I might be unpopular for saying this, but why do whole linkshells need to move to an entirely new server? What has your linkshell done on your server to cause you to want to move?

this is the result of not purging the 1 massive player database of inactive players....something SE was no doubt trying to Cover there ass on, by having us move individually they could of built a new database for the inactives.

It does not need to be anything negative. One reason would be this: We decided on a server before launch, and have since grown fond of the idea of moving to Balmung due to the (RP-)community there. It's not like we NEED to DEFINITELY switch, but if the opportunity arises, why not?
The way the application process is handled, though, it looks like we'll be staying on Sarg.

Evey full LS that wanted to move should head to ragnarok, it seems the people that SE wanted to go are not going so may as well look at it as just another server.


False, you are not paying for a merge system with an option to select your server. You are paying for play, and server merge come with it, the ption to select another one is not a right for paying, so u have no rights.
u Pay2Play... to play, not to complain about an option they give you. When something is created for you, to help you, not needed, and you complain it.. you are ungrateful.
First of all I would invite you to read Yoshida's letters where he encourages you to do it. "We’ll be taking all your feedback, positive and negative, into account as we move forward."False, you are not paying for a merge system with an option to select your server.

Then I would suggest you to write more clearly

Just got home from work... nice seeing how pointless choosing is. I was hoping that my characters would be able to reunite on one server finally. I guess I wont be playing my main character with my friends unless I relevel everything again... sigh.

So, It does seem like this was poorly planned out. Ive read a bunch of post and for the most part I get what happened. Even so, right now, it seems like SE was only intending to give people the chance to inhabit Ragnarok....
Also if ALL worlds but ONE are full maybe SE should take note and get some MORE servers... Cuz whats gonna happen when 2.0 goes live and we have active, inactive and NEW players all trying to inhabit servers that are already stressed to max?
I will end up cancelling my account if I'm stuck and cannot move to the server with my friends.
They say we had an option to move, but did we? I wake up 4 hours after transfers start, and there are NO choices except Ragnarok and that is Labeled as European Server, so I do not want to move there.
Why would SE say they are giving us a choice when really we have no choice. Why did they not build a queuing type system where people could put in the server they wanted to transfer to, and if people wanted to swap servers it would work down the queues?
I feel like anyone who didn't lose sleep over the transfer and even some who did, never had a chance. We were never warned this would happen. How are we supposed to know a server cap is 1000 active players, since that is what the merger limits feel like.
Basically, this is a merge and not a migration service...the goal is to create servers with an average population around the same size for every one of them, not to create disproportionated servers. SE warned that server may be full quickly after the launch of the migration service, it was right, it was fast.

If I understood AuctionGirl correctly, she's not asking for a "migration service." She asked why the didn't have queues.Basically, this is a merge and not a migration service...the goal is to create servers with an average population around the same size for every one of them, not to create disproportionated servers.

So...
- If you were the 50th person to apply but only 49 spots were open, you would know that you were next in line; not that you had to camp the page in hopes that they'd open.
- If 250 people want to move A->B and 250 people want to move B->A, they could all move. The way I understand it's working now, if A and B are both full, then none of those 250 people could move due to full servers, despite that it would have literally no effect on populations (i.e. they'd be trading people).
And to the other people that thinks people can wake up at odd hours of the night to move their characters in a game, I'm glad you don't have a life. <_<; Some people actually have to wake up for classes/jobs. I shouldn't have to jeopardize my work/school just to enjoy my game...
On the other hand, I'm not even transferring. So good luck everyone. xD
