Server combine?

As far as I am aware the three instances of the matrix already exist on the same piece of hardware. When I log atm both Vector and Recursion frequently show 'Low' as the server load and I strongly suspect Syntax's medium showing is often by a whisker. I do not therefore believe a full server merge is beyond the technical abilities of the network set up, nor do I think the resulting population is the limiting factor in terms of lag (since we get that in certain deserted area's as routine).

Hmmm... did one of the devs say that?  I always figured there was at least one machine per instance, with maybe more per "region server".  They may share the same box, but I would consider each motherboard/CPU a separate machine.  In any case, I'm not against a merge, but I'd prefer to stick with three servers.  If the QA server is any indication (we sure could use that for the downtown lag problem about now), SOE would just send any leftover hardware to another game, and that would just *CENSORED* me off.  I'm territorial with that stuff.

i use anti's, but we only have 2 people i can think of who use health pills. basically for the same reason most of us dont use hyper jump. it seems like the fighting on recursion and syntax is very, very different.

problem i have with health pills is the fact that people macro them and have constant a health supply which is basically like being your own personal trauma surgeon, which really isnt how they were intended to be used. and you dont have to farm them, you can craft them fairly quickly.
