Forgetting people, I see.
Anyway for me, it's safe to say "do not want". We're fine, I began maple in Windia in '06, quit for a couple years due to punishments, restarted in Scania in '08. I left Scania after 2 weeks due to just this. Over-population. I went to Kradia because it was small and now Nexon thinks we're too small....
I aint against a merger per se, but it is unfair to those that moved to smaller servers to avoid the fuckfest that is Windia and above in terms of sheer numbers. Khaini was on the brink of being crowded but now I see less people about in general.
Locked Wrote:Maybe it'd be a slap in your face for wasting 25k NX for no reason. Not that I want Windia or Scania to be touched in any way or form.
The joke from Kalovale is that a lot of Windians escaped to Galicia to avoid the Windian drama. But yeah, there's little need to touch Scania through Khaini. Those servers have enough problems of their own regarding population.
You guys are predicting nonsense.
Scania-Bellocan (+Mardia) will probably never be merged with themselves or an emptier server because they already ahve substantial populations. Merging would only result in overcrowding (like Scania, only worse).
The past created servers (Arcania, Zentih, El Nido) will also probably not be merged either since they had larger populations than that of Kradia, Yellonde, and Demethos, which all had double exp events when they were created, but Arcania, Zentih,and El Nido did not and so attracted people more naturally. The servers being merged are basically empty places, Yellonde being the desert-town. The only possible future merge I can see is Demethos and Arcania or Zenith.

-Hime- Wrote:Greeting Maplers,
As previously mentioned in the latest dev blog, Make Room, Make Room!, were introducing a new server alliance initiative whereby players from two servers will share one world to play in together. But before you pull out the pitchforks and torches, please know that weve given an incredible amount of consideration to ensure players from both Kradia and Yellonde have as comfortable an experience as possible. Read the details:
You will still log into both Kradia and Yellonde from the server select screen. Neither server is going away.
Once you log in, you will interact with players from both servers so that there will be more people to party up with.
Server channels are being expanded to 20 on each server to accommodate the expansion, so theres plenty of room to train by yourself as well.
Players on the new server alliance will have double the character slots (can create characters on both Kradia and Yellonde).
We strongly hope that these changes will allow players to participate in bigger community activities, but at the same time, allow plenty of room for those who wish to play the game by themselves. We know players have lots of questions, so below are some responses that we wrote based on comments to the dev blog. Well also continue to read your insights and try to answer as many as we can here.
Server Alliance FAQ
Q: Why are you doing this server alliance?
A: Weve got some servers with too many people, and some with not enough. This is the first step in our efforts to balance the populations so players on all servers can enjoy MapleStory as a massively multiplayer online game!
Q: How did you choose Kradia and Yellonde to form the first server alliance?
A: We chose Kradia and Yellonde because they have similar populations and economies, and so the impact should be minimal for the players involved.
Q: Im on Kradia/Yellonde. Whats going to happen to me in an alliance?
A: Not much. As a player on the alliance worlds, you will do everything you typically do to play. Your server remains the same, but what changes is youll be seeing a lot more new faces in the game.
Q: When will the alliance happen?
A: The alliance will happen during a server maintenance and it will be announced during the server maintenance notice.
If you have any additional questions regarding the Kradia-Yellonde server alliance we will be happy to answer them on the Nexon forums.
KinqStarfire:
do u know if Bera will b in an allaince?
There are no open plans at the moment for an alliance with Bera.
kerblasterz:
Since our char slots technically double, will the Blessing of the Fairy skill in Kradia still reach all the way to Yellonde?
No, blessing of the fairy cannot be shared across the two worlds. Character information still remains separate on both worlds.
ChaosC57:
Could you give us any hints towards what's going to happen to Scania?
The huge population in Scania is a different issue.
alltwo741:
Do they share storage?
Not between the two worlds.
iananderson2:
When you say "Players on the new server alliance will have double the character slots (can create characters on both Kradia and Yellonde)." Does that mean we have double what we currently in our main server? (Kradia in my instance). Right now I have 7 character slots thanks to the additional ones given when new classes came out, so I would have 14 after the alliance?
No, character slots on your main server, Kradia, will not double, but since Kradia and Yellonde will be forming an alliance, you can make characters on Yellonde, which will share the same playing field as Kradia (and vice versa).
andy56duky:
is it possible to merge scania with a very low population servers like the new servers u just released just recently
Scania is a very populated server. There are currently no plans to have a server alliance for Scania.
Kevin539:
I humbly request that Kradia ally with Demethos instead of Yellonde.
It's been decided Kradia and Yellonde will partake in the first alliance. It is because the two worlds share much more similarities than Demethos. (Sorry!)
akimi91:
What will happen in terms guilds. For example, in Kradia there is a guild called "Apples" and then there is another guild in Yellonde also named "Apples", would there be 2 guilds with the same name? or would one be deleted/renamed?
The guild who used the name first will return the guild name and the guild who used the name second will have their guild name changed. We will first change the second guild with the name to our preferences but we will take tickets to change the name to what you prefer given the name is available.
Cujo00:
Hime, do you have any information on how this has affected the storage system and the shared cash shop inventories for Explorers?
Kradia and Yellonde still remain separate despite sharing one Maple World so from what I know, storage nor cash shop between the worlds would be shared.
iDunKnow:
Hey Hime don't leave just yet, I have a question to ask you. Okay, so what if some of the say lvl 200 or 15x were moved into the 3 new worlds? Because in my opinion Nexon wasn't thinking when they made the 3 new servers.
Currently, you cannot transfer to and from the 3 newest worlds - Zenith, El Nido, and Arcania.
reyon321:
So, does the rankings stay the same or what? just curious.
This "alliance" is very interesting. I think they are doing it this way so that later they can easily split them apart again. They offer a few good advantages to encourage people to migrate there for a small world: 20 channels, low population so lots of training areas, the alliance provies for better bossing abilities, and now you can use character slots from both worlds. But when they fill up Nexon can then split them apart easily again (since they never merged). Then you have people who have characters on two different playing areas so nexon can make money on world transfers to the world people really wanted.
I bet you can make the same guild name in each world (so that while the alliance is in place you can have each guild twice).
. anyway im happy to have more southperriens to play maple with since the only 1 i dont have in my alliance is 0^2 if thats the right name =P. (at least that i know thats in kradia)
