Server Merge Please

[Peregrine]

Merging would be a short term solution but a long-term mistake. The players who don't play but still have this game installed on their PC far outnumber those who still play. However, you can't assume they're not part of the server any more. Way too early to assume that. They *may* come back if the battle engine is successful and the PVE content is a hit, and the new job system is great. And they may come back in force. Plus, you have the PS3 release coming up, which might boost the server population by 50% or more.

Merging the servers is only a good decision if everyone's assuming FFXIV will continue to underperform. Therefore, if we're going to merge we might as well just stop.

No. There should not be any server merges or transfers available until I'd say 3 months after PS3 release. That way the population has had a time to stabilize and they can properly evaluate whether or not which servers need to be merged. Doing it any sooner would cause far more problems than it would solve.

Screw that just give us regional servers already !

Screw that just give us regional servers already !

It wouldn't be a Final Fantasy Multiplayer game without our jp folk.

[AlexiaKidd]

They will not merge severs atm because it would then be like admitting the game has failed.

I will have to play alone <.<.

No thanks, i don't want to play with the same players every day at the same time. I like playing with players all around the world.

[BelgianRofl]

Agreed. I like being able to log in at any time of the day and see lots of people. In Final Fantasy, it's always peak time somewhere.

That's cool if your from the US I guess, not so great if you are in the UK though, finding decent groups that don't run past 1am is a probelm, regional servers would solve this for me.

I see a lot of people argue how they like playing with JP players and what not but rarely do I see them actually doing it outside of behest.

I agree with alot of the others I'm 50/50 on this, it would be nice to have more players and such but I've been saying for a while now if the game jumps in population in a few weeks or few months then they will need to split again, lets wait untill it becomes closer to P2P and if then population is still down then we can talk about converging.
