Is there a way we could set up a server-specific sub-forum on here? Maybe just one and people can start their own server-specific threads in it?
I am considering switching to a new upcoming server, even though mine is still fairly new. I was wondering if anyone from here would be playing on one of the new ones too, maybe I could join up with them? I haven't decided quite yet- I've put a lot of time and a bit of money into my main account, but there are a few issues that have come up and have made the experience pretty unenjoyable for me. I thought maybe a fresh start could be good, but I don't know.
Hmmmm, what do you guys think?

It sounds like a good idea to me. You could also start a thread with server name as topic and keep it active? What troubles are you having on your current server,, maybe we can help?

To make server specific sub forums would be too much, that means for each of the currently 198 servers there would be a forum, this would take a very long time to make and not everyone from each forum would come here so it's kind of a waste in my opinion. I feel the same as you mahlani and I have decided that when server 205 comes out I will go there and start fresh, if you would like to join me there send me a message on here,

Thanks Brainiac, I'll let you know if I switch over. Long story short, we just have a player on our server who has always been a mile ahead of everyone else, and he's a bully. I was in his alliance for awhile, which became the strongest. At first they pressured other strong players to join and dominated the server together. It's only like 4 months old, and it's seriously dying. Entire alliances have switched servers because of it. Nobody even shows up to the IC fights anymore, because why bother. Nobody even tries to do the wild events for their alliances, so why bother...? Well the guy decided that to fix this, he was going to rage-quit, then changed his mind and said he was going to disband the alliance (the one we've been pouring resources and gold into for 3.5 months), and then said, nahhh, he was going to boot 90% of the members. Then said he was going to boot many of the strong players and have them move to someone else's alliance, which fell through, so there was a backup one, which also fell through. I finally stood up to him in all of this, and was kicked from the alliance (I would have left after the piece of my mind I gave to him about it all anyway) and decided to build up the alt alliance I'd been working on. Some of the other strong players on the server wanted to bring balance back into the game and make it fun again, so I gave them the alt alliance to use.... well then everyone started receiving threats from the "Boss" who didn't want them playing with me. He didn't care if they made their own from scratch and had to start all over, but had a problem because I was associated with it at all. Now I'm in another alliance, his rival actually, and besides the nonstop bullying on WC and trying to rally the mobs and threaten everyone, several of us are working together to help lower players build up their teams, so we can bring some life back to this server. Lots of drama, basically. But ultimately it kind of sucks, because so many people have worked together to create something... and he chose to handle it so poorly, like nobody mattered but him and what he wanted. Still, he's fighting to dominate everything, which is absolutely killing participation on our server, even moreso now that his rivals (who are a great group of people actually) are going to challenge for IC this week. It just kind of sucked all the fun out of it. If this doesn't work, I'll start prepping for 205 with you Brainiac. I'm hopeful that it won't come to that. I've invested too much time and money into this character to just drop it without a good try at least. Thanks for letting me vent. One of my allies is on this forum as well, actually, and he's hopeful we'll be able to revive the server and bring some fun back to it. I've learned a lot here!

Oh for the forums, I was thinking a sub forum labeled "Server Chat" or something like that, similar to how you have the language-specific sub-foums. Then we can create threads within it for our own individual servers. Does that make sense?

I have invested a lot more time then you have playing my main server 80 which I was the rank #1 Alliance but the merger killed our server. It brought all these big spending players who make it impossible to win anything like what you said. And on top of being #1 for nearly two years now we are #5 and have no chance in hell of reclaiming our spot, my members who were the strongest in the server are now the weakest and many of them have quit. The original #1 prestige player named Cena who was always #1 is now #12 and he quit recently, the whole thing is falling apart and I spent a lot of time and a little bit of money on that server and it seems like a big waste now. As far as what you said about server chats I can do that, I'll make it now

Hard to resurrect a bullied server...
But as for chats, we just started a server based line messenger group. You can have as many people there as you want, or don't want, you know?

Yes great advice Tru! We have a Line chat for our alliance, and I also chat with some other players on there too. But I thought a thread if people want to connect, talk about events, or whatever... might be a nice addition. Thanks for making it, Brainiac! We'll just have to make sure it doesn't turn into a crazy version of WC, but it should be okay.

We have one alliance on our server that holds the top 12 or so players. ic won't be changing hands anytime soon. In fact, their top 3 players could comfortably defend it on their own, they are that much stronger then everyone else (who hasn't joined them). I'm hoping a server merge will be the answer. I'm not trying to be the top player on the leader boards, I too would just like to see some balance brought back into the game. I bet lots of servers have this same problem. It's up to the higher ranked players to balance things, but for some reason they don't.. they must like ruling the server and having no competition, bizarre. I think changing to a new server, the same thing could easily happen again.
