2. 📈 Level Distribution Status and the High Barrier of Level 100
· The current total population is approximately 348,000, with the largest concentration of players in the 70-79 level range.
· From level 90 onwards, the population sharply decreases, with only 1,248 users having surpassed level 100.
· The prevailing opinion is that the growth pain is severe due to the excessive experience required compared to what is gained, leading players to utilize speed hunting coupons, elite summon points, and party quests to power level.
· It seems that an experience gain reduction or a burning event is needed.

3. 🌐 Server Population Imbalance and News of a Large-Scale Server Merge
· Currently, Server 1 has the largest population, and users from Server 80 onwards, released after the full refund incident, are recording higher combat power.
· Lower-tier servers have a very small user base, around 2,000 players, indicating a severe population imbalance.
· A server merge is scheduled to proceed with the March 19th update, integrating servers three at a time in order from the beginning.
· Even after the merge, Server 1 is expected to overwhelmingly maintain its top position, with Server 26 projected to be second with approximately 12,000 players.
· The population gap between the 1st and 2nd place servers remains significant, which is speculated to be due to a large number of inactive or departed users from the initial Server 1 being included in the data.
· We hope this merge will revitalize lower-tier servers and breathe new life into guild content and communities.
