A question, if i do nothing it's a SURE thing i go on the designated server or the FULL status can change my positiion? (ex. bodhum > excalibur)

Of uyou do nothing, you will be assigned to the default merged server. I.e the one your server merging with. So yea. :P and hi Murasaki Shikibu, me too go aegis :X

Aegis is where the cool people hang.

So, if I understand this correct, the main reason people are struggling to find a server to transfer to that actually has space, is because SE have allotted server space for all those that no longer play and have inactive accounts. Even worse it could be that many of those inactive players could have up to 3 seperate accounts each.

Once this has rattled out and we all log into our new servers, they may not be as populated as we were led to believe due to the number of inactives.

I still think that we have the best option compared to the one SE originally proposed for us, how were we supposed to know that SE would set the limits of the servers so low?

[Answa]

People from the NA side are still asleep. Remember we're all immediately defaulted into the merge server and that has to be manually overridden. I repicked Default Server just in case. :3

This is why we have two stages.

Yep...

Which is why everyone that began frothing at the mouth when Yoshi first announced the plans are less than bright. Serves them all right, in my opinion. The phrase "be careful what you wish for because you just might get it" never ringed so true.

As I understand it, from dev quotes I read somewhere sometime, inactive players aren't counted at all. They're in limbo. *fishes for dev quote*

Edit: Never mind. I completely read that wrong.

This is probably true. We'll see what happens in about 4 to 7 hours.

I will gladly retract what I said if this is true, I sure hope so

SE gave us all the information we needed. He said he wanted around 2k and said servers would fill up quickly after the applications begin.

Option 2 was the best option for people who wanted to keep the communities we have now together while giving people a chance to move if they so choose. This is the Option most demanded and got.
Not understanding that there are more inactive players. thus making it where majority of spots are taken up.
