Why are you merging servers that weren't released consecutively? Won't it be unfair?
This concern might be valid with very new servers but servers tend to equalize within a few months of opening. Server age is not a major factor governing spending habits or advancement of players on established servers.
Why was my server skipped?
We carefully analyze the activity rate on each server before deciding if it should be merged. We also listen to input from players about whether their server should be merged. The chances are your server is active and is not in need of a merger. However, it may be merged in the future.
