Petition to reveal Server names before transferring!

[Dragon]

I love Besaid but Im not looking to jump back to besaid.. I like the new name idea much more. But I would really reallllllyyy like to know the names, as every server I have played on I chose to (a.) Stalk Kanikan cause hes so awesome or (b.) I loved the name, it was nostalgic.

I have to admit if I ended up on oh lets see some old ff servers.. Fairy. Id not be very happy at all.. (not that I have any issues with fairys or same sex couples, I just really would dislike a name like that <3)

YOU FAIRY HATIN' RACIST!!! (lol)

Well if they announce the New Server Names and the New Server Names are the top 10 Servers, that would change everything because then there is no need to close the top ten servers.

The only logical option then is to close the bottom 8 servers and allow those players to choose which World to go to.
Maybe bump up the population cap to 1500-2000 for the top 3 Worlds.

Heck, we really should just have 3 Worlds with 3333 population each.

Easy for you to say, you're not one of the eight servers that would essentially be misfits. It's not like we knew our servers were going to be dead when we picked them. Well, most of us anyway.

Bohdum is pretty dead. Always has been. And actually I am the biggest misfit of all. I have been playing since November 2010 yet I have no LS and an empty Friends List.

We need an "Island of Misfit Toys" World.

If you'd spend more time

meet[ing] new people and start[ing] an entirely new, cohesive community

after a server merge and less time

try[ing] to fit in somewhere in that well-established equation

you'd probably be a lot happier with the idea.

You can start a new community from a merge just like you can a shuffle. It may be harder, but it's entirely possible. Likewise, this shuffle could result in the same tightly-knit "You don't belong!" attitude you think is inherent to merges. That's all on the part of the community; if the community doesn't want to expand, it won't; I think that the XIV community would welcome expansion right now, though. I understand that you have negative experience in the matter from FFXI, but I have rather positive experience from FFXI. Fairy->Sylph worked well for me. My LS moved and gained new characters. I can honestly say that I didn't lose a single friend, and gained many. I was myself, and became part of the community. "Fitting in" shouldn't be something you have to try to do. And in my experience the destination server does not purposefully shun the new members.

My apologies, I thought I read Lindblum under your name.

Why would I want to be happy with another idea when I'm happy with the current official idea?

[punisher360]

i agree too i want to stay on besaid server too also

[MintyMint]

I second this, why the secrecy? Just choose the names now and let us play on the server we want associated with our characters. Hell I only chose Lindblum because I really love FF9...
