Not merging old servers is a strategic business decision. Technically, people have spent real money on those servers and shutting down those servers would likely result in large chargebacks as individuals are denied access to legitimate goods and services they purchased in good faith.

Thus, instead, it is easier to allow those servers to languish, so the existing player base will simply die off due to boredom. Not a week passes where a player or two announces they are quitting.

Soon, there will only be two players left, each running 500 bots to control their feeder alts.

Then, after one of them quits (or gets banned after being reported by the other), that'll leave the single player... who will likewise quit because nobody else is there.

At that point, when there are no players left, Evony can shut down the server.

The whole purpose of rolling out new servers is to draw the player base off older servers, and thus facilitate their shutdown faster by reducing the player population even more.


It's all about making money, so remember, everything that happens is all about some form of positive financial impact on the business.

(not that there's anything wrong with making money in of itself, mind you...)
