Treading Dangerous Ground

I'm under the impression of what some other intelligent forum goer mentioned before me;
If you're in favor of option 4, then you must have no friends in this game.

I think that's overly simplistic to think.
Some people were/are just fine with option 4 period. They are confident they can move to a new server with their friends, or in the case that they don't have friends, it's a fresh start for them. But the downfalls to option 4 are very obvious once one puts aside how they feel and thinks about the entire picture.

For example: I am fine with option 4 because it presents me the option to move with my LS, which are the only important people to me on the game currently. However, it cannot be ignored that other players have many linkshells, some of which are very large making option 4 a nightmare. Option 2 throws a bone to those players, keeping parts of option 4 throws a bone to players in a more simple situation.

It's not about having no friends, or having a ton of them. It's about looking at the entire picture, not just your specific situation.

Let's get past the rather insulting assumption that everyone who likes option 4 is a complete loner/crazy/human hating player.

Your forgetting those of us that occupy super low population servers (like mine) that would gladly take ANY of those 4 options over what we have now. Not to mention, how hard is it to say, "hey friends of mine, I am moving to server 6."? Thats pretty much what I said to the friends I play with on this as well as those taking a break, and with the exception of a few of them, each of them were just fine with that. If they don't want to move with you, then they won't be missed for very long. Thats besides the point though, this room shouldnt decend into a debate over which server merging option is the best. There is already 50 or more of those up and running.
