So it appears that everybody is happy about the idea of a megaserver. I'm still pretty sceptical. First of, in principle
it′s no different from having traditional servers, they only allow you to jump between them at will. Which makes the
game a lot more anonymous. Yes you will meet people and join a guild etc... But the feeling of knowing the people
and guilds in the world because you have grouped with them before adds a lot to the illusion a persistent world.
It also forces people to behave better as scammers and lootninjas will become known throughout the server.

As said before, we are free to switch between the phases of a megaserver. We are assigned to one with like-minded
people at the beginning on the basis of a questionnaire (Do you like to Raid? Do you like to PvP? How old are you?).
?Now I see the following problems:

-I could go through phases other than my homephase to scam people. I could also steal loot and simply switch phases
later on.

-By the sounds of it there will be phases less interested in PvP. What is to stop a PvP guild from just switching phases
and taking cyrodil in a low PvP phase? Messing up the non-hardcoe PvPers game?

-What about PvE? Open world bosses and public dungeons? Can I put together an elite raid and switch through all phases
to kill off every incarnation of a non-instanced boss?

-Will I have to go to low population phases if I want to farm ressources?

-If cyrodil holds 2000 people, there must be multiple cyrodils on this megaserver. Who is crowned emperor? The highest ranking
player across the megaserver? How does that work if the outcome in the different cyrodils differ? Or does every conquering of
cyrodil produce one emperor? So will there be a bunch of emperors be around at the same time?

I may add more later, bottom line though, I see a megaserver as being community breaking and exploitable.

Urrrm, I'm not sure where you've picked up this whole 'phase' talk from.
I'm pretty sure you just pick the way you want to play and it matches you with other people who want to play the same way, you can't just be a hardcoe PvP'er and choose to ambush weekend warrior servers.

I like the idea of the fact that there aren't any actual shards. Although the entire megaserver is made up of them, you just don't see it in game. I like that you can fill out a questionnaire to determine who you are placed with in the world.

No one really knows yet how phasing will work. It's one of those things we will just have to wait and see. It's quite possible the issue of not seeing your friend because they are in a different phase may be solved by grouping with them. I would be surprised if they didn't put in some sort of mechanism for preventing people from exploiting phasing.

And, of course, one of the main reasons for the phasing is so that you get to feel as though you are making a real change in the world which is a big thing for Elder Scrolls fans.

There are some that says everthing will work out and there are some that say Megaserer will fail.

The community is split in that topic, for me i dont like they idear of Megaserver, because ist not a Megaserver, you will have a lot of instances, its impossible to grow a healthy community out of this, there will be a lot of troll, ninjalooters and flamers, because they can just switch and nobody knowes them anymore.
