After open beta I really don't see the point to splitting us all up in the first place. I wasn't able to level one class from 1 to 20 in open beta, while other people managed to level 5 or 6 classes to 20. I'm on a Legacy server and there are people on new servers that are arguably much more leveled than me. There will be people hitting 50 on every server within a week. There will be people with outright dumb amounts of gil on new servers in a month. Treating people who played the original game like lepers isn't going to save you from being on a server with people with more levels and gil than you.

Yeah, maybe part of why I'd want to be on a new server is I do want to show off some items I have. That's kind of the point of an MMO, isn't it? I feel a bit cheated by SE to have been offered the limited time Goobbue mount, paying for a subscription and leveling up just to get it, only to find out later that I'm stuck in a quarantine zone where most people also have it.
