people choose to play this game. Take away pk and war and you have have nothing left that entices players. There is no reason to level characters, no reason to buy PUS items, no reason to merch.

This is the sad state affairs of the game atm.
