Merge with our server ClashWars.

Some of you might know me from my previous server FantasyWar but most of you don't and that's fine.
Basically I have hosted a couple servers before for about 3 years now and I'm currently creating a server named ClashWars.
Tim always played on FantasyWar and always wanted to try and help and then decided to start EmpireWar because he wanted to do more then just helping a little on FantasyWar.
I have helped him a little telling the basics and gave some tips etc and we have always helped each other where needed.

I heard some people say that ClashWars need EmpireWar and this is of course true I'm not going to lie about that.
But I heard Tim was planning to do some more smaller events from Only_God and this made me thinking...
Why not work together with Tim and see if we can merge the servers to one big server.
So I started talking with Tim and he was really excited about it and so was I because it was something new for both of us.

And then you're probably wondering why does EmpireWar needs ClashWars.
I don't know all the reasons of course because I'm not Tim and he can probably explain that better.
But the main reasons are probably to be part of a big community and to work together with someone that has as much experience as him.

And then I hear you thinking.. "Big community?? ClashWars doesn't even exist yet.."
The thing is I know what I'm doing and I have a lot experience to know what most people in the community like and what not.
I have worked out a lot awesome stuff that makes CW special and unique compared to all other event servers.
From everyone that has joined and played some games they were all amazed and loved it, and they wanted to kept playing and playing.
Tim probably sees the same as I do and I think CW will become extremely big and we will do everything to make this happen.

And for you as EmpireWar player there wont even be that much changes.
Like we decided to keep the donation system separated.
This means that everyone donated to EmpireWar will just keep their donations.
And you can just keep using the same IP if you wish.
The only big difference is gonna be that people can join the LOTR Siege event from the CW lobby.
Tim has also said he wanted to keep working on LOTR Siege the most.
This means I wont do that much with siege and Tim will have all control over it still.
However Tim will be able to do anything he want with the ClashWars server like adding events and stuff like that.
So basically the only big difference is that LOTR Siege will be part of the ClashWars network, and that Tim can add/change/remove events on the network aswell.

If there is anything I missed here that you would like to know then I will answer it below.
And if you disagree with this merge that's fine but I would say wait till everything has happened and then you can complain and do whatever you want.
Because now nobody knows exactly what the impact will be and you will see that it wont be as bad as you might think.
 
Now, I don't think I fully understand what the hell's happening here, but is what your saying everything on siege will be moved onto this different server, although everything will be kept the same, it's just like you can choose between doing lotr siege or whatever happens on Clash Wars? If so that sounds ok, but wouldn't that mean our Empire War Community would be sorta destroyed? Like wouldn't there be a whole group of people from Empire War and then this whole group of people from Clash Wars all too scared to talk to eachother? I've probably completely misunderstood what you said, but that is how I've interpreted it :)
 
Only_God didn't get any ideas from you. ClashWars was being worked on for like 4 months already.
 
Benjamin, our servers will remain seperate. But, as worst stated, the only really big difference is the fact that you will be able to join Empirewar from the Clashwars lobby. From this we can only benefit, both EW as CW. Why? CW gets a bunch of interested EW people to play on their server, and we'll get a bunch of interested CW players to play on our server.
 
but wouldn't that mean our Empire War Community would be sorta destroyed? Like wouldn't there be a whole group of people from Empire War and then this whole group of people from Clash Wars all too scared to talk to eachother? I
Im more worried about all the EW players hardly joining siege any more, and tim focusing on other stuff. ( glad he said he was gonna keep workin on siege )
 
What he means is, you can use the same ip, and go straight to Siege, but, other players from the ClashWars server's Hub, can walk in a portal and join Siege.
 
You'll be able to join Siege using lotr.clashwars.com, (or siege.clashwars.com, not decided yet). You'll be able to join the ClashWars hub to all ClashWars servers using play.clashwars.com or mc.clashwars.com. In the hub server there are portals to all games; arcade, spleef, KoH, race, siege, etc. In the other servers there'll also be portals back to the hubs.

Will you keep lotr.empirewar.org as many people are using it?

''And for the site don't worry about it as I said this site will remain and when you click on siege it will go to here and in the future it might be integrated in our site and we will fully move to our site but once again this depends on the community.'' -worstboy32


Maybe that will help (:?

Whooops.
 
This is mostly true: Siege will become a minigame within ClashWars. Technically making us either bigger or smaller, depends how you view it.
 
smaller. worse. Infection detected! What if CW get hacked?! Were ******. Anyways, if you realized you'd never had to do this if you use the money you get to ADVERTISE! MAAUHAHAAAHAHHA. Well, you probably do, just pointing it out.... It's really annoying because every server has a chance to be biggest. How come you are so sure Clashwars will be a success??? There's so many hubs now, and they've taken the majority of 'Hub People'. Hive etc etc.

I mean no offence. My apologies if so.
 
EmpireWar has the same chance to get hacked as ClashWars does. And this is like 0.00000001% chance. :p
And as explained before it's not about growing a bigger community that we merge.
We can do that fine without merging as you said by advertising etc etc.
I have known Tim for about 2 years and we can both trust each other and we both wanted to do this.
 
Well, for the time we'd still have lotr.empirewar.org. I wouldn't see why not.
 
We won't use lotr.empirewar.org anymore after the merge?!
Hat about the 90% of the players who don't look at the forums.
They will think that this server is gone and they stop playing :|
 
I must say I agree with mark. It´ll be more effecient to keep using our own IP. I wouldn´t like to see the name 'Empirewar' go either :/
