Just like the title says. From what im reading in posts it seems like all these people who will "miss" signing up of server change day don't even know its coming. I was always under the impression that half the people here doesn't play yet they know the server change is coming. I think most people and their friends will get to coordinate with each other.
So ppl who are not playing dont check the forums?

Uh, the information is located on:
http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html
Which most people check lol, so anyone who keeps up with FFXIV knows the merge/transfer is coming and what to do, they also know if they're not playing or went inactive they won't get to pick, so that way they can coordinate through their respective means of communication even if they can't use the forums. -

No devilzpawn. They will not be able to coordinate with each other. Have you not read the many posts with large text and colours and bolding clearly telling you that the community will be shattered upon the rocks at the foot of the cliff of despair by Square Enix (a.k.a The Dark Army of Sadness), whose sole purpose in life is to isolate people from their groups of friends and ensure they lead a solitary existence, friendless and waiting for death.

It's announced like 2 months before the deadline. If you don't even check Lodestone, forums, or any XIV related website between now and the merge (remember that 1.21 is coming), then yeah you'll miss out the merger, but you will probably don't care either...
Any former player who still have a small interest in XIV will check out what's going on when 1.21 will be out. -

Elexia I think you over estimate how many people check The lodestone.
SE would be better off sending out an email. -
02-10-2012, 03:56 AMAngryNixonThis is a very good idea actually. SE should consider sending everyone with an "active" (ie. paying) account a heads up.Quote:

Yeah right, email saying what ?
Hello we are merging worlds. If you want to pick your new world, please pay us, or otherwise you won't be able to pick it and you'll be assigned to a random world. /sarcasm
Sounds more like blackmailing that informing players to me. And it will be harder for SE to make it sounds differently because at the end of the day, it's either pay us $9.99, either you get assigned to a random world. (hey you could be one of the ~10% winners who will end up on the world they wanted!)
Edit for above: if you are a paying customer, you probably log on in-game. We will get most likely spammed with message of the day / system message to warn us... -

Has it been confirmed that you can't choose a server if you aren't subscribing ?
How are they doing this anyway ? through the character screen in game or via the SE account page ?
Edit:- Meh nevermind I just reread the lodestone post. -

I have a linkshell with 120 friends who haven't played since beta. I don't have any of their contact information. If I don't get to play with all 120 of my linkshell members who I haven't spoken to with since the beta because I have no way of contacting them, I will quit. YOU CANNOT REPLICATE THE KIND OF FRIENDSHIP I HAVE WITH MY 120 NON ACTIVE FFXIV FRIENDS! THE SERVER MERGE WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WITH LINKSHELLS! YOSHIDA HATES LINKSHELL PEOPLE!

He's spot on though. People who are inactive and unsubbed are pretty far down on the totem pole in terms of people who should get world merge design considerations. -

Most people I play with, aren't on the forums, don't check the lodestone, and barely try to open a wiki. So people not on the forums might not know unless you tell them, that's our job I guess.
And you guys know that Murugan who started the Yoshi P hates linkshells thread, is in A VERY ACTIVE linkshell, not a dead one right?
A lot of the linkshell leaders I see complaining are in active linkshells, hell I know a ls with 120 active members, its ridiculous to think people are lamenting over the loss of only non active friends, its also being in general just an ass. -

My LS leader did a /random. Done, we have a new server.
As for the whole "people won't notice, SE hates my mom"; why would SE do something if the web is already doing it?
