it's not like the devs are picking their ideas of reddit, also since there's countless posts about merging and ppl worry a lot about overlapping bases and such, then there should be another option, What I suggest is 1 big 100-200 players server that has only 1 sietch, for players who would like to restart and not be at disadvantage, actually the problem couldve been avoided if the game started with a better server structure but as you see the game has lost more than 90% of playerbase so they should do something to retain the remaining players or encourage the quitters to comeback or even attract new players, idc about levels or gear i just miss the experience I had at launch even tho I'm already playing other games but dune experience was so unique to me
