I have a couple of questions about the merge and then a few suggestions for the 'new' server:
Will we retain everything on our chars? I am curious about the oly gear (shirt, jewels), the olympiad tokens, the knight epaulettes, the AtoDs, the opened atods - contracts and pages and all quest items as a matter of fact. Also I want to know if we will keep our gear enchants, augmentations on weapons, enchants on skills. Hero status is also a bit unclear to me (I understand the x20 server will keep its heroes?).
Now for some suggestions:
I do agreed that drop rate of tomes in Hellbound should be increased (not 5/10x like in Imperial Tomb but still a decent 2x or 3x).
Would also like to see alternative methods by which we could farm elemental crystals. At the moment we can only farm them with the caravan and I am not a big fan of that (especially since it is very random). Maybe even a modified version of the event would do. Let's say at every town you can choose your reward (something like 60% chance to get 1 crystal that you want). That would be good for me.
As far as the rates go I couldn't care less. But since we are basically 'invading' another server I think we (x10 population) should have less say in it (let the people in the x20 server vote if they want to keep x20 or not).
Hope you will take into account my remarks.
Yours truly,
Vigoss, GH extraordinaire
