Yes it would have been way better if SE made a poll and controlled it them selves, but they did not, so this is the best I can do.

I don't see why you find it so important to nit-pick on the how and that might not right with the poll, whats you point? or better yet what are you trying to achieve?

His point is that the data is skewed and completely not accurate at all, completely redundant in otherwords?

I am having a big headache to try to choose the server, because there is other player with the same character name.

There is a way to know if the server you are going to enter will be the same as other player with same name?
We will be noticed if other player in other server will go to the one we wish?
I want to talk about this with that player but I'm unable to do that, hope this issue is taken in mind.

I want to choose the server with my friends, but also I want to keep my identity without have to change my character name.

Number two is better IMO.

Most people should feel better after number 2 is released.

Awesome news. Thank you Yoshida for the info, and Bayohne for the translation. I'm happy to see the community's feedback really being taken into account on this matter.

Honestly, I would have been fine with either option as they wouldn't affect me anyways. But I would still vote for 2 because it seems the fairest for everyone else, especially those with multiple Linkshells. Only thing that still bothers me is hidden names, but if you still choose to keep them hidden I'll get over it.

Only suggestion I'd make is give us entirely new server names. You can still follow past FF towns, just give us new ones. This way it may be easier for people to feel like one entire community instead of World A playing on World B's server.

#Bastok or #Tavnazia

I'm down with Twitter hashing.

Hopefully they will change to option 2. Good to hear that you guys are taking this seriously...because the option 4 could potential damage the game community in an irreversible way. But by just hearing you guys are looking foward to change to option 2 is already a relief! ^^

I really think the current plan could be better. Why does everyone have to blindly choose a new server? Why can't the low population servers be merged into larger population servers, with an opportunity for anyone who wants to to pick a new world? Example: Low-pop server A merges into High-pop server B, and are renamed Server 1. When those players log in, they are presented with and option to "Choose to merge into Server 1. (previously server A and B) or choose Server's 2-10. This is the best of both worlds imo.

Not really, maybe those who had zero contact with friends and lsmates outside of the game, sure.

That's what option 2 is.
