Even if alot ppl would play ARR, there would be still not enough ppl for silly Servers like low exp or high droprates. And those ppl would have to reroll if they would like to play with all the others cause they can't be allowed to transfer.

And its just wront to think if you make servers with death penalty and slow exp all FFXI vets would come, they want FFXI 2.0 and nothing else. And alot of FFXI players are happy about death penalty not coming back and possiblity to exp better then it was pre ToAU.
