Seeing problems for old servers at ARR release?

[Murugan]

What he said was that there would be (some) new servers where old characters could not be transferred, fresh start servers.

They did not say old characters cannot be transferred to new servers at all, do you really think they are going to make the change to regional servers and then lock all 1.0 characters to Japanese servers (or randomly assign old servers to new regions).

My guess is there will be no old servers at all, but we'll see when phase 3 opens and NDA is lifted.

well i think it is going to be more like "Ragnarok will be flagged as european server with a location in EU" rather than leaving all old servers in japan.

See that just doesn't make sense. The old servers aren't compatible with the new client, that's one of the main points about the remake... all new everything.

My guess is there will be a whole new list of servers some designated for 1.0 players and some designated for new players all divided up by region and we'll pick which server our old characters are placed on.
