Migration?

[Dustybrown]

I'm not sure you could do a server merge, it would be a total nightmare to sort out all the conflicting names and linkshells that people had.

I'm guessing they would do it like they do it on WoW. When you migrate, if your character has the same name as one already there, they will give your character a temporary name like "Spooky1143" and when you first log on you will have the option to change it to whatever you want. I imagine for LSs they would do exactly what they do with the migrations to "new" servers - all LSs break when you leave and you have to make a new one when you get to your new server. If the one you had on the old server is taken, hard luck.

The main problem I see with server migrations is that a bunch of people will migrate elsewhere in the hope botting, UllisAery and everything else is less of a gilseller run time sink, but in fact it's exactly the same if not worse than the server you were on before.

I can't wait for migration, so people can gtfo asura and I can have the server to myself :D :D :D

The 3000 GS'ers on our server won't move.

Screw GS, there's some tards I want moved.

[darktroll]

Ohh I like the idea of forced Migration by vote!

Sorry Darkceiphertothofcain, you have been voted off the server

The best part is when 3000 people are forced to change names because they all use a variation of the same name

I can see it now.

"What do you mean SephirothXJFFVII is taken?! Damnit, I thought that was so original too."

[aurik]

They've done server merges in the past.

[Mathayus]

Server consolidations will happen before migrations.

[yrpaine]

would be funny instead of banning all the rmt if they just force migrated them to another server.

[Navia]

Amen.

You think people would stop hoping for a migration option after seeing how many people lamented moving to Remora.
Same old bullshit, just a different server.

Lol come to Bahamut for a month.

[Sixtail]

If they do it, they must not open new servers. We all remember the lolz when they opened up new servers for COP.

Only asshats, RMT's and total fucking failures migrate. Smart people stay and laugh when the people on the new server discover they've moved right into a slice of freshly made hell.

[Tritone]

MY entire lvl 45 newbie LS migrated to Hades when it was a brand new spanking server....
Now this wasn't so bad. We all used to mine, log, farm reg mobs, and were experiencing that first crop of CGS. The low level strip farming, 10 person alliance logging/minig point whores, and were glad to be rid of them. RMT do not have a history of migrating.
We had a good time for awhile.
Then came the next migration. It consisted of 90% asshats running from their bad rep, and as you can imagine, more than 100 stories of "borrowing" expensive gear and hopping servers.
Our economy went straight to hell, 40 billion in gil that was not controlled by the normal game balancing programming dropped into the server, people fighting, pointing fingers at each other "you were XXX on XXX Server, you thief". Drama abound.
No non-social LS was ever the same.
To this very day, the whole "personality" of Hades has changed, from a laid back group of NA n00bs learning end-game, and a few JP end-game LS looking for less competition, to a bunch of accusing, finger pointing, gossiping, elitists. It was inconceivable that something like a migration could wipe out what was essentially the server we all dream of in regards to cooperation, helping, and goodwill.

Pray you never get stuck on the receiving end of server migration.

I hate to be harsh to the people who were looking for a new, better life but when they opened up the new servers, I smelled the incoming hell right off the bad. The ratio of asshats and other assorted turds looking to float on down the pipe and foul fresh waters far overwhelmed the number of legit good players. And they knew how to do it too as the migation allowed well known asshats to change names and vanish into the background only to show back up after they made their big score. Add that in with the fact that the new servers had one of the fastest rate of RMT growth and progression thanks again to NA's who couldn't wait to help them and you have a ready made hell.

New servers should only allow new characters. Even manaburning RMT death squads would have a large amount of trouble when they don't have any PLers to bring em mobs, protect em from bad pulls or better yet have to deal with every EXP area crowded with new people trying to EXP.

i just want migration so i can be with RL friends D:

[Epidemic]

I wish there was a way to pay to move servers, like on WoW. ($20 fee i believe)

I know alot of people that wishes this was the truth, My brother-in-law quit the game when his ingame friends quit also, but would have kept playing if he could have swapped to mine.

But I am guessing SE don't loose to much money over it, hence why they don't offer the option.

[Sixtail]

There's a lot of reasons for now offering it. One being the chance for mass hoards of server hopping thiefs, fully gil loaded mules flooding the servers and sending shit wacky and other various ones.

[Karik]

stop getting my hopes up

/slap, u will be stuck here on Asura with me forever!!!

[DeadLegend]

I don't know why anybody would want to stay on ifrit.
