anyone here can tell you i'm as far as you can get from being a yoshi apologist. i voice my displeasure anytime i do not like something, but i am also not a yoshi hater. to me, this was the best way to handle the merge. i think he is doing this the best way he could. the original way would have had the same issues as the one we are using now has.

this way at least only a small percentage of people are getting stuck trying to transfer and get stuck. the other method would have had most of the servers split. is this ideal? no, but when a game is in bad shape and server populations are dying then nothing is ideal. i wish the people trying to transfer over to other servers the best of luck getting where they wish to go, but this is one time i will give yoshi my full support because i think he did the right thing.
