Is there any way we can just not do the merge thing?

Well, folks, today is judgement day. Today Caitsith will be torn asunder by Ragnarok and all those memories will be gone with it! I just hope the server Ragnarok isn't very populated, because Caitsith still peaked around 2.5-3k people during prime time. I'm very upset about this merge.

Won't all of the same players still be on the game, just moved to Ragnarok? So technically it'll be the same thing, you'll just be under a new server with new players.
It doesn't sound like a very big deal to me, but I guess it's just the principle, huh

And this is why you store your memories in your head instead of on a server.

OH no, if we had to merge with a server, you're going down too. Muhahahaha

Sorry, there's a shortage of system lag in the Port Jeuno area on all servers. We need to address this shortage and have determined that a merger is the best way to increase lag to acceptable levels. Deal with it!

Thank you,

well now that it's been done, I have to say that nothing has changed, yet a lot is different. Aside from the font change, there are obviously more idiots spamming bs in port jeuno as I anticipated. I haven't given it a proper chance yet, so let's see what happens in the next few weeks.

Alot of that is us enforced Emigrees trying to meet to rebuild our shells. SOME of that will disipate soon.

I have no problem with the concept of server merges. THe name thing is the only part that bugs the hell out of me. IMO, if two characters share the same name the system should "flip a coin" as to which one keeps it rather than force the immigrating pop to change. And if an account hasn't been active in 3 years, they definitely shouldn't keep their name over an active player.

Agreed. A friend of mine from ifrit just joined us on odin and he had to change his name because someone who hasnt played thier account since 2006 already had it so its pretty lame.

This lag is overwhelming. I can't chat, I can't fight, I can't even walk sometimes, unless I corner myself in a small space away from the sheer density of this increased population. My moogle is glad to see me home more often.

While I experience absolutely no lag cause I have a good connection and play on a computer from this decade, there are some rather large issues plaguing Phoenix. Game stops working, Titan vs. Phoenix shouts in PJ, "Paying for FCs is right" vs. "Paying for exp is idiotic" shout fights in PJ (usually between Former Titan people and the people shouting "FC Party 200k/hr leech spot do you need it? 5/18", also some weird gumming in playonline on occassion.

Wonder when the bickering is gonna stop mostly.
