Please be Careful about the Labels used during Server Transfer

[viion]

The method is going to be servers with low population will get to choose a server with high population to join, nothing more, nothing less. (from his words). We the players will decide to compile a specific language server or not, just like we branded Besaid as the RP server, the players are the ones at fault for this and the players will be the ones at fault for making servers more specific tailored to one language than another.

Hi viion,

That would be fine. But his statement doesn't explicitly state how he would convey this information. Of course the players can "police themselves" or distribute information themselves here on the forums, but I don't think SE is going to take the time to do Server Transfers, especially

"In order for EU players to gather on the same server in a certain mass, we are planning to go with the method where the players from a World with a less population can designate the World they wish to transfer to"

without some official method of conveying some information to help players choose?

The full details are coming in mid-January as he states, but by then, it will be Official language, posted on Lodestone for all to see. And if he chose the method of using Labels (Language / Country, etc.), then by then it will be too late.

Thanks.

I did not read it like this nore see it that way. The way I see it is exactly how it is stated.

"where the players from a world with less population can designate the world they wish to transfer to"

It will be like XI's current transfer, only the low populated servers will be given an option. Its all very key worded.

That is how I see it anyway. So if I go "Ok, I think Lindblum is more EU, so I will choose that server" and everyone will get a choice. The problem I see (or i could just be wrong) is what if no one chooses, they cant do a random selection. I just think it would be a bit foolish for him to label servers, but i also would not mind because I do prefer and only play with English speak players.
