Ifrit Joing Odin... Seriously?

Well, does anyone have any figures for Ifrit/Odin and server max population? I severely doubt SE is doing this to save a few bucks on electricity.

why do people give a *** your merging servers? You will have more people to play with, more people to interact with, shouts will be more common you will get things done quicker. Sure you might need to wait a little longer to get an NM but so what? Stop complaining your merging.

Ok Dad :_:

Now go to your room, tidy that ***hole up and go find a god damn job!

I'd be excited if I still played

they used to post the server population on their website a few years back. But i havnt seen it up their since before the odin lock out

all right we can gather togeather faster to wait longer to kill stuffs >.>. personally im happy about the merge, i have friends that are too cheap to pay the $25 to transfer from ifrit to odin so it all works out for me.

edit: shee when you goin home so you can come back to ffxi??

Next week, so be ready! :D

Ima be hella busy with RL stuff and events and I'm returning to the US on the 28th, but I'll make it on. This time Ima buy an XBox though. Too many free nights here, lol

Yeah, but most groups I've met JP or NA, have usually been friendly and we take turns poping NMs. But I would like it if more ppl can get KI (Triggers) from NMs , so there will be less ppl fighting over ??? for KI sets.

Cant wait to meet you all from Ifrit ^_^

I both agree and disagree with this.

I agree that, in general, you play FFXI for the experience, not the server. In other words, if you woke up one day and S-E had secretly moved everyone to a new server, without announcement or warning, you might be (justifiably) upset, but you would (probably) still go on playing FFXI the same as you were beforehand.

However, it's pretty obvious that all servers are not identical.
Just the other day Raen was in here complaining about the number of Japanese botters in Abyssea claiming Gukumatz on his server right now. Through that discussion, we learned that not all servers are experiencing this issue, and it's possible that his server has a higher percentage of JP players than other servers. Furthermore, as someone who spent many years on Ramuh server, I can attest that that server was basically "dead", and I'm not surprised at all that it's among the servers closing shop this month. When I moved to Bismarck, my FFXI experience improved a ton, because there were more active players, less snobby players, and more NA/EU players than what I was accustomed to on Ramuh (and Phoenix, for that matter).

So, does a server's population make-up and culture make-or-break one's FFXI experience? No, probably not. However, server identity DOES play SOME role in each players' enjoyment of the game.

If I were on Odin, I would be a little miffed, for the reasons stated in the OP. Out of the 8 servers that will be receiving a huge influx of players, Odin has the largest already-existing population, so it will soon be the most-crowded server. Although, unless I'm mistaken, Odin has been one of the most-crowded servers throughout its existence, save the last year or so ... so it shouldn't really be a "new" feeling for Odin's vets. For what it's worth, at least here on AH.com, it seems there's a lot of good minds on Ifrit, so you'll be getting a good crop, Odin.

Deal with it?
