"Please add more instances I can't do any content anymore!"
"omg it's so laggy"
Then they realise that a merge does not fix their issue because, again nobody wants the crap they are shouting for so now they have the negatives of an overpopulated server & the original issue.

At the end of the day, you can complain about it as much as you want (although I'm not sure I buy you actually care about FFXI at all given your name and post history) but it's pretty obvious what side of the fence Square is on since they ignore all these threads.
Didn't say no one joined my "crappy shouts" just only during prime time really, which I can't always play during. Don't see how new content is considered crappy shouts anyway. My name? I don't care about this game because my name? Your IQ must not be very high lol that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. Don't know if your trolling or being serious but please say trolling. . . Sorry I'm trying to make a post for Dev response to something many many other people would like the answer to as well. Quitting a game over name loss is pretty childish and we could do without them. Adding more instances is common sense. It's 2014 there isn't any server side lag unless they use AoL.
