[dev1015] - reopen previously closed worlds to alleviate congestion and competition

[InspectorGadget]

I am currently on Lakshmi so I wasn't part of this year's server merges, but from what Ive seen all they have caused is unnecessary overcrowding and competition on all of the servers and has angered many, many players. Instead of adjusting Abyssea and certain areas as per dev1015, why don't you just reopen the servers you closed and allow players on overpopulated servers(hint: all of them), to transfer there free of charge?

I was slightly worried about the merge but I have to say it's kind of nice being on a server with more than 1000 people logged on at peak time. I tend to work around congestion in Abyss by finding something else to do and even then, it's only really VNM that are a problem.

Isn't this 'congestion' thing is exactly what SE wants you to have? I though congestion is the plan no?

But hey worry not, there are servers much much worse that yours.

I don't think its the servers that are over populated, Abyssea is. Prior to level 80 the population of the game used to be spread across many more zones. People did Dynamis, assault, campaign, Nyzul isle, level sync, Salvage, Limbus etc. this past update is the 1st since the level caps started rising that they have introduced other things to do for endgame (except for WOE, but does that even count?). Whenever a new event is started it normally takes a few weeks/months to either become popular with the server population or fail, so its still too soon to be seeing the new Dyna and Voidwatch to really have an impact on Abyssea.

Remember that as the level cap rises XI is very much a work in progress. Just because we are all in Abyssea does not mean that we will be at 99.
