Not a merge, but open migration

[Demon6324236]

When i say "all" I don't mean it literally, only the people that matter.

I guess people only matter when they agree with you?

[Kriegsgott]

Why not just merge all remaining servers into one?

very bad idea no thanks!

On the other hand, if you were to say free server changes for everyone so that if we want to we can move over to another server in order to try finding more people to play with, without the 25 dollar fee or whatever, that I would be perfectly fine with.

That's what I'm talking about, just removal of the fee, and maybe *one* english only server and *one* japanese only server.

You can't with a straight face tell me you aren't sick of the "jp only" mentality.

I guess people only matter when they agree with you?

Not even close, most of the people I play with DON'T matter. You only matter if you have "this" and "that". If you're a noob with 1 99 and no E/M/R I couldn't possibly care less what your opinion is, and you "don't matter". Like this guy http://www.ffxiah.com/player/Asura/Slaxx (presumably).

Oh so for your opinion to matter you must have certain things, got ya, and still disagree with that mentality.

So far as having any English or JP only servers, no, I am annoyed by people who are like that, but I am sure they are equally annoyed by the fact they are forcibly surrounded by English players. Since I think they are shitty human beings who do not deserve the comfort of their own server, they should stay around me, their shitty attitude doesn't really effect me unless they enforce it, which most cant even if they want to, but I am sure that just by being there, I annoy them, and that gives me a sense of happiness, knowing that just because I'm there, I am ruining an assholes day somewhere, somehow.

I don't really see how this would hurt anyone. If it were voluntary, people who don't play during xyz time would just not move to a server where everyone plays during xyz time.

[Trisscar]

very bad idea no thanks!

Any particular reason you say that?

[Anjou]

Because Triss, merging literally every single server together creates an overcrowd (Shocking but true) people will be complaining that their nm's are being overcamped, people will rage quit because no can get anything done due to this congestion. If you say maybe merge them into 3-4 servers then that I can see, but you'll still have people butthurt over 'omg I've been on this server forevers, I can't stomach the thought of moving' so how are you going to survive when XI is gone completely? Be thankful we can still play this game.

Personally I'm against the idea of a huge server movement, too many people would stay rooted on their home turf and the people who do move go into ghost towns, and eventually quit.

linkshells are at fault to. i found this out greatly when i played wow. some people only play with their linkshells and noone else. you guys are separating yourselves from the rest of the community so the players are at fault to.

[Slaxx]

Hilarious. That link shows my last 10 AH transactions. Yep, must be a noob since I never registered an account on FFXIAH. Couldn't possibly have leveled more than one job to 99. Couldn't just be selling the random crap from the Mog Garden because I've not played much the last month or so. That link literally shows nothing whatsoever about my character at all, you're making a lot of assumptions based on nothing.

By the way - I don't really give a shit, both of our opinions on this subject are irrelevant. I see the likelihood of your proposal going anywhere as pretty much nil, that doesn't change the fact that I think it's a terrible idea.

[Xantavia]

They only thing I see this doing is certain people abusing the AH across servers, spending all day playing the market and world hopping to make a buck.
