[Dev 1024] Server transfer & or Merging

[Zuellni]

Wouldn't it be nice if there were no boundaries between servers? I suppose there aren't enough towns and areas to accommodate everyone at the moment, but I hope one day, everyone can play in the same world regardless of the server their character data resides on. =D

Names would become a problem pretty quickly. I think SE's reluctance to merge is based more in the perceptions of it. To merge servers is to admit that you have no faith in growth - they can't afford to look that weak. Even we have certainty that a successful re-release will fill the worlds up nicely again.

How would ps3 release help me? New people making a shell holder and I'll be the highest one? There are a few servers dead. You expect me to halt 1yr until they decide to transfer/merge? Hell no.

Phantasy Star Online 2 allows players to freely move around servers

On other hand I think PS3 players should by default play on empty servers.. who would want to play on our morbidly obese servers with tons of obsolete items on the market wards and whatnot? Along with people who would just stare at them rather than help them with their dungeons and everything.

i can partially see your point on this, but i do have to look at it from the other side also. i'm sure some of the people are waiting are ones that played xi on ps2 and have friends that are playing on the pc. they should have the option to join in with their friends. i have a few friends myself that are getting the game on ps3 when it releases and they want to get on the server with me. their computers just cannot handle ffxiv on their computers because they are basic home pc's and not up to anywhere near min requirements.

at the very most ps3 players should have the option to either join a pc populated server or join a ps3 only server, but do not think they should be forced either way.

Serious question - Is this your first MMO?

I would love a server merge or server transfer.

They cannot worry about server population until after the PS3 release. It's a waste of time and resources to shut down servers only to have to reload and redeploy them later

Yes it has, by the devs even, but don't let the facts stand in the way of a good chance to QQ.
