Imagine any server merge or split without universal ID's. Especially with a cash shop. Are they going to give refunds if you bought the same skins on 2 or 3 servers because you played there for a while when your home server was packed?
Universal ID's are very logical. Take all your things with you when you move.
Shards have to exist because of server limits. The idea of Zones will not work for Planetside in any way. Been stated many times before in this thread, but the summary is because the territory you are fighting for cannot be different in each zone. TR win the base, they need to see this is theirs until the NC take it back.
I personally would like to see less shards and more continents or planets, but this will not happen right away until the Devs have more time. Eventually, as more continents are hand crafted, we will more and more be fighting on fewer shards as shards merge. I hope they do merge the close shards as more continents are discovered. Maybe even dozens of continents eventually as the game expands through space.
