It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I have had two people hyped to play the game, but then say "no" when they find out I'm on a now perma-locked server. They don't want to play on a server seperated from the friend group. I fully understand why servers are locked (you should have seen the rush for the pineapple hair) and I'm not saying they shouldn't be locked, but it is still saddening.

And no - I'm not transfering off. I would only transfer off if my EB partner and best friend linkshell transfers off. And they will only transfer off if their friends will transfer off. And their friends will only transfer off if THEIR friends will transfer off. So on and so forth into oblivion... and the surrounding areas. For this reason, I do not think the mega servers like Gilgamesh and Balmung are going to be unlocked in the next couple of years. It's the sad truth, but it had to be done before the servers literally catch on fire and burn down everything.
