I know that at first, the prospect of this may seem silly.
Why would they do that?
Why wouldn't they do a fresh start instead?
Here are my reasons we need a Third legacy server instead of just the two:
Land. This is the only real reason. In a game where housing is not instanced and new shards cannot be made to guarantee at least 1 plot of land for all, this lack of housing is driving players away. (Me included!) Because of the fact there has been (3, maybe 4?) mergers now, Many of us have spent thousands of gold, along with months of effort to get our land (some of us compounds), just to have it ripped away from us. Many did NOT re-obtain their land. And many that get land, don't get as much, and most do NOT get it in the spots they had hoped for. I lost a LOT of land when my server was merged into what is now Aria. I was left with VERY LITTLE land in a spot I DID NOT like, but took so I would have SOMETHING to farm on.
Many new players cannot pay the 35-40k gold per mansion, or the 12k per 24-28's the land grabbers/barons grabbed and are now charging an insane price for, because of how many people (Alt land holders too) are now on the server hoarding most of the land.
This also prevents progress for many because land is needed to farm mats. Some quests even require books to be placed on ones land and read. You lose out on a LOT of gold having to buy mats from AH instead of farming them with excess labor. Forget about "illegal farming", as farming off of protected land is WAY too risky with the higher population on the server.
Just food for thought.
