VSOH - Vanguard Server Merge Q and A
Posted: June 16th, 2007, 10:39 am
The Dev Team responds to your questions:
Q: I didn't see any mention of items or coin left in banks and what’s to come of them?
[Gebron] What’s contained in your character’s bank account is “part of you” and goes where you go. When you transfer to a new server, all your items and money will still be at the same bankers, just as they are now. Since this is a fantasy realm, the bankers don’t even charge a fee!
Q: Any chance of adding server forums?
[Hasium] Brenlo? We are reviewing the current forums and will address this soon.
Q: Not allowing PvE folks the same opportunity to move to a PvP server - Why is this?
[Gebron] PvE players have had a different experience leveling than PvP players. Also, part of PvP character development is your reputation and interaction with other PvPers, both good and bad, and coming in as a “new” high-level character is a bit of a culture shock to the established community on the server. I am confident the PvP community will agree.
Q: Will you be doing a mass mail out to player who does not frequent the boards?
[Hasium] yes.
Q: What is the future health & longevity of a MMO that is reducing its servers
[Hasium] Much better actually. With a healthy population on the servers it becomes much easier to find groups and make friends. Historically, many MMOGs have had server consolidations and gone on to have increased population.
