The 7th Umbral is upon us! Twelve help us!

Thread may be obsolete with the new news from Bayohne as of February 10, 2011. 2:15 PM EST.

No spoilers here. Too many topics with the same heading.

Requesting to make unsubbed players not to be distributed, but placed into limbo. Logging on after transfer period, these returning players get a chance to choose their server.

Requesting ALL new names be given to servers instead of carrying over existing ones.

Requesting to make alternative choice of server transfers through account website.

Reasoning: You are on Lindblum. Some shellmates in multiple shells have unsubbed. Lindblum moves to server 2. Server 2 gets renamed to Selbina. Shellmates return and don't see any SE stickies that Lindblum = Selbina. Shellmates join New Lindblum and can't find you there.

This should be offset some with people using the Follow feature on Lodestone and external Linkshell message boards.

I do see some of the Kefka behind SE though. But for the community side, thought I may post this as well.

How many people are currently unsubbed that are going to stay unsubbed for the next month or more?? If they are out for that long, they are probably not coming back. Seems a big change to make just for a super small percentage of players.

EDIT: I am not against the idea of giving the servers new names, I think its a great idea, just think there is probably a better reason to do it. Like simply because choosing 'Server 9' is just dumb.

Level-headed approach, as always. *thumbs up*

The Twelve say no.

But not Nique, Nique loves and respects your OP.
