Need Help Advise !!

Im from Australia and currently im in Phoenix EU server, as i notice the upcoming EU server is going to happen on October. Now my question here is which server is the top for OCENIA players? I wanted to go Thornberry but its always full so i cannot create character!!!

So please let me know the next populated OCEANIA server


Thanks

Don't most Australians play on JP servers?

As I understand it server transfers aren't affected by population/character creation restrictions, so you can transfer onto a "full" server. If that's the case, just wait for the move and transfer off to Tonberry.

I have been trying to make a character on Tonberry for a while, and finally I managed to do it on Monday 12.40 am (GMT+3). Maybe it would work for you around that time too.

Only one I've heard of with a decent English speaking SEA-region population is Tonberry. Just try to get in during the off hours, or near the start/end of maintenance, or as others suggested, via transfer...

You can try a character transfer. I hear they bypass the lockout on full servers.

come to Tonberry, we have a healthy english speaking community.
why make a new character though?
isn't SE offering a free transfer to get out from EU servers?
or are those only for moving to NA servers?
if you still want to make a new character though, try making one when the time in Japan is midnight to early morning.
Or try making one when 5-10 minutes before maintenance starts. Save your appearance data so you can make it faster.
Good luck.

I've heard it both ways.
That they bypass and that they don't
I hear more successful transfers than not though.

Yes me and my wife will be transferring to Tonberry but before that i just want to see the % of population of SEA players since the server im in timezone has always been an issue.

I will apply to transfer world soon with my wife just got to sort out the money issue and etc.
Hope i can get transfer soon, cause i heard tonberry might not accept it

How do you know that things will be bad for you when servers are moved to EU?

I can confirm this, I had my alt transferred to Chocobo the other day, less than a minute to process.

Depends on where they host the servers. I don't know where OP lives in Australia, but Amsterdam which would probably be the best place to set up servers, incredible server infrastructure from what I've heard, and the difference between Melbourne and Amsterdam is 200 KM less than to Montreal (16,500 KM & 16,700 KM). But regardless, Japan is only 8000 KMish away and would be significantly better for any Australian player for latency.

Exactly what I was thinking. I believe they said they will have far better infrastructures in Europe but regardless I don't think his experience will get anywhere worse from what he's having now. Of course, changing servers to find people who play in your time zone is totally another thing.

Im in queensland nothing is wrong with Phoenix server just that when we log in our timezone and looking for pvp/raid party we have to wait nearly 30-50 min for a match.

Transfered twice here, even if the world is locked, you can transfer no problem in 1 minute as stated above.
