Merge the pve and pvp servers and let players choose which mode they want to play in when they enter a zone.

You can not prove that this will be the case. I am pretty sure they might even GAIN subscribers by such a move, if done right. Or they would, if they added proper payment options again
As already posted months ago, this will only be as you say, if they simply merge and scrap one ruleset (in this case i fully agree).
This should be no issue, if you let players choose the type of zone as the poster before you wrote. Fearing that global will be spammed by pvp trolls is not a good reason to oppose it, as well as fearing no more pvp in the pvp zones is not a proven argument either (why then are the "pvp" zones on fury empty?).
The only valid reasons against a merge are
- admitting that funcom is not going to fix or invest in aoc pvp and has no confidence in the expansion and capacities of their own main workhorse game
- more lag and capacitiy problem
Problem 1 can be solved by a simple change of attitude of funcoms management -> more players, more money (also for the other games again)
Problem 2 can be solved as well by admitting success and at least considering to expand servers again. Maybe move a lego or tsw server or resources to aoc purpose for a change?

There are very strong feelings of hate from that server. See Anzu for example.
As for op. This discussion has been beaten to death many many times. It is just not realistic as far as funcoms current capabilities. Simply put they lack the manpower and the resources. You simply have to choose. On crom you can pve to your hearts content and play pvp in minigames and cimmerian end. On fury you can pvp in all zones though usually it depends on what the daily zone is. But you will find pve lacking.
Minigame population is roughly the same on both servers. You'll encounter less tier 5 pve geared players on fury who can one shot you from what I gather.
To put it bluntly if you desire a mix of pve/pvp play on crom. If you desire pvp only and have a thick skin play on fury.
As for a merge forget it. It's just not going to happen.
You're better off quitting and playing something else.

On topic now (also sorry for slightly changing the quote above) , kill the last pvpers and you've also killed AoC for good . When a minority gets wiped , the majority stops being the majority , ends up being the whole , where pluralism dies.
For the ones who dont get it , we're on the same boat pvers and pvpers.

merging would not change the game for pvp'rs, would just allow people to switch at will between pvp and pve
keep the same rulesets for pvp and pve, just allow people to choose which ruleset they go by when they enter a zone
how is that so hard to understand, more players on one server
same rulesets, same activity, just maybe more on the pvp side if peeps didn't have to role a toon for pvp specifically
just trying to help you pvp nimrods out, personally im too friendly to give a crap about pvp, I like helping (and sorry for that)
for what its not worth - Vixcen
more likelihood of people jumping in to choose pvp ruleset on entry of zone, meaning more people for you pvp Edit by Anzu: Players.[/QUOTE]
to gank, how could you not want that? - lol
