Na Servers..

There was a same situation at EU too. When Killian PVP server was kinda of deserted.

Many posts at forums for months, to merge Killian (even with Mystel PVE, as a desperate last action).

The merge finally took place and Killian PVP was merged with Mystel PVE.

When Merging was announced, we had the following disagreement:

**** Mystel players said: We are the vast majority here. The new server must be purely PVE.

Killian players said: At least give us Velika Outskirts for PVPing. Nobody goes there afterall,

Then we had a new mini-riot, because the new server was exclusively PVE and had no OWPVP at all. Not even VO area for PVP. It was like Killian server never existed.

As a solution, players recommended, that channel 1 could be PVP and the rest channels PVE (or vice versa). But this was never implemented.

Situation is complicated, and all actions have to be performed wisely. In the end, some people will be disappointed.

Isn't Kaia the last PVP server in the world for TERA?

give it a chance its only been open a few days , theres bugger all on the MP in the pve server too atm

also dg instance partys cross server , like they were with enmasse idk

other wise pvp be dead for ever as said above merge will loss as the pve server wont put up with it

Being a pvp player for years I know how bad is for having no any owpvp spot, that's are the fun of the game, being killed and being a killer and all results into a big words at the area chat, but that's the best fun part of the game, idk what the point of killing the same bosses and doing the same mech are funny.... But that's my point of view... Pvers prob have the same opinion when they think what's the fun of wasting time on some salty owpvp as well...

Once owpvp ended for under lv 65 a great part of game just died, that's gonna be same if our last place of owpvp gets down tbh... The actual VO is still safe zone for idk the reason... After GF migration.

I'm play on both servers Velika and kaiator for CUv and pvp, I'll like a merge but I still want my fun spot, and even pvers at Velika missed the gvgs

Is so much work for making a single spot a owpvp ?

Do not merge "Velik" and "Kaia."

There needs to be some hope left for the PvP community on TERA.

OW PvP needs to return, and maybe as a compromise to the current system, a +/- 6 level limit to PKing others should be implemented. This maintains the purpose of infamy (killing outside of 5 levels), but gives the PvP players the desire to compete at all levels. The game may be short on players currently but re-implementing OW PvP will be seen as a positive change.

When TERA NA first launched, it was the PvP servers that were known to be more populated. It is because people wanted a skill based MMO for PvP. TERA still has all of the mechanics, and chipping away at functionality over the years has been extremely damaging to the community as a whole.

At this point NA is in dire need of a merge. That being said Gameforge shouldn't shaft the PVP community. The community should have zones &/or channels for PvP.

The servers have only been up for 5 days. Migration lasts until December 18th. Give it some time.

I can already tell you they're not planning any drastic changes (or even minor changes) until after the migration period ends, as a support ticket inquiry of mine required some changes and they said it wouldn't be possible due to their internal solutions until post-migration.

So give it a month, and if Kaia is still dead, then you can ask for a merge, however the migration has only just started. Give people a month to re-populate the servers first.

PvP is dead idk what you people expect. there will be no return to form or open world PvP other than the drama and salt baths that occur. proxy ruined anything remotely entertaining the idea of interesting PvP. there will be no open world raid vs raid of 30+ folks or more going out to kill one another those days are almost entirely gone. I would love a return to open world PvP But In reality that situation will never exist again unless a patch or something happens where PvP is rewarded and actually viable. on top of that there just isn't any incentive for it anyymore. in a world where everyone cheats does anyone even care anymore if there's someone whose good at their class? I feel the PvP scene has been tainted by so many people who were considered to be "skilled." using Proxy what point is there in being skilled or investing time into learning PvP if you're competing in a world of cheaters? the idea that drives PvP is competition, Skill, team coordination. In a game where If I can be good because I just abuse proxy or I just cheat, I have a auto aim bot that locks skills onto things for me to heal people, I have a script that sees what skill is being cast server side and it detects it and it just automatically dodges for me, or I have a macro that autoblocks or cancels super fast and does everything for me. What is the point of competing against other players?

back in the old days PvP was a means of claiming a right to level, a right to resources a right to gear up and become stronger. Survival of the fittest if you will. The open world was meant to be explored and quested through. fast forward to now and tell me what purpose does the open world in Tera really serve now? other than the card farming spots on occasion what does it do? you don't fight for resources anymore, you don't need to fight to level, the only time a fight breaks out now is when there's drama someone says someone else sucks and they want to prove it and prove they're better. but when that person whose fighting claiming they're better is running proxy and the other guys running proxy. who cares? on top of that fact lets forget about cheating. When there are skills and abilities that can just straight up one shot or one combo a person with a huge freakingAoE ability that covers the entirety of a battlefield. when the Time to kill is that fast where its either A you dodge and survive or B you get hit and your character just gets obliterated immediately it really doesn't appeal to most players interested in competitive or competition.

