[Dev 1024] Server transfer & or Merging

[Fouluryu]

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 least 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.

Fixed. You're wrong and please don't lie to the community here. As of now 9/19/11 wutai is but a small tiny server. It only looks big because of people going to Uldah as a main nation being a "Jeuno" gathering to dig through wards easier.

Another thing I like to share is Eekiki is one of the shell holders who go afk until they get a tell to buy unique/rare drop gear for Darkhold runs. One of the examples of people who are preoccupied aren't. I don't want to drift off the subject of the need of server merging or transferring but Eekiki's comments are unsupported evidence of any kind as usual. I don't have infinite gil as these people do but at least I work for it.

Just like Azury's post earlier, they care about making gil, controlling the crowd, & becoming a major resource selling unique/rare equipment. Hence this post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l-for-3-months

Any person can make a character on wutai just to make a survey to see how low population is it. It's populated primarily with other langauge speakers like EU & JP & I don't play on EU time to have the advantage to do events at 3-5am EST, so no. They just want to control the community and it's needs (i.e. respect us or no drops for you). So if this is the case how Wutai will end up, I don't want to be here. There are other servers I can go to that I know and are more friendly environment than Wutai that's for sure. And don't go saying "It's a waste of time and resources" because you don't work for Square Enix or how would they function.
