expansion/combining servers???

[ravenraine]

I heard that when the expansion comes out that all the servers are going to be combined...is this official??? I am on 360 and my sister plays on the computer so it would be really cool if we could party up together...and...if this is true...are they working on the lag??? I will often lag when I am just running by myself and it truly sux...also...on the 360 it sometimes takes me up to 5 minutes to even log in...will they fix this as well???

No, no, and probably never.

[Menochi]

No.

Japan PC/PS2 has 2 servers, they are attempting to combine them into one now that the population has stabilized.
PC/PS2Eng and Xbox360 are not being combined, nor are there any plans to.

[HFlowen]

It would be cool to have alot of new people to play with. Granted, it would totally raep the economy.

Anyway, no, it wont happen.

[ravenraine]

ok...my husband told me this and i have NO idea where he got this information...thought he probably read it here but maybe he just made it up...I kinda thought it was not true cuz 360 is having so many log in problems now and combining even more players would probably totally short circuit the whole thing!!!:) But it would sorta be cool...my sister claims to be some bad ass on the puter so i would love to see her...haha...

Japan has two sets of servers for PC/Playstation 2 that will be integrated eventually. There has been no announcement about the local PC/PS2 or XBox 360 servers being combined.

And chances are they won't as microsoft won't link xbox live with another platform.

The reason it probably won't ever happen is because the 360 version was, from the outset, developed to be separate from the PC/PS2 version:

That is not a completely insurmountable issue, as Games for Windows Live and Final Fantasy XI Online show.

perhaps they may have thought about it; but realizing how increadibly f.cked tha 360 would be if this happened (economy wise); they said skrew it.

It's a shame there aren't more JP people on 360. That would be pretty sweet if we got the kind of volume JP PSU has.

People give ST too much credit to think that they care about messing up one server's economy, get over it.
