Can we please get a dev comment about servers being full?

Not sure why SE needs to learn anything. They still get what they need out of this and, by caving to whiners, can't be blamed for a fiasco created by the players themselves.

- Players wanted to keep their inactive friends on their servers.
- SE should have considered only the number of active accounts in their calculations (because a big portion of inactive accounts will remain inactive).

Taking in their calculations the enormous inactive accounts database is the big problem here.

And no, SE will not ''get what they need out of this''. Being the only server with no inactive accounts, every LS willing to move will end up in Ragnarok... it will be so over-crowded that they'll have to make a second merge before the 2.0.

All SE needs out of this is to condense servers and increase population across the board. It matters little who individually ends up where from their perspective. Guess what? Target achieved.

Also not sure why you are blaming SE for any consideration of inactives when it was the community who demanded that they do so.

Condensing by creating an over-populated server? I don't think this is what they had in mind. They let the Selbina server alone for that purpose. Ragnarok will quickly become the exit strategy of choice for all linkshells trying to move (not just EU). The problem resides in Linkshells using this as a World Transfer Application program which is clearly not the case.

As for the part about keeping the communities together when moving, it's clearly not their primary objective.

On the inactive accounts, they should have just moved them automatically but they shouldn't be in their calculations for the cap space on each server. It's like annexing two cities together and counting the dead bodies in the graveyard in the population of the new city.... it doesn't really make sense.

That was part of their original plan, but people cried foul.

Wrong. Their original plan was to put all inactive accounts on a remote server where they will stay until the 2.0 (since everybody moved to a new server anyway). To use the same example I used, it would be like moving all tombs in a waste and, if they miraculously wake up, they would render alone in a wasteland. That was their original plan.

No, the original plan was to move everyone off of the servers and have everyone partake in the transfer process, thus logically inactive people won't be doing this and will be regulated between the servers after active players are done.

Seriously delete the inactive accounts over a year old they are not coming back and who cares about them i sure don't or anyone i know either
