I won't be original and change much from what everything was said in other regions, about how such a change is affecting drastically our game.

You tell us about a GvG revamp, but it won't come until MONTHS.
We ask you for solutions on farming, on drops and loot penalties, on the current crowded maps, but there is none to be seen until MONTHS either.
And now you just wish to kill the game once and for all.

Farming will be worse than ever. With always the same people on the same Comodo maps (and soon the new very little maps for new mats for new Ancient Equipments ...). Other places are empty because they're just not worth it at all ! So we'll just be all trampling on each others in KS land.
GvG wise, the regular, semi casual guilds won't make it to WoC, leading players to either quit the game (again) or leave for bigger guilds, killing effectively most of the guild communities.

From the other servers, SEA cut to a third, Global cut to almost a quarter, we might not expect more than 6 or 7 channels left on EU. That's way too little to effectively "enjoy" the game. You want to "enhance our gameplay" but you will just kill it until GvG revamp which might not even be worth it. You want to "improve our players interactions" we'll just have more angry teens insulting in private messages about stealing MVPs or KSing mobs ... Everything done by that is "for the best" and surprisingly leads "to the worst".

Enough said, you guys are simple tonedeafs toward your player base. Don't listen to us and keep killing the game.

The previous time your reduce the number of channel it's reduce drastically the population of the server in a few month. The same change will done the same result.
In addition we have already too much people on efficient farming map.
Reducing the number of channel will not improve the game in WoE/WoC/MvP or Farming.
But it's will probably upset the player.

we were merged far ago. its madness, comodo maps are occupied 24/7 , new maps are even worse for farming and respawn speed. to update prices for res just stop making those disscounted market permanently. Weak guilds shouldn't even count on obtaining castle one godlike weapons ever? strong players should leave their guilds and join few biggest ones, then who will help with weeklies for newcomers? stop it, pls, really, this time u are killing online in your own game. better fight with bots, not with real players.

I don't agree with the channel merge. It was done in EU once and it caused a lot of negative feedback and resulted in many players quitting.
If you need to limit the number of castles you can just disable the castles on specific channels.
Also just like Link mentioned, there is no information when the GVG revamp will come. At least for China test server there is nothing yet.
Why already close down the channels for something which might come months later?
Moreover as mentioned above there are better ways to do it instead.
Removing the channels is going to have a huge impact to players in game experience and to the whole economy.
In the game there are many maps, however the truly profitable one are always limited to 2 or 3. This unbalance forces all the players to farm on the same map and resulting in overcrowding in those profitable maps, while other maps are basically empty.
Due to the competition players are forced to switch to farming class like SH and GS, and players who don't want to switch would have a huge farming disadvantage against the other players. With the merge of channels this will get worse and some players will get discouraged by this and quit.
At the same time, channel merge also means the number of materials produced will become less. As a small server with low number of players, a lot of materials / cards are already snapping most of the time. Sometimes people need to snap for a few days to get enough materials. On top of that the exchange price is currently heavily monitored / restricted by the system, making things even worse.
Please read the comments and reconsider.

Damages are limited, at least. Feels okay, 14 channels is still decent for the server's population, thanks for not being too harsh on us
