Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

[Diavolo]

Are there plans for another server merge anytime in the foreseeable future? I would see this as the biggest "quality of life" adjustment at the moment considering how barren some servers have become even at their peak times (300-400 players).

I actually don't mind the population on the servers at the moment.
For me, it makes no difference. People will lock you out of parties unless you have muchas experience or are top i119 geared already (lol Idris ONLY Geos for example). If not, you're expected to work on it somehow by yourself.

Considering how many people have moved to Asura over the past year and how often others speak of doing the same, those sharing your opinion will quickly find themselves in a shrinking minority. More active servers open up possibilities for everyone; more shouts for pick-up groups, more items in bazaars and on the AH, more linkshells looking for new recruits, more competition among the "merc" groups, and so on and so forth. Even if you happen to be the type of player that likes to keep to him/herself, a more populated server is still offering you a better overall experience than one that looks like a ghost town.

You could add up the active population currently online on all 16 servers as of this moment and it would still be lower than the active population on just one server this time a decade ago. It's time we had another merge, one that fixes the disparity between the NA/UE population and Japanese population present on some servers today, so we aren't looking at servers that look practically dead half of the day.

Wow, Square removed my post, so much for speaking the truth eh fellas?

Square *thinks* their ideas for the (next thing they add, in this case R/M/E upgrades) is SO GOOD, that EVERYONE will rush to do it, causing the whole 400 +2000 trusts (server population 2400) to cause congestion.

With that logic, you will NEVER get another server merge.

I read your post before it was deleted. You may not have had the best attitude, but there was no reason for it to be deleted. What's the deal, mods?

Except in the old days, people were various levels and scattered around numerous areas. These days its a level 99's game, and most players are all in the same (4?) areas. It would be so cluttered, especially with trusts too. Anyone with a slower PC would be bogged down in lag.

Negative attitude is actually against the rules. Many perfectly good posters on the forum have been affected by it. They really should lighten up a bit. As long as the criticism is fair and not laced with profanity, I don't think it should be removed. Even the strongest community isn't going to be 100% positive every second of every day. Honest feedback is the best feedback!

Please increase BST range. I understand you want the Beastmaster to fight alongside your pet (which I'm doing), but this is a joke. I died numerous times to mobs because I was unable to reward my pet, despite fighting the same mob. I was fighting AAEV and had to literately climb up his back to reward my pet.. Constant "Out of range" messages resulting in death. Doesn't make sense.

While you're right, BST is broken, SE doesn't want to admit they destroyed the playability of the job so as a BST main I can only say its time to forget BST and play something else.

It's so broken that I always see them everywhere and tons of them online. Something doesnt add up lol
