1) Is anyone planning on emigrating from Shiva? If so, why?
2) How quickly will Bobbyjai fill out his application? Humorous answers are acceptable.
I see someone else is numbering themselves too. ^^
1.) I seriously contemplated it but like you I don't really want to leave the few good friends I have ingame. So I thought up an alternative of sending a mule and lvling it on the new server. Reason being the obvious attractions (virgin territory and all it's spoils ^^). I am still thinking about it though cause it would create some logistical issues I will need to resolve. Come to think of it, I will probably do it. FYI but the character I will be sending is Ceraphini (Mithra) if you are interested in sending a /tell in game. The reason I don't shift everything is simple. There is advantages to there being a preestablished AH. Everything is already on the market that can be on the market. You don't have to run around killing whatever nm/mob and/or raise your crafting skills to make what you want. There are already countless people to form parties with. I know many complain about having to wait hours at higher lvls on Shiva but the same will be so for lower lvls initially. Plus if you world shift a higher lvl character? /cringes
2.) I am sure this new server will have it's own european variety of scam artists and rude people. No need for Bobbyjai to try to fill the void; so to speak.
Additional Notes The only thing that really concerns me is the time zones. I live on the West Coast (Washington State, USA) and the other players will primarily be European. I am kind of wondering how hard it will be to game on the server (i.e. will I be gaming during the EU midnight).

I actually plan on leaving Shiva for some other server. I just cant stand all the players and all the bullsh*t that goes on here anymore. Not to mention our outragous AH prices mainly driven by the greedy jp whores who think this is RL economy.
1.) You think that the new worlds are going to be Japanese Player free? How do you think they showed up on 'our' servers? They had their own when the game was initially created and then SE created more for the NA release. Then (I believe) they created more for the PS2 release... and now they are creating 'more' for the EU release.
2.) ******** is everywhere. The new servers may be free of ******** for a while but given time it will be there too. What are you going to do then? hope for more worlds to be created?
3.) The AH
is a real economy. If you understand the basic laws of economics you should understand that. For instance, there is no real economic difference from you complaining about the price for Chainmail and someone else complaining about the prices of perscription drugs. The only real difference is that in RL people can become Democrates and try to vote in Socialistic policies that has the government provide hand-outs for everything... instead in FFXI SE is the 'only' political party and they say 'tough toenails taranchella breath'; deal with it.
Plus! suggesting that only Japanese players treat it as a real economy and that
all Japanese players are greedy is obviously a steriotype that you have created; and are forwarding as an actual factual concept. Which is erroneous concept in more ways than one.
