Too many worlds

Maplestory simply has too many worlds

I know Maplestory merged worlds
But i feel like if Maplestory never created all these worlds in the first place, things would be better.
There were 17 worlds (Not including Reboot). Now there are 6 worlds because of the World Merge

I feel that in the past, creating new worlds (Especially when new classes came out), was a bad move.
It made people move to other worlds for unknown reasons, with like 80% leaving and 20% staying there.
As time goes on, people would see their own worlds get smaller and smaller, making them feel Maple is dying (now it is).

I can almost say that people probably left before the World Merge because they felt that Maple was dying. There was simply too many worlds! 17!

Many probably didn't even come back once the World Merge happened.

Now tbh, I don't think there should be 6 normal worlds. Make it more like...1, 2 or 3...
A few of the worlds have such low populations that it's needed.

If that can't be done, at least change the world selection to make it show 7 worlds total (6 Normal. 1 Reboot)

@star909 i meant that your existing charcters will be able to transfer to another server

I think they need to decrease servers amount allow 6 normal servers to be exist- Scania, El nido, Windia, Chaos, Nova and Renegades and reboot as a special server. they should give us an option to choose to which server we want to transfer our characters, and the option to choose which character will go to which server.
another thing i think they should do is to assign major or recommended time zone to each server, that each server will have info screen that shows the major time zone there.
Take me for example, im having a big problem to find crowded fm, because when its 15:00, PST is 5:00, so its a really hard time for me to find crowded fm, or bossing areas.

Yea it's still a bit much in my opinion. Though I did like the idea of starting up in a new world because of the competition and sense of a "new adventure". Maybe it'd be nice if they did events like "temporary" worlds or something that wipe after 30 days or whatever with some tweaks. I think that'd be fun.

The thing with that is that each of the merged worlds is in fact its own world, with its own character slots. I don't remember off the top of my head but I have around 4 characters on Arcania, 5 on Zenith, 6 on El Nido, 3 on Demethos, and 40 on Galicia. That comes out to 58 characters. If they really combined the worlds, what would happen to 18 of my characters? Would they be deleted or would they have to massively expand the max number of character slots to compensate. This is just an example but the problem persists. Obviously they wouldn't just forcibly delete a bunch of characters, so the other option is just giving us a bunch of character slots, which is an advantage for Allied world players.

Alternatively, having the initial screen show "GRAZED, MYBCKN, Windia, Scania, KHROA, Bera" and open up the allied worlds when they're clicked on would, admittedly, make it look nicer but wouldn't really function any better. It would just be another click/button press for people in allied worlds.

It's not a bad idea, it's just that there are more issues with it than you think.

There are basicly 6 worlds, and Reboot.

You know what they gotta do?
Open Scania to be world transferred into.
Then they have to merge the top 3 most populated worlds with the 3 least populated worlds (counting the already merged worlds as one) so that there's only "3" worlds excluding reboot.
