Can we have a server merger after fee take place ?

I already chose when I bought the game. It was to be on a global server.

Actually you had no choice in the matter and still don't.

Unless you mean when you bought the game you understood that the servers were global, I hardly think they are the same thing.

As I said before though there is a whole thread on the JP forum about this and Yoshi-p is no doubt feeling pressured to go this route.

If you have such a big issue with it perhaps you should go over there and spout your nonscene and convince them to play with non JP players.

Why not? If there had been an option I would have chosen the global one, but I knew having played XI that there were global servers.

The fact is I'm on my server, and I have existing social relationships with others on this server. If I am forced to move because Selbina becomes a Japanese server I would absolutely quit the game.

You have the problem here, you don't want to play with Japanese players. The Japanese players on your server should not be forced to leave their server because you don't want to play with them. You should leave if that is the case.

Seriously !! ??

Just as I would have started on an EU server. (but as I said we weren't given a choice)

OMG !! its not that I dont' want to play with Japanese players, its that I want to play with people in my own time zone.

I am happy to leave and go to another server as I have already mentioned, You need to reread what Yoshi-p said obviously as he already stated that they will check the servers to see what the largest player base is to determine what the servers would be.

to put it simply

no one should be forced to leave their server due to it being designated a specific type of server

thats what opening new servers are for

yes we know some people feel that only their opinion matters, but when you take the entire server population into account the only fair thing to do is keep all current servers global, and just merge servers not giving people a choice as to wehter they go to specific ones or not

opening up transfers later to remedy people being on a sevrer they dont want to be on is another story altogether

So if Selbina happens to have a slightly larger Japanese population it is a Japanese server?

No, I don't think so. If Japanese players on Selbina don't want to share a server with Americans or Europeans they should be the ones to leave. I shouldn't be forced off of my server because some people want regional servers.

If you want an EU server, let them start one. You can choose to go to it. Your server however should not suddenly become the EU server and all Japanese/American people on your server suddenly become "on the wrong server" and have to move to either their regional servers, or the global ones.

You just said you would be fine with moving, so stop trying to segregate the rest of us against our will.

Where are you getting the idea that you'll be forced off of Selbina? I don't think anyone wants that to be the case.

Several people on this thread want that to be the case, and are implying Yoshida (Square Enix) also wants it to be the case.

If you make existing servers Japanese, or American, or European you are forcing people off of those servers.

About time to lock this topic. It already derrailed to "regional server discussion" a few pages ago and seems that won't come back to server merge topic any time soon... :/

I hope Rabanastre stays.... i love Rabanastre.

It's called new servers you big derp. Did you even read the post of mine you bothered quoting and replying to?

If you get forced off of Selbina, it will be because that server is being emptied due to it's low population. No other reason. All current servers are global and there is nothing to suggest that they will be made into regional ones. If we get regional servers, that will be in the future. Should that happen, I'm sure it will come with the option for anyone to migrate.