at this point NO merge as its the ones that want pvp , but as you said dont shaft the pvp'ers just the pve'ers

why break up the pve world for pvp thats having problems ?

if its dead now merging wont help anything the servers have just reopened give it some time before pronouncing its dead and suggesting give us pve'ers to go kill

and if you say this isnt what we are saying then you dont need the merge

coz so far its going "theres no pvp on the pvp server so merge us so we get pvp"

Quote from shaymichaeli2242

i dont complain about pvp,i complain about pve.. cant find end game dungeons groups.. , few items on broker , so i cant really play.. Kaiator is dead.. we really need a merge

then transfer to the pve server

dont take pvp to the pve server !

but as i said the migration has just happened and it will take time for the MP to restock

and i dare say out of every one that migrated i bet all aint back playing yet so that will take time as well

also as i said as for DGs n such

Quote from Wodahs

give it a chance its only been open a few days , theres bugger all on the MP in the pve server too atm

also dg instance partys cross server , like they were with enmasse idk

other wise pvp be dead for ever as said above merge will loss as the pve server wont put up with it

so it wont matter what server your on if your having trouble finding an instance atm as there cross server

so in affect merging will either kill pvp like it did in the EU servers

or itll p!ss of the pve'ers having pvp on the server pve'ers have to be on , which may lead to them not playing hence you again have a dead server and then what as there wont be any more mergers

oh and you might like to see and read who i was quoting before quoting me as if i had replied to you saying your not complaining about pvp

i had answered you further back

You can't expect PvP and PvE to get along regardless of the "options" you put in the wild. As in Tera, there are MANY other reasons why Kaia server should remain isolated (Including a mass of exploiters. Economy there is simply a result of all that).

Also, be aware that character transfer always been a good income for Tera. A server die, who remain transfer many characters and so on, you cannot really expect them to give up on such incomes. What's great for non-p2w with Gameforge is that character transfer can be traded in-game, so to everybody who been holding their creditcard now can move with a few gold without hurting publisher's income.

Also, Gameforge doesn't know current NA servers ETA, that being said they prefered keeping it as it was to have plenty of time to see what's going on, how it goes and hopefully, implant some extra stuff to NA (because it's different).

Personally, I would vote against any merge for economy sake and for PvP VS PvE sake.

I would rather not have a merge at the time being. Most of you have never seen a dead server from the looks of things. Lake of Tears and Valley of Titans, now those WERE dead servers before getting merged to form Fey Forest server. There is more than enough players on Kaia to support PVP, but it is KRAFTON/BLUEHOLE Studios fault for making pvp in a sorry state as it is. When you make 95% of the world safe zones including Highwatch, of course pvp will be dead, not to mention you can't even begin pvp until 65. Whoever thought of that at BHS should have been fired on the spot. There is more online now after the transfer, then there was for many months prior.

TLDR: Leave the servers alone.

Honestly, do what you can so that pvpers aren't completely disenfranchised, (kind of a monumental task when Bluehole disenfranchises pvpers basically every other patch); I don't care personally. But I can tell you, from the pve side of things, that a merge between Kaia and Velik servers is 100% necessary and should have happened on day 1 of Gameforge taking over.

Kaia server has been inactive since release and getting worse at that, and I hear Velik isn't doing much better. If you're on Kaia server, good luck finding parties for most 5 man content, let alone Harrowhold (HH) LOL. I know HH is going away soon, and it's a damn shame that Gameforge wasted the opportunity to give us a more lively experience with the raid by providing us one decently populated server rather than two dying ones. Please learn from your mistake, and merge the servers already!

please consider a merge, with how low NA's population is there is no reason to have 2 separate servers anymore

please consider a merge, with how low NA's population is there is no reason to have 2 separate servers anymore

agreed! a lot of people are leaving Kaia server, the tradebroker is empty, and there is almost never any LFG's on Kaia. Highwatch is almost always dead and empty compared to Velik. Please consider it

Agreed, no point of having to struggle in low population server!

Please merge servers, the population of NA is way too low for this game to have more than one server. This will help aide NA’s economy with more supplies on the broker (yes, there is a lack). This will also help aide the LFG problem which KT faces everyday due to lack of players.

The pvp solution is simple as it is located in battlegrounds and cuv, which players can freely que if they really wish to pvp, and for gvg simply make it a mutual agreement.
