For the past hour or so, I've been quietly observing the community's reaction to the latest lodestone update, and devised a solution that, in theory, could work, so long as we all set aside our discrepancies and unite as one.

What I am trying to propose is a movement where all frequent users of these fine forums band together to unofficially assign old servers to new ones, and then, during their time spent in Eorzea, make this movement known. No, it won't solve the problem of inactive players being sent to randomized servers, but unless Square Enix is willing to rethink this process, it's the best we can do.

I figure we can base the server assignments on the alphanumeric system that has been mentioned in most of the threads concerning the merge. The following chart is the most organized example I could find.

Furthermore, we could adapt this to fulfill the needs of those seeking an english-speaking-european dedicated server, as well as a roleplay server, and whatever else the community may desire.

All this really takes is the involvement of a few well-established individuals to help sway the otherwise indifferent or torn towards the most efficient and amiable direction.

So what say you, fellow FFXIVers?
