BG server merge ?HELP

Hi everyone . So here's the problem . Bulgarian servers (old version) are barely holding on as far as active players go . 30/40 active per server is what we got and i'm being generous . More and more people are quitting and anyone that i spoke to in recent months (most of them are totems by now) had no motivation to continue because of the lack of players . Best case scenario you can complete a mission(once in a while) that requires attacks against enemy faction . There is nobody to attack , and nobody ever attacks you . Your hunting range is empty as f$%# There was a thread in the bulgarian forums about an year ago about this problem and the answer we got was "yes we are aware of the problem , server-merge is on the to do list..'' Since then several new servers have been opened.. aaand that's it . So the resources to merge servers are there:/ . Has anyone else had to deal with desert servers ? What can we do to get what we want . Literally every single player of each of the old-version servers wants to be able to play with/against more players . Do we have to reach someone on top of the ladder (support) and if so how ?
