I have no idea how old that list of world potentials is but...... Fairbanks has less than 500 and not 4000 + as claimed ... and the other worlds all are now around 10% of those figures

more like less than 700 as of today.... Even Colorado has less than 2k active possibles.
Out of all those left on older worlds how many do you think play on a few or more others ? id say its about 30% of any world are on at least one other.. maybe 20% on 3 or more and probably 5% on more than half of all .net worlds ? i dont think thats an unreasonable guess n partly based on the worlds im currently active on.
And how many of those are on Vacation ? about 10 - 20% of a world depending... again most of these accounts will be also on other worlds.
So thought experiment... how will a few worlds with less than 500 on each if they come together with 20% less ( cos at present only one toon a world ) and id imagine another 10% in purged toons when closed help much at all overall ?
So say 5 old worlds were to be merged forcing the destination to be just one option or even to multi choices.... - 10% purgings .. -20% regular players unable to migrate due to other toons in destination worlds and forced maybe to go where they dont wish ... leading to more of a players toons being dumped... ( i know id dump a few rather than compromise another destination toon..
How will that increase activity a lot make inno more $$ in any run long or short ? I dont see where the benefit comes in re revenue .... i do see without new blood its only likely to hasten the demise not improve anything much at all apart from a few bored where they are and gain a few months in no doubt the same towns with the same people they move with etc etc forgetting how dire its got overall as a game n player base numbers.
Migration is an issue yes but also a distraction from a much much bigger elephant in the room imo....
If the Q about migration is a serious one... first ask where is the new blood coming from rather than the same old players ... has anyone bothered to look at the state of even Vegas with less active on it than Colorado... Yknow the world LV thats barely 4mths old and already has probs in FF numbers ? the place is dead to the point of some sectors only ever had 1 or 2 towns from day one ... it should have been named Twilight because thats what it feels like to me atm.
