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

Yes, you are right, because now you will have no friends list, your second largest linkshell is moving to a different server than your largest linkshell and you will never see your longtime friends that took a break and will be forced to migrate to many different servers.

Why not just throw your cell phone away and see how many people call your new number?

And what's the matter? Do neither of your linkshells wish to compromise on the same server? And for people who say they're making friends on the forums and such--those who say "I wish you were on this server" ect. they get no option in this?

It's a game...Yes the people in it are real--but if you're thinking that "Ohhay! I'ma change my phone number and throw away my old one--let's see all my friends call my new one." And expect that NO ONE will call--are they your friends? If you didn't give them the new number in the first place--who's fault is that, there's?

And if you read my full post, I already stated that who knows? They will probably give an option to those who weren't on during this period to get a free transfer in 2.0. Also I said after reading the full post of what options they had, 2 would be more effective--but I guess you got TLDR after reading something you didn't like~. ^^

Unless everyone knows everyone on a server, the "community" for each person on a server is something different and depends on the bonds that person made with other people. Like Gramul said, we're talking about huge spiderwebs here. If you have a small linkshell with 10 people and you consider the bonds every person has in that linkshell and want to get everyone who those people know to the same server and the ones they know... you'll probably end up dragging half if not the whole original server to the new one.

It's not just a matter of a few linkshells that need to move to the same server -_-

Then why not just use the community forums--which I bet people are already doing--and say, "Hey guys--everyone from this server let's just all go to X server!" instead of complaining more and more and saying why it doesn't work? Why spend this time arguing here when you could be doing that? .-. And if they picked Option 2, you wouldn't need to care anyways--like Vaen said--Yosh asked for feedback--so who knows maybe it'll change before then.

Stop being so negative and not thinking--"oh we get the option to choose anything? We're screwed!"--and more like. "Well, they gave us this forums--HEY EVERYONE FROM THIS SERVER LET'S MOVE TO X! 8D" Which would be almost as close as you get to Option 2. For those friends you hold so dear but don't read the forums--then tell them in game? For those friends who wish to return in 2.0--just tell them where you went? .-.

You asked for a merge, and they gave you it. Most are unhappy and complaining--so they asked for feed back--IN A NON-"this option is horrible--you guys on crack!?" way. So if you want it changed so bad--say why something else would make more sense then the other--it would help your cause more to exclude the "You guys suck do it this way because I said so" manner...
