Sticking us with the rest of the international community would suck big time. Having our own forum is the best thing that could happen to group of players. I can't imagine being stuck with the Solar, and Rushu and all the other internationals. We are able to have full discussions concerning only our server.

How great is that.

I'm in favour of merging the communities. The UK forums are very quiet, and we'd benefit from sharing information with the international community. Many Shika players aren't from the UK anyway, and many people play on more than one server.

The one caveat I have is - could we have a server-specific area on the international forums? I think we'd lose out if we couldn't have events/guild recruitment, crafter information, etc - and discussion of server specific issues, in a forum secton specific to Shika.

What makes you think Shika would be treated different then say Solar for example. All servers on the international forum are lumped together. If the IT forum had a section for Shika and say Solar that would be great. But as it stands i don't see that happening and it would simply be all 4 servers on one forum. Maybe the reason we do not see so much action on Shika, is simply not much happening event wise for some time now.

We should stay seperate from the other forums, but i do think that we should have all the "extras" that the international forums have

NO, I do not like the idea of merging.

Though I'm not from this community, I do agree that if the UK-folk get fused into the international side, then all four servers should have their own sections for discussion, which would prevent clutter somewhat. Not only would you Shikans be able to keep the whole thing where you can have discussions *just* about your server, but then all of the other international servers would be able to have the same thing. Everyone wins!

Welcome Izmar and best wishes.

If merging the forums means that there will be a Shika forum section on the international board then I am in full support of it. If our posts are just going to be few among hundreds and not to find then I have little interest in it. I can see the usefulness in regards to efficiency. It is a liability more than a bliss for you guys to have to maintain this extra forum. Having said that, I only frequent the forums to actually help others. The time I have spent on the international forum has been low because it takes me more time to find useful information there than checking the wiki ... or Imps. In my opinion, the international forum could do with a bit re-organisation. Essentially, I am not a fan of the relative mess of the international forum but can see that there isn't much use of maintaining this enclave here considering how infrequently it is being used.

I originally voted no, but if we got our own area I wouldn't really mind either way.

Yes!!! Merge please <3

Will make it all that more eaiser to use, imho

As long as there is a "UK Server" Section for general stuff and our own contact a mod maybe section?

This place here can get quite, and i also see most / or the majority use the INT forums anyway

So yuppers, all for it

Whens it gonna happen?

Sheild <3

lol, that would be better in the sense that there would be more posts/ replies. But If thier speaking another language that would just be nonsense to merge it.

We are our own community, just like the french forum is their own community. I would hope this would not be changed because it does feel as if everyone is being compacted into one area which can only be bad. Besides if you have a question and no one here as the answer why not just check in international forum because it would be already asked there... no need ot merge, just visit once in a while, lol

I'd prefer to have things stay as they are. We don't get interference of other servers, most people speak english here, which may not be so on the internationals, and also, why bother changing something that works great already?

Well, i wouldn't prefer going International. Shika's getting taked over by french people then...

Come on people, this forum is ridiculously empty anyway. This is the first time ive looked on this forum for months, an for good reason - there are like three posts a day.

If we want to stir up drama (in true shikan fashion), we can just use imps. Why not merge?

About it inviting french people to shika... no. This is about a forum merging. Shika is one of the smaller servers, and honestly, its just as international as the others. My friends list is mostly europeans, yeah, but i am American, there are plenty of Brazilians, Australians, Canadians, its all over. Ive never though of Shika as being a different community than Rushu, Rosal, and Solar.

i apologize for taking a cynical view on this but if they want it to happen it will regardless of the poll or not. there will never be a server that doesnt have people of other nationalities on it and its something that near impossible to police, so you will always get people speaking other languages on an english server no matter how many times its spammed as a warning in red. also specifically what would having the international opinion over shika events/happenings even matter? i voted to keep the community like it is- even if its empty the community will grow..... or just use imps, haha

well specifically anyone who clicks on the forums button from the dofus home page is automatically confronted with the international forums so therefore these forums dont get any mention at all. if your looking for accessability then its best to merge the 2 forums together although shika is a server built on drama so therefore outside opinion could cause unnecessary flaming just due to not knowing the players.

just curious though- does the anamka team know about imps village and does it realize that that a decent portion of the internation and uk forums use it?
