Announcing the World Merge(3/1/2011)

[Kirin]

So those who were merged previously...what was the environment like right after? Was business as usual or did it take a few weeks to sort out event/dynamis schedules?

[Michelob]

Ew 2 merges in less than a year. I love xi but is really is dying rater rapidly

Less than a year by a week?

[Naratu]

for fucks sakes. i'm already fighting people for cara spawns as is. this will make it worse.

The merge isn't for 2 weeks. You should be done by then!

[Katoke]

Quitting. Fuck you SE, just fucking make one server already, this shits old and annoying. Bye.

[Arkanna]

*edit* Nevermind, I'm a fuckwit tonight.

Dynamis?? When I went from Midgard to Quetz last year everything seemed ass-backwards. The economy never even got a chance to settle after the merge occurred in the 3 months before Abyssea inevitably destroyed the old market, morons seemed to multiply, and nothing you do will have no competition anymore.

[Fievel]

Jesus christ I'm looking all over Unicorn on ffxiah and recognzing no names, is ANYONE here on Unicorn?

[Apelila]

wow 8 servers? A couple of them don't surprise me, they're beyond dead on FFXIAH but 8?

[vinelle]

Quitting. Fuck you SE, just fucking make one server already, this shits old and annoying. Bye.

Hopefully enough people will quit over this that the merged population won't be any bigger than the current one. >.>

Twice as many people, twice as many morons. This is surprising?

[Burningthought]

Someone should correct the date in the thread title >_>

Oh shit, well I guess i'll go ahead and bend over. My bad <_<;

In hindsight I actually wanted to edit the title right after I posted it, but figured I wouldn't have the privileges to.

lol if i wasn't doing it VERY laid back and "when i feel like it" you'd be right. My main gripe is EVERY time i go there there is no less than 3 groups doing cara and the 2 KI mobs. With this? fuuu.

[Mathayus]

Looks like Bahamut is getting a raw deal on this one.

[Michelob]

Twice as many people, twice as many morons. This is surprising?

It seemed like 4 times the morons, hence the use of the word multiply rather than add. My point was that morons make themselves seen more frequently via shouts and the like than other players and when you mix two servers together it gets bad.

Protip: the migrated is being migrated to because of their shitty population/weaker playerbase.

[Iremire]

So what's good with titan i've never heard anything exciting/interesting about the server?

[Arkanna]

So let's get some "/sea all" going. People that are on the servers that are being merged, what kind of numbers are you seeing online?

For reference, I'm on Lakshmi (which consumed Garuda last year) and I'm seeing 1,688 online at 1AM eastern time.

[Darkmagi]

Quitting. Fuck you SE, just fucking make one server already, this shits old and annoying. Bye.

Please make this a trend so my server doesn't get too overpopulated. Many future thanks.

[Michelob]

1249 online on Phoenix. Probably at least 20% of that is afk
