Server Mergers

Yet Rhalgr's Reach and Kugane aren't exactly bustling, and they're dead quiet. Hunts aren't active.

Where are all these people?

And when people say Balmung as it is shouldn't exist, what do they mean? A server with a healthy economy and people who talk to each other shouldn't exist?

I don't know, hunts have been fairly active, and I've seen lots of people in the Reach and in Kugane. As many as Balmung? No, but its not dead.

Balmung was overcrowded due to people bypassing char creation lockout by transferring. So yes, Balmung shouldnt exist. There should never have been a server that everyone was told they had to be on if they wanted to play.

As someone who was on Balmung before it was Balmung, I don't miss it at all.

Odd how I hit Kugane with an alt since SB and people are concerned I went too fast, then there's questioning why the places are dead.

People are leveling man. Not everyone is desperate enough to transfer off a server with no way back.

No thank you! As someone who has been on Mateus since around 2.X I'd rather there be no server mergers. I miss the small feel of Mateus, and hope it kind of dwindles back down after the SB hype, however, it is growing on me that I've been seeing people actually doing things in the server. Mateus hasn't been dead in the slightest since SB hit. Hell, there are even people hanging out in Ul'dah- which used to be a barren wasteland. Someone told me that's Mateus become another sort of un-official rp server since Balmung is closed.

As for it not being active. There are plenty of people hanging out in Kugane. I asuume everyone else hangs out at their newly acquired houses or are off doing other things in the game.

Pros of one big server: Everyone can play with their friends, becuase its just one server, No RP servers required because you RP where you please, and those are both pretty big pros.

But with the way a lot of the game is designed, it might not work out well, because instances would become mandatory, and you'd never be able to escape that free company you hate or the jerks who offend you just by looking at them.
(although the latter is just a con of one server games)
