Reassessing the Merger of FFXIV Worlds (02/13/2012)

Well, Yoshi-P did anticipate the possibility of this happening. If it does happen, world 10 will either be merged with another preexisting world or server transfers will be opened again in the future.

yea, but how long will another merger take for them, or to make them organize another transfer. IF they already know what the low pop server will be just make that the euro friendly server suggestion. It would cut out an entire step.

I don't imagine it would take too long for them to get some real numbers. It would make sense that the sooner they did it the better since people will still be getting used to their new communities.

I would even go as far as to say that if any server comes up with a population of 1/4 that of another, that server would immediately be merged with another, before the actual mergers even happen.

Like Yoshi-P already stated, I don't think players will have to worry too much about this. His goal is to make populations even across the board. I doubt he'd let a small pop server remain desolate for too long.
