What is really alarming is the fact that they have no concept of what MMOs are all about. It is about the relationships that you form with friends online.

Why they just don't merge servers now and then allow people to change servers later is assinine.

Why only label one server as German/French. What about an Italian server? What about a French Canadian server?

Why they don't designate which servers are RP is inconcievable. Surely they must realize that there are RP players and non-RP players?

Why not name the final server names now? Is that so difficult?

Do they have anyone on their staff that worked on FFXI? They handled server mergers much more efficiently than their new plan.

There are much smarter MMOs out there. They actually provide PvP, PvE, RP and time zone labels on servers when you choose which server to start on.

They claim that they want to be competitive in the MMO market, yet their ignorance of how to properly handle server designation is alarming.
