I am reminded of a poster that was on the wall in one of my high school classrooms.
It had two goats, one on either side of the picture, with an obvious chasm between them.
The caption read, of one of the goats talking to the other ...
"I am not a male chauvanist. Now you jump the gap so we can be together."
In an ideal world, there would be "unity" in the CoX community in that we would all be playing on the same server (hosted by Paragon Studios) and no one else would have their own.
Strangely enough, we don't seem to be living in said "ideal world" for some reason or another.
Remember, what you're advocating for is something akin to "all other servers just need to surrender and transfer their players to MY SERVER and that will be best for everyone involved!"
And while that
may be true when seen from an outsider's perspective, as soon as to you bring the personalities and agendas of the individuals involved into the equation, the wishful thinking needed for this to happen becomes BEYOND OBVIOUS.
In other words, take your message over to Homecoming and tell the dev team over there they ought to shut down and just migrate all of their Players over to Rebirth ... and see how far you'll get with that line of argument.
Spoiler Alert ... they'll ban you for speaking truths they don't want to hear.
Remember, taking the stance of "everyone else surrender to ME so we can all win together!" rarely works out well, even if you have good intentions from the start.
And that's not even counting the fact that even if such an outcome were achieved, there would no doubt soon be factions splintering off to start their own servers ... so ... back to square one, I guess?
Piling the entire CoX community into a single server sounds like a great idea, until reality inevitably intrudes.
