And I already said these servers are going away and being replaced by a whole new server infrastructure.

---wasn't directed at you, but the posters above who started to talk about sub fees. Don't want the thread to go there. ---

I know the servers are being changed in a year, but what about the time inbetween. We have 18 servers up right now. Myabe world populations will be fine. If they are low and that creates a environment in which it becoem increasingly difficult to play
drought in raw materials = increase in prices which drive up crafting prices
Fewer crafters doing their thing which creates a huge demand of thier skills which drive up prices.
More difficult time getting people together for Soulbind grinds, or EXP PTs.
ect ect.

It's going to take some time to see the results, immediately we'll see a flux in player base, and then an increase over time. I want to know if they have a plan.

If transferign server data all together is impossible with the way SE set it up, then thats that.

But if they mean settign up voluntary transfers (transfer service) is too difficult but they can do a forced merge that might be for the better.

With the given and sir names I don't think too many people will have to pick a new name, Unless you're one of the "Clouds"
