Server Lockouts are limiting the growth of this game.
Does anyone else feel like server lockouts are limiting the growth of this game?
I just had a friend try for two solid days to make a character on Behemoth on the Primal Data Center. Coming from WOW, he does not understand why this game needs this feature considering WOW has/had far This is a tremendous and unneeded barrier of entry into the game. No one wants to have to try this hard to start a character on the same server as a friend of theirs. No established player is going to want to pick up and leave all their other friends for a server transfer either.
If server population is too large, Square needs to upgrade servers and offer free transfers to lower population servers. The servers they currently use are very poor. (Try Interrupting a cast in this game vs WOW for example).
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and want this to change?
Why have a recruit a friend campaign and make it so hard to recruit a friend to play with you on the same server?
