Server merge: Hidden server names.

[Silversnow]

You people should all wear shirts that say "CHANGE SCARES ME!" so we know who you are lol

Those of you saying that the ENTIRE community is against this should realize that the majority of the people posting on here are against this, yet they still only represent a very small portion of the community as a whole. Most of the people that are fine with it aren't posting at all one way or the other. Its been proven that westerners post when something makes them unhappy but not when they are pleased. Best to keep that in mind when making claims that EVERYONE is against this.

Also, this is happening in march, which is only a few weeks away, so best deal with the fact that they aren't gonna change it and make plans accordingly. For those of you that are getting all weak in the knees about it, please keep in mind that we will being doing this again when the new servers come online. (at least, that was my impression.)

I'd just be happy knowing the server names. Not knowing them so as to prevent "popular" names from filling up is an extremely feeble excuse. As it stands now it's like telling your kids to pick 1, 2, 3 or 4 because they are going to the movies. Now tell me how not knowing the name is not extremely important. If you have boys and end up at The Barbie Movie I see some royally ticked off kids.

LOl I get what you mean. But look how quickly popular named servers like Rabenastre and Besaid filled up while servers like mine (kashuan) stayed a freakin ghost town since release. I think people should spend less time worrying about names, and more time working together to communicate with one another in a way that gets the most people on the server they want together. While I love the analogy (because it was hilarious) this game isnt a movie. If it were, the title wouldnt change the content of the movie one bit. Everyone will still be playing the same game. I don't know, maybe I am wrong. I AM one of those people that thinks public schools should wear uniforms, and trust me, I know how popular THAT concept is with people. I am just an army guy at heart, and am all for making decisions based on substance rather than appearences.

Server name is important enough that SE mailed me a Right of Passage that lists Figaro as my server. Now if the server was shut down and wasn't available at all I could see not being able to be on it. But from player population polls there is a good chance that its going to be a still living world and I have a 10% chance to randomly pick the right one.

SE going to mail me an updated Right of Passage free of charge?

I never even got my Rite of Passage certificate. Sent away for it a month or two after the game came out and it never arrived. I wouldn't fret over it too much though. Perhaps they can make an online printable version of the passage thing allowing players to choose their own. Unlikely to happen though...
