Merge the servers, and kill the game in the gaming comunity.

simple they would just join a server that has their PC buddies already on it, or their PC friends could transfer over to that server. That and the UI will not be that much different from PC and PS3, like FFXI was.

How is it simple if the server is close to full. (remember launch and how hard it was to get on to a full sever ?)
Maybe the PC player doesn't want to move away from his linkshell and friends.
Yoshi-p said he plans to add a seperate UI for PC users which includes drag and drop. (addons will also have a knock on effect on this)

just the older servers may be a bit more ps3 light then the newer ones when it happens

That was my point.

yes PC version will have addons, but the default setup will be the same for both PC and PS3, and again the two would intergrate fine, does not matter what is happening on your PC client, the PS3 will read it and relay it just fine.

About server, you think that they will drop the servers that much? they are not going to shove everyone onto 3-4 servers -.- When PS3 version comes out, there will be new people on all servers, tons of transfers, and people going from PC to PS3.

I'm not saying one is incompatible with the other, what I'm saying is that a PC user interface is less cumbersome and allows players to react faster.

This means that PC players will have a slight advantage and PS3 players may not want to play with them because of that.

It's like how PC FF11 players had windower as an advantage, expect this time the gap will be much bigger because we will have actual addons and better controls and user interface.

We already have hints that they plan to make language specific servers, nothing to stop them to make platform specific servers if people cry up for it.

I'm only stating my opinion here by the way, so don't get so offensive.
