Been playing since beta myself and I'm not too thrilled about the changes either. I'm all for a server merge, but I disagree about how they are doing it.

I know they are in the process of changing the game for the 2.0 reboot....been playing since beta....but having to play an entirely new game every 1-2 months has been getting really annoying, and this kinda puts a cherry on the top for me. My friends/linkshells that I have are primarily the only reason why I play anymore and this just may complicate the enjoyment of the game for me even further. I'm gonna try and stick with it, but I fear in the end, this is the one and only thing that will kill the game for me.
