NA/EU Server Congestion: The Problem & A Solution for Devs (PLEASE READ)

[Eewec]

Opening transfers is a good idea. However, managing those transfers is also a good idea. Get groups together to apply 'as a group' for a transfer. I dunno, by guild or linkshell or something so people don't get left behind and it can be managed properly. That way people actually get to play with their friends and really, at the end of the day, would it really matter what the servers called, so long as those groups can stay together? True, there might be a bit of fun if someone wants to transfer the group between pvp, pve or rp servers and others in the group don't, but well, give people notice of how it'll work and people will adjust accordingly if given fair warning. Heh, do we even still have those designations any more for FF XIV:ARR servers? The bracketed info doesn't seem to be listed in the server list any more.

'Course, if they separated characters from servers so you could pick which server to play on today with your toon then it'll remove most if not all of the issues.
