Area population cap limits!

Area population cap limits are the most annoying thing ever am now trapped in my inn room and can not get out?

So are you telling me I can not play until a space opens outside in the city?

So am paying subs to sit in my room and do nothing?

who thought this was a good idea? If anything overflow maps should be put in place to stop the problems and allow people to keep playing. This has blocked me out of the game and am sure its stopping people from going to high level areas as well.

This needs to be sorted out soon I would like to play the game again.

:mad:

Have ya tried to tele anywhere?

you can teleport out, but im suprised at this as well. Hyperion is the most crowded server right now, but still- There is no combat for the most part in the cities, so one would expect a higher limit in those areas given that those are population centers to begin with.

Yup... And this is why it was a horrible solution.

And to think people were trying to tell legacy players to just get their friends to transfer to legacy worlds.

I cant teleport to areas i want to go to....
Also i have used return but it does not take me there due to the fact the map being full
the high areas i normally go to like mor dhona are full so i can not get the best out of my time playing online
Worst thing is i CANT level up if i can not get on to the map

They need to revert this ridiculous change, it makes the game unplayable at peak hours for many people.
They need a real solution, they need better servers, or have an "overflow" for each area like GW2 had, I'd even be ok if overflow didn't have the fates spawn, at least you can farm the mobs you need and/or do the quests you need to do.

They really need to. Gw2 overflow system works really well and is useful unlike this what they have done to final lately......

You can not use teleport inside an inn room.

Bad troll post is bad. There's no way that New Gridania has so many people in it that you can't leave your inn room lol

why not spread the main cities over a few in server "channels" like many MMO's do, same server, same area, but you dont have to load EVERY player to the same instance.

Am in ul'dah....and why would i need to be in or go to new gridania?
Am not leveling up in new gridania XD

There's a seasonal event going on right now so cities are more crowded than average.

I totally understand trying to keep the behemoth/odin situation under control, but the city zones should not be having these limits. The level of actions performed/activity in general is lower in these areas, so they should be able to handle more people.

Q: Regarding Odin/Behemoth FATEs and server crashes

A: In FFXIV: ARR the maps are made up of 8-meter grids. In a single grid, we've set it to display a maximum of 100 players. When this grid contains more than the maximum number of players, there are cases where players and monsters do not appear. In order to address this, we will be managing the display priorities for the entire zone, and when special content like Odin and Behemoth FATEs occur, we make adjustments so that the process prioritizes this so that normal play conditions are possible. We will be making this adjustment in patch 2.1.

I underlined the relevant part.

Not to mention the large amount of crafters in the cites.

That doesn't meant he population caps will be removed at that time. the passage you're citing is about number of displayed characters, not total number of characters in a zone.

Over flow was absolute garbage in GW2. "Oh hey the areas full? Here go to a random over flow that could either have almost just as many people and your friends or you might end up on this baren wasteland of an overflow without your friends"

Channels are certainly far better than overflow.
