On PS3 Release: New servers for new characters only.

[_C-a-e-r-i-t-h_]

this gam,e does not work well with all new servers. The Economy really blows without higher level crafters than battlers. If they make new servers it would be in thier best interest to offer server moves. so they can balance the new players with the old.

A brand new economy may start off to a rocky start while the crafters establish the gear market, assuming nothing else changes between now and PS3 release. That would be a temporary problem.

Introducing billions and billions of gil all at once would permanently ruin the economy.

I'd rather take the "how it should have happened" server.

I don't know though... when I was coming up, we got to the late 30's and yet no one was able to make gear over low 30's.... And that was when it took FOREVER to grind a battle class...
Now you can get a battle class to 50 in a month... I just can't see a crafter starting from square one without a full market ward being able to get to levels where they can support the high level battle classes...
When I first started, if I had hit 50 in less than a month, I'd be wearing a Bronze Haubergeon at R50
thats just for me though... I do agree new players should have the right to choose new or old server... IF and only IF there are enough new players to warrant opening a new server

Yes, crafting should definitely be streamlined if it's going to continue to be so absolutely integral to the game. I'm sure S-E is going to fix crafting before the re-launch, but even if they don't, would you rather get to 50 wearing a bronze haubergeon because nobody made anything better yet or get to 50 wearing copper chainmail because bronze haubergeons are 5 million gil and you only have 600k total from 50 levels of grinding and leves?

True... and like I said earlier.. I do have fond memories of My entire LS wearing Sheepskin Subligars.... and when we got our first Haubergeons.... good times....
They will have to open up more servers if the PS3 numbers hit 1 mill.... And I don't see them having server transfers by then
