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

[BeePee]

So many of you are missing the real problem here. The unknown server names aren't even that big of a deal...

Some people have legit reasons to be away from the game whether it's boot camp, sickness, or death in the family. They're not waiting for 2.0 so they'll be back as soon as they can, but since they're going to miss the deadline, they'll be tossed to a random server.

Tell me, how's that a good thing?

[Sidious]

this is dumb cause some of players playing other games or taking a break from 2.0 will be affected by this. So that means they have to start a new char or pay for one month in order to stick to their old LS????? that's BS

So SE is supposed to cater to people who don't even play the game anymore? Give me a break. I'm as pissed of as anyone that I bought the CE back at release, but I don't blame SE at all for not basing their strategy on people who aren't paying customers right now.

Tell me, how's that a good thing?

It's not. It's a #$%^ happens thing. I'm glad I have a say in where I'm going, and since I'm paying and they're not, I'd say that is a good thing.

- A ‘Follow’ button has been added to the ‘Members’ list in the linkshell page that will allow players to follow their linkshell members.

Prob should use this.

I'm pretty sure the new severs will have new names and not use the old ones.

I have a friend away in the field, not sure when he'll be back but he has an active paying account. What happens to people like that, that return to play with their friends only to end up on another world?

this is retarded and overly complicated.

With FFXI, they announced what server was staying and what was merging into it. That was that, easy and painless.

"Follow" in that regard is for following their lodestone blog.

Who needs to play with their friends when they can read their blogs!

It's the same thing, stop whining! /sarcasm

Yes. Is that not a way to keep in contact with LS members? That may have access to lodestone and not the game.

Would it be possible to lets say buy new copy of XIV before the merge, create a character with same name, log into the server after the duplicate character name to change you're name?
