Hehe I was just gonna post that

Quote from the accompanying news:

- your starting server is completely random,

- that people must earn money in game to bring friends to their server by buying a World Pass,

- that the amount of money you need to earn depends on how populated your server is,

- that they aren't opening any new servers for the US launch which will inflate the price across the board,

- and that even once you do get a World Pass from a friend it doesn't let you bring an existing character, you have to create a new one who won't be of comparable level to the person that brought you over there in the first fucking place,

- the whole thing is stupid and I'm not their accountant, they can come up with some other way to load balance their servers if we're going to pay thirteen dollars a month for the privilege of frustration.

This only affects people wanting to start out as a guild/linkshell - new players comming to the game on friends advice should be ok as their friend will be well established.

When you create your char you can just keep deleting it and recreating to move to a different lower populated server, so it may not cost much at all.

Its not going to be as big a problem as everyone thought.
