The 12 Mordred players left will probably hate me for saying this. But I liked the idea Mythic had earlier of making PvP battlegrounds on Gaheris, moving Mordred players there, and getting rid of the PvP server.

About the gear issue, okay, then transfer chars naked but at least with, for example, some stacks of aurulite or diamond seals or sth like that which you could start going around and kill or look for better equiptment, the seals or aurus could be directly in your inv when you copy the char or a NPC give it to us i dont know  or maybe allow chars who have done their epic armor quest go with their epic armors. Im just saying some ideas
as someone says i doubt mordred steal too many ppl from ywain, maybe first days, week... personally i would play mordred just sometimes while i play in ywain too maybe some ppl whould do that mabe others would make mordred their main server donno.

This is the basic conundrum we face when contemplating Mordred's future. The answer is not a simple "just transfer the remaining characters" due to inconsistencies between the two rulesets.
We are currently considering allowing direct copies of characters from Ywain to Mordred, however we are not going to make any decision that will negatively impact the health and play experience of Ywain.
Wouldn't this actually help yawain though as opposed to hurting it?
I am sure for the first 2 weeks ywain will have a steep pop decline and mordred a huge population boost yet as we have seen, mordred isn't a stable server for most. People would go back to ywain more than likely and use mordred more as an escape than their main server.
I don't think this is even a little likely. Not that many people wanted to play on Mordred when DAoC was in its heyday.
I think that the economics probably favor just shutting it down.

Ywain would see a very small drop for a week or so,mythic would get 3 things,IMO...
Bunch of resubs,some interesting publicity and a outlet for many players!!

If the worry is that it will cannibalize Ywain through character copies (which I really doubt given how most of the PvP ruleset's flaws that lead to its population decline still exist, people will also want to continue playing with their friends in RvR, and you will actually increase the overall number of subscriptions through Mordred players resubbing), then we've already been over this before and decided to plan a PvP Battleground on Gaheris to consolidate Mordred's population on to Gaheris instead.

I wouldn't play a bg on gaheris if they paid for my sub.I rather them leave mordred alone before that happens.Plus u risk screwing with/losing da care bears.
Char copy's to mordred wont cannibalize ywain as ur char stays on ywain and only a copy of ur char moves to mordred.
Char copy to mordred or nothing,thats just my opinion...

Tbh there are 2 problems I see with the Gaheris BG idea. First of all, RPs will be much more easily attainable through PvE. Half the fun on Mordred is getting rewarded for all your hard work in PvP. Yes the PvP is also fun, but not quite the same when everyone can get a lot of RPs very easily just through PvE and then take their RR 11's into a BG. Actually I dunno how hard it is to get RPs on Gaheris never really played there, but surely you can rack them up very quickly right?
And the other problem is obvious so I won't mention it.
Please allow charcopy to Mordred.

A pbae/block/buff trio with relatively low end gear can farm ~100 seals/hour or 53100 rps/hour(assuming all rp buffs active). Which means all 3 of them could be at RR11 in 46.5 hours /play time. For a person who plays 3h/d, that's ~15 days. For RR10 it would only take 11 days /play time for all 3.
