Servers are full. Grats JP/GMT players. NA = Screwed.

Got in from work, only server left is Ragnarok.

...This was well planned, hurr

I'm GMT but even finishing work at 3:30pm there was no way in hell I could have got onto any other server.

But what about the children?! Won't someone please think about the children!

DUDE STOP TALKING IF YOU DON'T KNOW...

Read my post first, if you don't understand it, i'll give you a nice analogy so you can.

Imagine that you have 10 cups of water, all half full with water. If you want you can pass the water from one to another cup giving you 1 cup full of water, 8 cups with half and 1 empty. If you keep doing that you will have 5 cups full and 5 empty. The amount of water didn't change, you just move it from cups.

Thats what we should have on the server transfer, but for a unknown reason, we have all the "cups" full. Thats why i and at least Kiote think that when they move the "water" from one "cup" to another "cup" they didn't remove the "water" of the first "cup", then creating more water of nowhere.

If you want replace cup with servers and water with people.

"Troll", because I wasn't the one who cried about an obvious better solution to this to avoid this particular solution? Just because you're mad doesn't make me a troll.

1st) I blame the Chinese. They filled the new servers with their RMT Bots at 12:01 AM. ;>P

2nd) I also blame the folks with 15 inactive alts attached to their accounts.

3rd) I blame SE for creating this mess in the 1st place. They should just forcibly move everyone to their new world, then after the merge they could accept World Transfer Applications. Trying to handle applications and merges at the same time is insane.

Wrote myself a short program to fix this problem in c++. I will be clicking apply every 3 seconds for the next 12 days, if I still don't manage to get my server then SE can have their game back. No way I'm getting stuck in the roleplay server.

What's the problem here ?

Current situation: half empty servers

Future situation: More people in your server

Why are you whining ? Some people were able to transfer worlds for free, congrats to them, some were not. So ?

It's still an improvement over the current situation.

Good for you, that doesn't make me a troll though. It's also not a "I told you so", it's as plain as day that complaining about SE "messing up" isn't the case here.

Also you can't necro a thread that was already bumped, by the way. So if anything you are mad or you wouldn't have called someone a troll, now would you?

Good luck with that but i guess that it will stay the same until SE do something about it.

Everyone knows it would be "you're" and not "your". So I suppose trolling complete? Since you know, being mad about truth is the M.O of this forum and thus makes you a troll or white knight.

By the way, I thought I was a White Knight because I didn't cry about option 4? What happened to that?

Yeah thats more like it, right now im in a good end game ls and lots of friends in rabanastre, ill use this months to see how's the server and if i dont like it ill pay to be transfered

iirc SE did state there will be free transfers for sure in 2.0.

Firstly, let me apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused. In regards to the situation where multiple Worlds are showing as full, I wanted to let you all know that the population data on Lodestone is not shown in real time, and actually updates a few times throughout the day. Worlds that show as being full now, may not be later in the day. That said, we would ask that you please check back periodically to see whether or not the World you wish to transfer to is open.

W00t! I knew it could not have filled up that fast.

Maybe your confusing me with someone else, I did not ask for inactives to stay... that is a choice they made. I just want to change servers with my friends, and now some are there and others cannot join them.

I am thinking they are going to open slots slowly, but most of this issue, is marking Ragnarok as EU server.. preventing most from even wanting to go/be there if they aren't within those time slots. This was bad for all of us, now most of use are avoiding that server if we aren't in the EU.

SO, Waking up at 6a.m. to get my server pick, and paying my mule account to active yesterday to end up having to check back throughout the day in hopes of getting into a server I wanted to go to is fair now? In fact all servers were locked, I dont have an LS or friends I want to stay with, and i 100% want to get away from everyone on my server.
Biatch, I got to work.

They said it's updated throughout the day, but the fact a lot of servers capped out instantly is because of inactive people. Also "you" is used as a general term, not specifically talking about you.

Hell I think even EU are avoiding Ragnarok lol.

You just win this thread with that gif lmao

Your analogy doesn't exactly work. You forgot that three servers started with OVER 100% capacity off the get go.

When people moved off these particular 3 servers, no new spaces were made (or empty cups). Whats happening besides the lodestone delaying updates is that when people from those 3 servers move off they are slowly (or well it was rather quick wasn't it) filling up the "almost full" servers that were at 9.8 cups of water / 10.

Most spaces that open up in this merger are going to be from people moving to Ragnarok; the rest of the moves just evened out the rest of the servers.

If your LS is split currently, it might be an idea to just choose to go to Ragnarok since its probably going to have open spaces for quite some time.

So the server merger thing seems a bit... messed up. It does seem to me that there are really not enough open spaces on the servers to allow for the effective shuffling of accounts. But! I have faith SE sees this by the load of comments generated in just a few hours. Luckily, there is time to fix the transfer issue. It seems they have successfully populated all the new servers, though ^^;.

PS- Having players check back periodically for openings won't work. This is an MMO and people would like to transfer together. It would be horrible to split friends up. If the goal was just to combine servers they should have left it at that and not offered the transfers. Please expand on the server caps for phase I.

if you wanted to stay together, you copuld, i dont know, NOT MOVE and still be together

I think that server Jumping breaks game immersion.

(I'm sorry, I do feel for those Linkshells stuck in server merge limbo. It could have easily been ours)

Those of us just staying and are active don't have to do anything right? I figured. I think that the servers are full right now due to JP and EU switching, but if Ragnarok is the only one free, it means NA people who want to switch have to wait till sufficient EU people move to Ragnarok if they do, the transfer is open till March 13th. Interesting to see how the population pans out.

Thank you Elexia for fast reply, I've been reading everything and keeping updated, but I get paranoid that I'm a total loser idiot that reads wrong idk why.

Edit: also /welcome to the few NA's that got into Ridill as of now, look forward to seeing you! Maybe we can smash ifrit together with our new jobs!^^

Yes, you won't have to do anything.

Ugh please don't lol.

even if they did re open transfer i think with linkshell trying to move this will cause more of a logisitic hassle than anything.

thats what I read from the looks of it they were instantly full within minutes.
