Server merge: Hidden server names.

[Mychael]

And you have evidence that it is not? It's one of < 10 servers with three chocobo's whenever I check. By all means, enlighten me.



You're for the idea in every other thread. Why the change of heart?

I'm for lots of different ideas. They're not mutually exclusive. To sum up:

I would like them to merge entire servers with an "opt-out" option. I.e. Selbina and Rabanastre will become Zanarkand (just examples), but you can choose to move elsewhere.

Because I realize that SE will probably not do a 360, I at least support the early release of server names because people (including myself) are simply trying to circumvent this equal disbursement that they think numbers will bring. And if they will not do this, I am for the idea of creating new server names so there is not a feeling of having been displaced, but of being replaced.

I am also a proponent of equal treatment for the non-subs and current subs. I.e. if they choose for us, I want the non-subs to come with us; and if we choose freely, I want the non-subs to choose freely. Though I realize you can and might argue this to the death, this game is not quite a finished product, and the devs have admitted that they're not even going to try to push PR until after 1.21, presumably for 2.0. To say that players who have every intention of coming back do not deserve a fair chance to play with their friends sounds wrong to me, regardless of whether that's absolute or enforced by a "tax" on non-subs. We get special benefits for paying in the form of event items (Goobbue) and the "live" storyline.

And regarding Gysahl, I could care less either way. The names are just names, and it's tragic that they've elected to do this method with the same names, and then make it so we're picking without knowing. I don't frequently go through the trouble of creating new characters just to back up a forum post.
