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

[Kraggy]

Wow, some serious knee-jerk reactions here. The merge hasn't even started yet and people are freaking out

Maybe due to the high possibility that if you don't get your request in NOW, you'll get left behind by the rest of your LS when THEY got in before the server became full.

This is an asinine merger process, totally unnecessary, and with SE's part history of server mergers people have a reason to be worried.

Seems SE needs to make the cap higher than server 1 + server 2 if they want the option for movement....

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

yea this is one hell off of a **** storm going on should clear up in a couple days once the server's can fully update been nice if they would of purged the inactive accounts from the servers would of freed up space and I know people bitched about that from what i read. But really why the hell should accounts that are not even active(p2p) taking up spots on alrdy over populated servers the ones who forked out the money to still play this game and support SE. Alot of the inactive accounts will probably never see action again or until 2.0. So SE should take all inactive account six months or longer to a holding list where if they do come active again they can choose a server that's open cause really they are doing us and SE no good taking a much needed spot for the active players(p2P).

Inactive Players are not Filling Up Servers
Seems like a bunch of people think this is the case. See this translated post from Yoshi-P: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post553471

Specifically consider the following from the last quote of that post:

... Inactive characters/non-subscribers are also counted, but they are not factored into the maximum limit of active characters allocated to each server. ...

As some have pointed out, it's really not the inactives that are the problem. It is the fact that instead of a server free for all, they went with set populations for each and a small window of movement for whatever servers were under target, per player request. I don't expect to see the servers change much, if at all at this point. Most EUs who were planning on transferring have probably already done so already.

It is unfortunate, but at this point the suggestion some have made of temporarily jumping to Ragnarok in hopes space will open is probably the best option for those of you who still want to transfer. I really doubt SE is going to increase the server caps since their entire goal is to evenly spread out our population. It's a risky move...
