Can we have a server merger after fee take place ?

It was expected. It's not a good or bad news IMO...just something fated to happen.

I liked it though. Minimum population is a must when you want a party-oriented game. Also, this means there will be free servers waiting for Tanaka when he's done with FFXI in march! ^^

But if they wante 1500-2000 players per server we might get like 3-in-one merges...because even the 3 big ones might not be beating 600 ppl at peaks.

in fact I dont think ppl at Besaid or Lindblum can have that service merger as the 2 server population is decent, but I can be wrong

if they are mixing with a small server (which there are plenty with embarrassingly low prime time #s) then i cant see why not. If hes looking for over 1k during prime hours per server, then i can see half of the servers being merged for sure.

I'm happy about this in the short term, low population servers are a bad thing. But I worry about 2 things. The first is server merges can look bad, like the game is dying, which I suppose until 2.0 it probably will be. The second is when 2.0 hits are they going to add new servers again and they will all just be full of new people?

Perhaps in 2.0 the severs will be able to hold 4K people at a time? I just don't want all us old timers on 5 severs and all the new guys on 5 different servers.

To me it just seems like all the people on the LOW populated servers will have the option to move to a HIGH populated server.

So if you are already on one of the high one, you aint going nowhere XD

I think my Besaid character is on a high one, hope not but think it will as I'd like to move it to Istory (or wherever Istory goes)

Oh well, will have to see how it goes. If they trying to reduce servers then they wont let total freedom as it defeats the purpose.

It sound to me like some server is getting removed, so those population can migrate into new server, While there will be one server getting labelled as "EU main server" too.

so it is remove and migrate instead of a normal merging.
