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

[Arksniper]

LMAO, you people begged and pleaded for a world merge/transfer and now bitch about the manner in which SE provides it? You do realize that if they could have done this a better way they probably would have right? You all really think they sat around thinking up ways to create this that would best screw you all? Amazing. Thats like asking for help and then questioning the manner in which its provided. Face facts, many of the people that are "taking a break" aren't coming back. And for those that I hope do return, if its so important for them to keep the character they have made but took a break on in the same world as their friends, they can pay a sub fee like the rest of us and CHOOSE where they want to go in March.

Server merge in 11 was perfect. Why can't they replicate it? Don't be a fool please... Next post.....

Us on Phoenix and Titan would beg to differ.

Spoken like someone that clearly thinks the 2 games are coded the same. ANd I am more than willing to bet not everyone thought the server merge in 11 was "perfect". You can't please everyone, its a game, deal with whats happening and adjust your plans accordingly.

Actualy that type of merge would work better in XIV since it wont have a chance to overpopulate end game HNM camps as mergers did in XI, seing as XIV engame is 90% instanced (10% stronghold rest is moogle/Ifrit).

I like SE as a game dev, but that doesnt force me to became a blind fanboy and agree with every decision they make, this merge system obviosly has flaws since alot of the community are now complaining and having worries about it and trough the forums we are voicing our opinion on the matter.

Nono, when Titan got merged into Phoenix and we peaked at 6-8k people at times and could barely load up zones let alone do anything for months at times due to huge Japanese and NA/EU playerbases hogging everything at all times of day..it was perfection.

And here we go. Because I don't have a problem with whats going on, I am immediatly a blind fanboy? Why don't you take the time to read other posts I have made about the game before mouthing off ignorantly about some blind devotion you seem to think I have to a corporation? I completely understand that not everyone is going to be happy with the way things are done, but like I said, the XI system and the XIV system are 2 completely different games, coded in 2 completely different ways. I am sure that there is a reason they have done things the way they have done them here. My ability to face reality and adjust my plans accordingly doesn't make me a fan boy, it make me grounded and able to cope with things I have no control over. BIG difference.

This system works for me thus everyone that suffers from it must be a QQer and everyone should just agree with what SE decides no matter what.

I'm sorry thats basicly all I can read from theese posts, no offence meant, I understand alot of people can't easily see something trough the eyes of another.

If you are content with this system, why are you making such a deal with propositions that could create a system that would work for alot more people, isntead belittening thoose who are voicing their concerns, labeling them as whiners.

Most likely the reason why its done the way it is, is because its cost efficiant and easy for them to implement.
Thats just as likely as a reason that would be a option thats best for the player community.

You call me a fanboy, misquote me, and have the audacity to say no offense meant? Ballzy. I actually do not have a problem with the system, but even if I did, I understand that this is happening in March, which is way too soon for anything I have to say against it to change things. They aren't going to change this, so instead, I would do my best to make plans accordingly. Please don't misquote me again. There is plenty of things SE has done that I don't agree with, this just happens to not be one of them.

Also, my ability to see why they have done things this way because of the international players is the very definition of seeing things through other peoples eyes. Grow up.

If I order a ham & cheese sandwich, see them make one and then put in a blender, spill the contents on a plate and get it handed over to me: I will not "just deal with it". I will f***ing complain.
