Dear SE,

Let's face it, the reason you're hiding the names is because you want the community to spread out evenly among all servers, which is understandable. But as you can see, no matter which way you handle it, the communities will always try to stay together. So why are you hiding names?

I understand that if you kept them hidden there would be less of a chance for all players from one server to move to the same server after the merge. But you're forgetting that for some people their server name is as important as their character name. Some people chose their server specifically because of what its name meant to them.

Solution: Make all new server names and keep them visible.

The communities will still try to stick together, that's inevitable no matter which way you handle it. But at least with new server names we can choose our servers by name and not by chance.

You won't please everyone no matter what you do. But if this problem is solvable without any real casualties, why not?
