Definitely a hard job to tackle and keep everyone happy. Especially when it's no fault of your own…interesting to see how they handle it.
IDEA: How about the server you start with is the 'Unique title' you get when creating a character. When a server mergers, you get to keep your original server title to reflect your roleplay history. Example: Character Name, Realm of [server name]
Hmm… What if, for about a 2-4 week time after the server merge… Freshly reconstructed node Zones of Influence give "weak server" players a 1 hour window of opportunity to build their plots before the big server players. If a node's ZOI grows and can house more plots, then new players get 1-hour priority *exclusively in the expanded area*, not in the previous ZOI. It's not ideal, the weaker server will still lose their homes, but if they have a repackaging feature to save the home and all that's in it, they can at least plop it down and have multiple chances to resettle before it's a FFA like it always was. Heck maybe it's even beneficial if it means you can relocate from a swamp to a magical forest.
Oh and for character names, if a person has the same name on the big server then the big server should get priority UNLESS that specific character has not been used for over a month. The small server character can then click a button on the character select screen to submit a ticket to maybe take ownership of the name, and if that other character does not log in for a whole month then it will be the big server character that needs to be renamed, if they ever log back in.
I think this is "no solution" solution. Because this Is a exact way how servers are merged normally.
My suggestion for intrepid. Come launch cap servers at whatever pop they believe the servers can handle. For this example we'll just call the server A. Once server A reaches cap roll out another server and call it server A2. If possible have nodes on server A2 level up based on the actions of server A instead of its own. Once the launch rush ends allow players from server A2 to transfer to server A. This would allow players to eventually play with their friends on server A without having to reroll Once the server cap is lifted.
As for server transfers down the road I think they should hold a node war event. If your guild was in control of a metropolis on the weaker server you get the right to fight a metropolis on the new server for control. If your guild wins your citizens get property rights, if you fail the property rights stay as they currently are. Same should apply all the way down the node list
We can only assume there will be fair compensation for a freehold or house and materials in storage. I can understand the resoning behind not moving over with rare or legendary items but the player will need help in starting over on a new server with nothing.
"punishment" not the best word choice
bruh… 30min queue? 1h queue ? I WAITED 12H for New World!!!!!
