Well, first of all I'm German but I am not happy about that SINGLE EU Server!
I also don't want this one to turn out as one of those servers where you read those "JP only" etc. shouts...
As I said on the German Forums, I don't want to live with that solution of 'server merge'. What if you and your friends choose a server, which happens to be full later on and just a few weeks later another friend wants to start playing FFXIV with you?! Is he screwed then?
I really hope they won't do it that way. Still want the solution of picking two low populated servers merged into one...
We might join another server instead of #10, but actually I don't want to think of it yet.
