[Dev 1024] Server transfer & or Merging

[Eugenics]

I would love a server merge or server transfer.

i agree they need to either add the option to switch servers or merge the small servers together somehow Karnak for example has a tiny population albeit there are wore off servers but Karnak is definatly among the low population servers i want lots more people to play with

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.

The solution to low server population is not to merge and shut down servers. The solution is to make the game great so more people play it.

A server merge would mean SE is officially admitting the game is failing. If they shut down one server they may as well shut them all down.

And despite what the OP says, Wutai is NOT "quieting down". It's one of the more populated servers, and from what I've seen it's growing.

I'm all for character transfers (especially in Foulu's case), but again, that can't happen until the PS3 version is released and established.

Also, where are you getting dev1024 for this thread? dev1024 is about crowd control actions in party play (i.e. AoE abilities). It's got nothing to do with server population.

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 on day, everyone can play in the same world regardless of the server their character data resides on. =D

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.

Serious question - Is this your first MMO?

[Jennestia]

As much as ya'll overly exadurate Teras "Fail", what would make that compared to XIV?

Its funny how this is your only argument. Why do you think the update pattern for the next year of Tera is basically copying Rift and Aion?

They know it's failing, especially financially, get over it already lol.

TERA is making money and still has more active players than XIV

So does FFXI, but it's not failing financially like Tera is. XI already met and surpassed projections years ago, Tera failed by more than 30 million short. I swear Viion suffers from battered wife syndrome. "He may beat me and my child but I love him!"

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

I think no matter what server you go to, it's going to be the same. The reason why wutai is quiet is because there's nothing to do for the veteran players. A lot of us area taking breaks untill new stuff comes out and the game gets up to par. I Assume this is the same on EVERY SERVER.
