Server merge: Hidden server names.

[Ithil]

The way I see things going, people will follow their LS and LS leader from one world will ( more or less) all go to the same world in order to keep the community ( and the "multiple-LS" players).

So how is that different from having server A merged with server B Sidious?

Players from Besaid for example will end up in server 8 and populate it like mad ( besaid being a very big server), don't tell me there won't be a besaid community on this server and that anyone not from besaid joining this server will feel like belonging to "/insert new server name". My bet is when someone will try and join a LS in this new server, the first question he will have will not be " what is your main?" but " did you come from besaid?"

No offense to besaid players I just took besaid as example because it is a well known populated server.

If that happens then the people from high population servers get what they want-- to keep their community while the underdogs have to try and cope. I doubt it will be anywhere NEAR that uniform, however, as communities are a complex ecosystem that go far beyond individual linkshells and their interactions. Furthermore, linkshells and their constituant parts may not share the same vision for these transfers.

1indblum will be far from a carbon-copy of Lindblum. You can either accept this and work to create something new and better than what you had before, or you can wallow in the past. That's how I see it.
