When would worlds be opened up?

This post is just kinda me being impatient but also me being curious since I never really dealt with this before, but after the patch with the new MSQ and stuff I was gonna transfer my char over to Jenova but it was congested, so instead I just went on siren so I at least could be with my friends, and I had already abolished my house and apartment on the old world I was on so...I kinda gave up hope after that and just went on siren anyway lmao.

But like these same worlds have been congested for almost a month? I guess probably because of the new DC but I'm not entirely sure, and I know nobody else is 100% sure either, but I was just wondering if anyone might know how long it would take to open up the Congested worlds?

And I'm just being hella impatient right now and don't mind waiting, I just wish I knew how long I will have to wait lmaoo

I have been wanting to make an alt on Gilgamesh for several weeks and no matter the time I noticed that 3 servers on our DC are never open. Besides housing, one of my biggest gripes with a paid sub game.

The congested status is reviewed when there is a patch.

Gilgamesh is one of the most popular servers in the game and during Endwalker launched it proved to be the most congested of all the servers on Aether, because world visit queues started earlier on it than everywhere else.

Jenova is not always quite as congested in my experience, although it has that status right now. It does have some popular twitch streamers on it, so it is prone to becoming congested on that basis as well.

Even when servers don't have congested status, you still can't make a character on them if the server is effectively congested in a given moment, although you can do paid transfers to them when they don't have congested status.

So then would ones like the patch we had today count as that? (I'm pretty sure it was a patch anyway lmfao)

And yeah I haven't seen Jenova be congested in a while, it's just a bit frustrating I guess T_T

Population distribution is the name of the game at the moment. 4 more servers coming to Dynamis and 8 to the EU. You'll see more and more of congested servers as time goes by in my opinion.

Yeah probably, I just hope it doesn't take a really long time for them to open back up again.

At minimum, another 2 months most likely (6.35). Or 6.4. If things have stabilized enough in SEs mind.



Balmung was congested for 2 years straight I want to say.

I don't think any of y'all are being impatient about this. I've been waiting to transfer back to Mateus and join an fc some friends are in since late October.

Kinda defeats the point if everyone is desperate to get on the 'popular' servers.
Please kindly make a home on one of the empty worlds.

I think what people are mainly talking about here are them trying to play with their friends, not transferring just because, at least that's what I am talking about. I also don't really know how popular Jenova actually is, it's not like balmung or another big server like that...I don't think anyway lol

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Not gonna talk about why I had to transfer. I've made some good friends on Malboro, not trying to take anything away from them. I started on Mateus and I'd love to get back to the people there.

Yeah! I started on Zodiark and stayed there for many years and made many good friends there, but I also have good friends on Jenova that match up better with my play times I'm available, so I want to play with these friends more too! I still keep in contact with my friends from Zodiark still ofc

Yep, Balmung was Big-C Congested from basically the start of Stormblood until Shadowbringers launched. Having no gil seller spam because they were all banned and couldn't make more to spam up cities was really nice.

But yeah all the patches are going to be more major patches, the last ones were done at 6.3 and before that, on Halloween and on 10/18, which coincide with 6.25 and 6.28. They only happen when they see actual changes in server population, and they want to populate the new NA DCs. That'll only happen if the most populated are actually locked from being able to make characters on those servers. Whether this changes in a month and half when 6.35 or a little longer than 1.5mos when 6.38 hits, or when we get 6.4 we don't know. It'll happen when it happens.

I guess I picked a pretty bad time to make up my mind to transfer, but that's alright, I can still world travel and be with my friends so waiting a bit longer is ok, I'm just a bit of an impatient person lol
