I think that this is good idea for keeping wars in this server a little more fun, however you might achieve with this update smth u try to prevent - players are gonna leave this server. I mean, seriously who will be still hunting on stage x1? I think that as result u will make this server like 8.6 - players gonna log in only on fights. Anyway this server is almost dead so maybe it wont change anything.
Conclusion: merge with shadow, open new server
