Just give us Free World Transfers and we will play in any less populated world

All I know is I'm not paying for a server transfer, because they don't know how to design appropriate network measures. I would sooner not play at all. They need to unlock the servers, keep a queue, and/or offer free transfers to people so that people can play together. They can also add something akin to friend passes in Final Fantasy XI. This is a total and utter oversight on a whole other level.

Indeed. There was a brief moment saturday morning where we got one friend on, but we still have 4 guild-mates unable to get on Leviathan, on an overflow that's locked itself, and ZERO acknowledgement from SE

^ I wanna cry. I've been refreshing for two going on three days, but I think I'm wasting my time at this point because the server seems perma-locked.

No kidding, and that's exactly what I'm afraid of with our guild. We're a tight group but tempers run hot with messy MMO launches and not even being on the same server is a problem I haven't had to endure in over a decade of MMO launches. Even the FFXI system had a solution to this. THIS is a joke.

My hope is that restrictions get lifted for the official launch tomorrow (speaking of, any clue what time that is?)

Fingers crossed.

I really don't think the servers are full...if so this is not even launch so tomorrow and on will be far worse. They would have added new serves by now if it was because of full. The reason I believe is because we get no "CUE" which tells me there is more going on that we don't know of.

They blamed it on the lack of optimization with the NA/EU servers, since they aren't handling them personally. That seems to be their go to response to these situations. Place the blame on anyone but themselves, usually in the direction of North America. Game doesn't sell? It's north america's fault. Game doesn't work? North America!

And when a lot of people go the transfer route, how many weeks will your character be locked while the transfer character server gets overloaded? Maybe they will just throttle it to handle 1 transfer per day.

I am really trying to just laugh about all of this. But it gets harder.

No kidding. If things don't get miraculously fixed by tomorrow, this will end up as the worst MMO launch I've ever been a part of.

Overloads I get. That shit happens. But the lack of communication? These "sorry just deal with it" apologies? Not having functioning server queues? and really, not being able to play with my friends in an MMO?! why am I playing your game Square Enix? Please remind me.

I made three new characters. One on a US, one on an EU, and one on a JP server. None can log in. There are no empty servers.
