Merging worlds in HBD is horrendous, or was for me. I enjoy going back and looking at records, history, past players, all of that is gone when the world merges and the primary problem (worlds cant start until its 100% full, and werent/arent filling fast at all...imagine waiting a month for the next season to start) isnt a problem here.
But yeah Id be in for a new world so long as it was 2x/day
Agree on conf realignment, just announce 2-3 seasons ahead of time and people have appropriate heads up to make whatever changes are needed/desired.
