Totemia x Burudeng Server Merge

Totemia x Burudeng Server Merge

[silver sorrel]

We're already getting a Totemia x Genese merge, better wait to see how things turn out after that

[patent widget]

Merging Totemia with Burudeng just does not work in the current state.

• Burudeng has nearly as many players as Totemia -> A Merge is just not needed
• Many Players on Burudeng can't understand any English -> A merge would not work

[ashen knot]

It’s fine to be scared of getting clapped.

Merge would work as items have been translated to German. If you have a player base who transfers with or without then that player base will still remain

Your argument is not an argument.

Tote is dead. So based on that logic your server is worse.

[stiff hinge]

I wouldn't say Totemia is dead at all. Not in anyway that matters at least. Buru and Tote could be merged but it's not absolutely necessary, not like Genese which is an actual ghost town.

[patent widget]

Actually Burudeng is pretty active. I thought Totemia was as well.
"Getting clapped"? You mean PvP? Which is completely irrelevant for 99% of the players?
I never played PvP content other than a few rounds of Kalgas. The overwhelming majority does not care about PvP. Flyff is and never was a PvP game. As long as it is based on real money, premium items, unbalanced classes, unequal gear and so on PvP will never play a role here for most of the players. Do you realize how pathetic it is to even write something like "It’s fine to be scared of getting clapped" in an unbalanced Pay2Win game?
PvP Players maybe want a merge for more competition, but PvE players really don't want a merge.

There is a translation of the game, yes. But the communication with the Totemia player base would not really be possible. It would create multiple completely separated groups of players living in their own bubbles. Which is a bad thing.
It would also result in many German players quitting the game.

Merge tote and buru so I can kill @late grail more

[late grail]

Ill hunt you

so just for arguments sake. How do you explain fwc? Most of them write in symbols nobody can understand and that works little along a multitude of languages so yeah.

Zip it please.

[stark jackal]

you say pvp is completely irrelevant for 99% of the players
that means pvp is relevant for 1 player out of 100
last siege totemia had a full lineup for eminence, endgame, astral, move, euphoria, and I think like 10 from hollows, so around 85 people sieging
for every one sieger i.e. a player who finds pvp relevant there are 99 people for which pvp is completely irrelevant, so 8415 players
do you really think totemia has 8.5k active players?

[signal vigil]

merge lawolf with totem

[keen cradle]

"scared of getting clapped" LULS it ain't that serious bruh

[rain frost]

You can only speak for yourself then. The language "barrier" hasn't been a problem on FWC either. Thats just a bad argument. Also many german players are already on Totemia. If you dont care about pvp at least dont take the fun from the players who enjoy it and let them merge. There should have been bigger servers for EU/NA/SEA anyway instead of many smaller servers since the game itself doesnt reach playercounts like WoW and other MMOs. The Genese merge is happening too late if we are getting merges when servers already completely died why should we keep playing? Coz FWC is happening anyway and many take the opportunity to switch to another server.

[ashen knot]

With FWC happening and main servers starved, it would be better to have all EU as one, yes it would be busy come back to FWC ending but that would be fun, more people doing things, more content etc Based on Shabs math skills, we have 8.5k active players on tote, wonder what your servers population is

[patent widget]

I don't think that you are in contact with any players outside of your bubble then. I met several players who tried playing on FWC and stopped 1-2 weeks in because of the language barrier. Most of the people who cannot understand English from Burudeng just do not even start playing on FWC. Noone is taking out the "fun" from PvP. PvP is not really part of the game anways. What you want is not a server merge but a possibility for server-crossing PvP. A server merge would just hurt the player base

[stark jackal]

"pvp is not really part of the game"
come on now. you can't seriously be saying this when pvp is the main sales driver? sure, the game's pvp is not very complex but ultimately the people who top up the most are those who minmax their gear for pvp
remove siege from the game and it will literally turn unprofitable
besides, totemia as a european server has people from all around europe, and specifically french and german people and guilds who will happily accept them. see for yourself #🔍totemia-guilds
those non english speakers don't have to quit playing because of language barriers. they just have to find people who speak their language and there are plenty. those people who quit fwc due to language barriers should've played with others who speak their language from the get go and they wouldn't have quit because of that. nor will people from genese because they are all moving together so the french dude who played with his french group can just continue doing so without needing to communicate with others if he doesn't want to

[patent widget]

For me it looks like you are never in contact with any casual players or with players outside of your bubble. It does not work like that.....

[stark jackal]

I mean of course it doesn't work like that for everyone but I don't see why people can't adapt?
I'm not a native english speaker myself and some 20 years ago when mmos were still relatively new the language barrier did not deter me.
I don't see why a server labeled "english" should deter others especially when it's a european server which is basically guaranteed to have players from all around europe.
if someone is too much of a casual player that playing with people who speak different languages is an issue that overshadows the enjoyment of playing the game itself, especially when it is guaranteed that there's a community that speaks their native language, maybe the game is not for them and language barrier is just one reason out of many others, or even an excuse

[patent widget]

All i know by talking to a lot of differnt groups of players is that there will be a "quit-wave" of a lot of players if such a merge would occur

[ashen knot]

We do all the time

[visual moss]

Merge all servers, then delete the game when it dies

[gloomy flare]

PvP is the only thing in this game, there is no hard PvE Content in this game, nothing challenging, nothing where improving your gear beyond the normal scope would do anything.
You running dungeons to improve your gear to run the same dungeons faster, for nothing
once you reach the minimum gear you are done with all the content this game has

[patent vine]

not to be rude or something... i introduce my self shortly
so i played on both server Totemia and Burudeng. on Totemia i played with the guild abyss. we also played on Lawolf in the early accesses era. =) Good time, if you ask me :)

this is my personal opinion
As i know some of the people who play on both server, i think mixing those people together r ends in an disaster. The German and UK playerbase are maybe similar in strenght but its not just UK and Germany who plays on Totemia tho. There are many english speaking people on Totemia that arent from those 2 countrys. i really prefer beeing seperated. and also why just merge those 2 servers? why not make an complete european server afterall? Its probably just people from Germany who wants thier items on Totemia tho.

So do what you gotta do guys but please think about your actions twice 🙏

[stiff hinge]

Totemia is not an UK server though. Not meant to be either. It's just a gnereal European server with English as language. But everyone from other European countries doesn't get a server for themselves. So Totemia is essentially already what you're describing minus that Germany has it's own special server.

[latent epoch]

Merge might be fun, but both totemia and buru are pretty healthy population wise, so I don't see them merging them

[visual edge]

FWC is the problem for dead servers. GALA messed up with Flyff again. Well, of course they did.

[plain hound]

The game needs exactly one server per region with several localized channels instead.

[clear totem]

the game needs directors who have already actually played the game

[visual edge]

this is what i thought they will do because its so normal nowadays in other games

[rigid ibex]

I volunteer
