Server Merge

[Felis]

No server merges coming anytime soon. Quite the opposite... this game's population is very healthy.

That said, can you imagine how SE (given some recent SNAFUs) might handle server mergers?

"World A will be merged into World B. Because World B is the host world, housing plots/structures purchased on World A will only be carried over to corresponding vacant plots in World B. We apologize for the inconvenience."

If it is like during 1.x: "Players in World A and World B get transfered to World X"

After reading this I got concerned. Not about just population but names. See my name is unique but my wife is concerned her name could be taken on another server.
How would this work? The account that is active would get to keep the name?

They did server merges in the latter stage of Version 1 (Balmung was originally Besaid and Fabul).

IIRC, the priority goes to the oldest character.

I hope they would go by who was active or who was played during certain dates, how can you tell what character was made first? we looked up her character name and she was at the bottom, she's saving up for a personal house, sorry if it comes off as me saying FFXIV ARR is dying just thinking about the future server merges do happen.

I noticed you brought up the ver 1 merges, I like how you did the explanation, thank you for that. I have even done a search for my main character (not the one showed as my avatar)and noticed that mine was at the bottom of the list, does that make it the first one made? or is it just listed randomly?

Check achievement history, set to sort by oldest. Most people get their first achievement (Storyteller I or whatever) on their first day.

Maybe OP's reading the old server merge news here:

What linkshell is what? The Propaganda LS? Stop reading every BS random people without any clue write in game and start following the official forums and twitter.

I kinda wish they would, our server seems pretty dead lately. Here's to hoping 2.4 will liven it up.

[BobbinT]

On the contrary, I kinda wish the old legacy server splitted again. I kinda missed my Lindblum. In fact, most of the old server names kinda kewl.
