Thinking over how Megaservers will happen I began to suspect that as soon as they drop they would be unstable or not working exactly as inteded ie, people not having their characters right away etc. It wouldnt be suprising when you consider that entire server populations are being fitted together. Everyone playing now and everyone that has quit and everyone who is just waiting and all of their mains and alts and plots are getting moved at once, probably. I see a few scenarios in the near future and wanted to see what everyone thought about some possible better ways.
 
1. Most likely to happen, Megaservers hit us like christmas morning. Everything happens at once, smaller gifts get lost in piles of discarded wrapping paper and nobody remembered to buy batteries so half the drop doesn't work.
 
2. Free character transfers to...the Megaserver! Don't take away all the other servers right away. Give players a two week(ish) timeline to transfer from their home server to their new one. This is most convenient for everyone. The players, since they can transfer some charactes over at a time and guilds can keep the wheels turning on their groups making a minimal impact on their playtime. Carbine might enjoy it since it would spread the work out a bit instead of taking it all in one sitting, ALSO, we would be left with a pool of inactive accounts after the deadline that can be transfered at convenience without worrying about people getting upset.
 
I hope some combination of the second one happens but often its number 1 that hits the fan. thanks for reading!
