Im only on t8 & everything 2 upgrade & research takes 3-4hours now. Definitely needs server merges as Ive hopped between servers 2 find 1 that's active but they all are pretty empty. Most things are locked behind a paywall. Im bored already cause theres so little to do, kill mermaids, banshee, cursed wanderes, loot merch ship and that's it. Unless u want 2 park a boat on a farm island 4 hours doing nothing but chop wood, mine silver or farm. No pvp since no players, u play mostly solo
