Server Merge Solution: How we, as a community, can resolve this dilemma

[Eight]

If they implement a server transfer option where for a small fee you could switch that would help.Those who aren't coming back for awhile could pay a small fee and go where they want. That or just give them the option to choose a server when they resubscribe.

The discussion in this thread shows why SE's way of merge isnt wrong. Its not about population, but there is also timezones, lagnguage and other stuff you have to include.

Seems like it will be impossible to convince everyone what method is preferred, even if it's a mixed one. Instead of most of us winning, seems like we're all gonna lose unless they start throwing labels on more servers than just #10.

After some much needed sleep (cranky) I gave it some thought.

Ultimately this plan alienates people from low population servers, not just those who wish to move to a new server.

It's not about established players being able to stay established, even though the main concern is keeping your community intact (Nothing wrong with that.)

This situation is about people who are currently divided across all servers like EU players.
Once the merge selection goes active it then becomes about people who no longer have a server as well.

In the entirety of the plan here; I like it. But it fails to include everyone, which I can't agree with.

I can already say this plan doesn't look to end up working. A for effort though. Seems like the majority of active shells on Lindblum are deciding on World #5.

So does the majority of the JP players that voted here: http://ffxiv-fan.rulez.jp/world_change.php (Thanks to Reinheart for the link)

Urgh I don't wnt Lindblum as number 1, there is a chance the top 3 servers will fill up very fast and cause people to be locked out.

Well, this should be interesting seeing as this is the most fracture bitter community of MMO players I've ever ever seen.
