When should we start seeing movement to open closed servers?

This is the new server system. You've seen the 2.0 roadmap, haven't you?

And it is also a simple issue. The servers are getting creamed. The solution is adding more servers and balancing the load.

You'd think for a company in Japan, where they build artificial islands and peninsulas to accommodate their expanding country, this would come naturally.

No. No it's not. We're still playing on the old setup. The 2.0 beta will be the first time we get to play the game utilizing the new server configuration.

If this is such a problem why did they merge in the first place? I wasn't playing when all that was going on. Actually the merge is what made me check the game out again..... But it seems now like the merge just created problems? Especially since they want people to come back. o.o

They merged because most servers had 400-600 people and Yoshi wanted a bigger population per server 1000 - 2000, the current problems are mostly because everyone gathers in Ul'dah.
