So I log in this morning and get a message inviting applications to move to a different world.
Anyone else get this message? what does everyone think? do you think a new server would be better or worse?
I think it could be a little of both. Eventually the new servers would be like the existing servers. When I check around these boards everyone seems to complain about the same things. No server seems drastically better or worse than the others.
If there are less people on the new server(s) it might be harder to get a party, especially for those high level players. It might be easier to camp NMs that people can solo though. I think prices on the AH could either way. Somethings would be cheaper, but I'll bet hard to get items would be more expensive if there were less people getting them just to sell (e.g. Drain scroll or Mist Cape or those things that are already over a million gil). Then again it might be easier to just go quest for those items... (who knows! so very hard to guess!)
Also if there isn't enough demand for all three servers the announcement seemed like SE will combine all the applicants onto one server. That could be real bad because you might even end up on a new server that is as crowded as your old one! I think Asura was the one server that they added for the NA release I wonder what their impressions were before they moved and how the server really worked out.
As far as getting away from the professional gil farmers. I doubt it. They could just load up one character with the max allowable gil to cover any gil requests, move some farmers from each server to create a new team of farmers.
I don't know a ton of people in the game that I party with regularly so if I left I wouldn't be leaving behind so much as maybe others would. It might be fun to start COP on a new server!
