On PS3 Release: New servers for new characters only.

[Trocien]

those of us who worked hard and put up with FFXIV all this time - to be inconvenienced?

#1, there will still be beginners who join your server, so you can still show off your leet anvil-banging skills.

#2, Square-Enix inconvenienced hundreds of thousands of us by making a game that requires hard work instead of fun play - essentially tricking us into spending an extra 50-80 dollars more than we would have had we known that FFXIV wasn't going to be anywhere near satisfactory.
