I can't support a server merge atm.

Partly because things are stable, most content doesn't require more then 6 people anyway, easily fillable by 500+ people. Merging would cause a lot of instability, not just with prices but the player base, as has been said over and over in other merge threads, it can cause frustration and even players leaving during a merge, because of name loss, item loss, or even AH prices going into flux. It would also cause prices to plummet from alex, and dyna coins as well as cramp those events (dynamis specifically). Also, more players, greater server load, and slow down things that are already sluggish, esp the AH, and loading inventory.

If this was back in the day during event linkshells being required and large 30+ man content being the sole means of advancement, I would agree with a merger, but that's not how things are today. Now more or less, 6 people can do about anything in the game. So 500 people is a much more manageable number.
