Server merge: Hidden server names.

[Mychael]

If someone really gets bent out of shape over the name of a server I have no faith left in this community. Though it seems no one really thought that the names simply weren't decided as the system (new servers) are much more important >.>

Whut names aren't decided? They're going to be the 10 highest-pop servers' names. We just don't know what one we're gonna be on.

Which means, they aren't decided yet. In the end, what does it truly matter? Your server name has absolutely no bearing on anything other than what you liked more between FFI-XIII.

To each his/her own. If it doesn't bother you, don't let it bother you that it bothers other people. Your server name won't make a difference to you, so don't let your lack of concern for server names make a difference to others?

Maybe not to you, which is fine. But it means something to others, which is clearly being demonstrated these past few hours.

Honestly this could have been avoided by simply doing a normal server merge... taking smaller servers into larger ones to even the numbers.

A world transfer service would not hurt either, even if it did come with similar stipulations as say FFXI (cost and a limit as to how many time it can be done in a time period)

It's that, but there's also the interest of people to stay within the community they're currently in. This way, everyone will most definitly be shuffled, and there's no guarantee in any of the 7 hells that all servers are gonna be evenly distributed. I bet some is gonna be crammed, and others desolate. If they're gonna keep the current names anyway, then just stay with that, give everyone the option to transfer or Stay. The servers that's closed down will move into them, and they may chose what affiliation or population they want to join into. Or rename all the servers. Then everyone at least get depressed equally.

It's not rocket science to understand people want to stay in the server with the same people they are currently playing with or around. It doesn't have to be all for roleplaying reasons.
