About the World Merge and Character Transfers (02/09/2012)

[Jinko]

this will be a very important month for people to be susbscribed during, lest they get tossed to a random server when they return to the game

If SE require you to sub to change server they are more stupid than I thought.

If SE require you to sub to change server they are more stupid than I thought.

I believe the thinking on SE's part is to allow people who want to try 1.21 out will beable to choose where they go, but people who have no intention of paying until closer to 2.0 and have deactivated characters will be randomly assigned a server.

And people talking about people deciding to wait till 2.0 could loose thier friends, I would imagine (pure speculation) new characters made after 2.0 will be able to choose servers because its not the PS3 players fault they cant play now and I will seriously hate it if my rl friends and friends I met on FFXI that are waiting for the PS3 release werent on my server because a random number generator chose for them.
