I think the main question / the only question is, What does the 5x bring to the table?
I'm all for a jump in numbers but realistically, what will merging the x5 bring besides a massive influx of items? The items aren't a big deal, price drop on things that are gonna be useless when h5 drops anyways. But the epics should be a legitimate concern.
I don't know the x5 havn't ever played there, but is there even clans there? Active ones? Consolidating the two servers is really a nobrainer and ofcourse it WILL happen, but the pro's and con's just don't add up. IF merging the 5x will bring more activity in general then I think its a great idea. But I don't really see it happening, the activity is gonna raise once h5 hits, not when the servers merge.
