Come on now, you have had your fun, it will get fixed, just leave it. You are making out that he is some sort of monster.

This one is pretty important announcement/update from YoshiP regarding server merge so going to translate this one before I start work for you guys, pretty sure Bay & Rikku will post translated one for sure.

Producer/Director Yoshida here,

皆さん、多数のポストありがとうございます。
全リージョンの関連するスレッドにも目を通させて頂いています。
今回の件については、コミュニティ全体に対して、非常に大きな動揺を与えてしまい、申し訳なく思っています。
Thank you for many comments/posts.
I have looked through related threads in all region; I apologize for causing a major stir to the community with this issue.

現状、開発/運営チームでは、非常にフィードバックの多い②案を更に調整し、
④案のメリットも生かしたものにできないか、
皆さんのフィードバックを参考にさせて頂きつつ、検討を重ねています。
技術的な確認事項、スケジュールの確認もあるため、恐縮ではありますが、
このまま週末に突入し、週明けまでお時間を頂けると助かります。
We are currently looking into making it possible to go by plan #2 which received many feadbacks and keep the merit from plan number 4. We need to check and verify the technical side and schedule so please give us until beginning of next week.

トピックスについては、一時取り下げも検討しましたが、
仕様が見えなくなると、話し合いの際に、内容齟齬の可能性があるため、
少なくとも週明けまでは、このままとさせていただきます。
We thought of bringing down the topic on the topics section but if we take it down when people talk about this there might be issue where wrong information is given so we would like to keep it at least till beginning of next week.

繰り返しにはなりますが、現段階で非常に大きな懸念の声を挙げられている方が、
多数いらっしゃる中で、ワールド統合を強行するつもりはありませんので、
その点は重ねてご理解頂けますよう、宜しくお願い致します。
This is repeating what was mentioned before but at current timing there are few saying we are forcing this server merge but please understand that we are not.

Regarding server merge - have it where they give us info on how many people are planned on going into each server.

はい、その予定でしたし、数時間おきに各ワールド希望者の人数は更新してお知らせする仕組みを開発中でした。 これは案②を選択したとしても、同様にするつもりです。
Yes this was already planned, we were developing a function where we announce how many players were requesting for each world every few hours. Even if plan 2 was used we were planning to do this.

---

There is some user posts after also asking for devs to make it so they can also display how many players are in the servers from each region as well - no response on this one yet though.

You mean like everyone did to Tanaka?

I should translate this piece of info also.

I'll stick it in the above post later. Making a new one for now so you guys know there is one more translation.

The servers that are staying should be able to keep their communities intact, with those that want to join friends elsewhere still have that option.

Looking everywhere, you can see in general each region wants to keep their community as intact as possible.

And in the process keeping decent number servers untouched, people cried about unbalance, now they'll actually get it.
