Hmm, in my server I'm #2 in terms of power (41k), #3 is 10k power behind. Our #1 ranked power player is a few hundred over me. Originally there were 4 really strong players, but now theres a big gap between #1, 2 to #3 and the rest. Honestly I don't mind it, because I like being in a high ranking and being one of the strongest in general. :p

Server merges might make me have to commit more into pouring some money into power because depending on which server we merge with, I may have to constantly upgrade power to stay in the top ranking unlike now where I can take it slowly.

I'm sure they'll try to make server merges as equal as possible so that doesn't happen. It wouldn't be quite fair to match a weaker server to a stronger one.
