About the World Merge and Character Transfers (02/09/2012)

So you got nothing? Except that pleasing everyone pleases no one.

It pleases people who want to stay with their community.
It pleases people who don't want to stay with their community.

I'm sorry so who is left not happy? What is the third group?

No one is saying your method wouldn't work. What we're saying is they haven't made it an option and probably won't, and we've gotten over it. You should too.

This won't work.
I already tried.

It really must have been hard on you to disregard all those deep friendships and connections you have made with people on your server who maybe won't end up going with you to the new server. Took you all of a few hours!

Sorry, since I started playing the game I kinda went out of the way to be involved in my community. I helped many players when they were new who are now max level, my friend's list is full of people I have played with since day 1 spread across multiple linkshells.

I've had drama with people, and gotten past it. I've had people leave my linkshell and remain my friend. There are people who I talk to maybe only once a month, but even they make up a large part of the experience. I love Selbina, Selbina and certainly not the current endgame content is why I continue to invest and play this game.

So I'm sorry it is going to take me more than a few hours to say goodbye to what has been an enjoyable experience. If it is so easy for you, maybe that's because you aren't really that attached to your community (maybe you are even looking forward to a fresh start where people don't you, and good for you but you could have gotten that without depriving me of my community).

I like how you assume he belittles connections with friends just because he doesn't have a bleeding heart like you do.

Did it ever cross your mind it may not matter to him because anyone that matters will follow him OR he will follow them?

Sorry some people don't walk around pretending everyone they meet in an MMO, if only for a second, is their friend.

You're right, I'm sure that anyone who matters to him will follow him and if they don't then they will cease to matter to him.

What an awesome way to look at people you play on a server with! So again which server are you going to?

On the chance that I will play this game as long as I did FFXI, I actually do kinda care who I play on a server with and they do matter significantly to me. They enhance my enjoyment of the game, or in some cases detract from it.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to enhance your experience through your community.

There's something wrong when you don't realize that some of us will be able to enhance our experience with any community we land in.

I guess I (we/whatever) are more flexible than you. And quit asking what server I am joining. Even if I join yours by chance it's not like it effects anything. I promise not to follow you around all day trolling you ok sweetie pie?

But yep, we're the jerks.

Am I the one telling you that you shouldn't be able to transfer away from your current community.

If you can "enhance your experience" with any community why are you opposed to letting those of us who already have our experience enhanced continue to play with our community.

Never said I was opposed to it. You seem to assume this because I don't agree with you.
Funny thing: Just because I don't agree with everything you say doesn't mean I don't want you to have your community.

I dont understand why they dont merge 2-3 servers together so that everyone in each of them is not losing these so called 'community friends'. They did it in ffxi, so why cant they do it with this? You would think it would be easier since there are less people playing.

On a side note I think ....realistically people who think they are a somebody in a computer game need to get their head out their ass. Get on with life and stop complaining about a server merge on a game you complain about having hardly any players. You are acting like SE are evicting you from your house and these 'close friends' give a monkeys about you lol

It's a game, and this is a forum for a game discussing a topic that drastically effects the experience of everyone playing that game.

If I don't like it I'll quit, and it won't ruin my life but it will be the end of me playing this game that I enjoy.

I'm a somebody on my server, and that person I invited to my EXP group last week they were somebody too. People, even on the internet are still people. There is apparently just a higher population of people acting like sociopaths, lacking the ability to empathize with others.

See and this is the problem, I want to end up on a server with other people who treat people like they are actual human beings behind their characters and not just one populated by anti-social nerds taking out their rage in virtual form (as is unfortunately the case in many MMO communities). I found that here on Selbina, and looking around on this forum at people from Gysahl/Rabanstre/Saronia/Wutai/Besaid/etc. it appears I was pretty luck to land on Selbina.


btw I'm not the only one who thinks that. A lot of us on Selbina really enjoy our server, I guess you wouldn't understand not having a character here just how much of a difference it makes.
