@Aeni

To basically sum things up, it seems Durandal is the new destination (assuming people can still get on there)--as of this message, all worlds are closed except Ragnarok. I love how SE is making this process so difficult--they really need to stop worry about "Oh noes, what if we get 1,000,000 subscribers in a year!?" They need to worry about the now, and assess on letting people play on the server they want. Server merging and transfers should be a small problem for any MMO company in 2012, and they're really making this process far too difficult.

Every chance I've looked the servers are closed (except for Ragnarok) and when I'm not home it's available. This is too much work and too much of a headache to make it all work. I've suggested Ragnarok since it makes the most sense and looking at the forums, both JP and NA players (most importantly, whole LSs) are now reluctantly moving to Ragnarok. Ragnarok was the first server to go live in FFXI (alpha/beta testing) and the most populated with JP players at the time, so I don't doubt some of the JP players will gravitate to it just because of the nostalgic value that it has (again, none of these things are accidental -- SE is intentionally creating this fiasco)

But it's up to you ... just so you know, I'm either moving to Excalibur by default (not moving at all) or going to Ragnarok if there's enough players here willing to do so. I cannot spend every hour for the next few days checking the transfer status to see if Durandal (which seems to be one of the more overly popular choice -- read the official forums) will ever be open in a 5 minute window.

Just visited the Japanese forums and immediately found this thread: みんな！ラグナãƒã‚¯ã«ã„こう！ Read through it and seems a good amount of JP are going, at least. I'll change my vote in the previous thread to a yes. So, I guess, it just comes down to what everyone else is doing. My only reservation is that SE touted it as an "EU server." Why they didn't just say it's a brand new server to move to, I have no idea.

Re: OFFICIAL Poll for the New Servers

They only said it was the suggested server, but that it would be open for everyone.

It makes sense to go there right now. But they could've handled things way better. <_<;

Hopefully it will still be open when I get home in 2 hours. With my luck it may be already closed.

Re: OFFICIAL Poll for the New Servers

So I guess we gotta bite the bullet and go for Ragnarok. At least it has the best name of all of them.
