Servers are fracturing communities

I wish megaservers became the norm. It's an MMORPG, a social game, so it's more than understandable people wish to congregate in active servers - you meet more people, you interact more, you have more opportunities, it's livelier overall and feels more like a world.

It's a pipe dream for XIV at this point however. Guild Wars 2 has a nice compromise via server guesting but here it'd cut into their server transfer profits.

Please don't, it would be an absolute disaster.

For this to works, you need to build your game for it or instance the xxxx out of him. IMO cross real features are a better solution and SE is already working to add more.

Absolutely, the game needs to be created with it in mind from its inception. I'm not advocating this game should get it since it's impossible.
However, XIV is already instanced the xxxx out off to be fair. During Heavensward release the open world zones even had channels you could select so as to lighten server load. The cross server PF was a nice addition and I hope they continue expanding on such features.
