Granted most of those people will be only for the nite... but still... do you want that nite to be unplayable?

Why do it on that patch night? Do it after.. and I really doubt you'll see 150k lol. The auto attack is only on 126k and is multi-region including those who stopped playing, or dont play at all. The producer letters only have 86k views combining JP/NA, which also includes peeps who dont play.

I was able to play on release just fine which had hundreds of thousands.

I'd love to see 7500 people online per server lol I'm in one of most populated ones must be over 10k online at a time!!!!

Why do we need to merge? Lindblum is only a 2 chocobo world and it's so packed anywhere near Ul'dah that doing anything like a behest is almost pointless to try.

SERVERS DEFINETLY NEED A MERGER!!!!! ASAP!!!!!!!! WOULD ONLY BENEFIT THE GAME AND IN NO WAY WUDD IT HURT IT.... (no explanation needed, if u disagree u have smoked urself retarded)

Spoken like a true sage.

Can't see a need on this. If someone wants a high-populated server, it'll just take a 3 Chocobos server and viceversa. I need Azury for this to tell me how much having a server up costs to evaluate =)

For some reason I can't take this seriously.

Also no, it wouldn't help the game it's counterproductive in the long run.

Yeah I thought this is the reaction I'd see, not that it's a bad thing. It's good to know that people are not calling their servers barren wastelands anymore at least.

I never meant for it to be a permanent merger and to even allow characters the chance to pick a server when the PS3 launch arrives. But if people think the servers are good as is, then so be it. I don't really think not being able to get into a behest is a good reason to not merge though...

There are tons of places outside Ul'dah to behest and people should be hitting them up once in a while, perhaps a larger population would force people to spread out a bit.

I was told that the Chocobo's only represent the population at the time that you look at them so they go up and down daily depends how many people are online at that time. It was supposed to help guide you to make sure you had the amount of people online during the time that you would play. So a server with a high JP population would have 3 Chocobo's at JP primetime if you checked during that time but the rest of the day it might drop down to 2 or even 1 Chocobo.

That's because that only place people go anymore. Which is a completely different set of problems.
