Regarding Results of Maintenance (Sep. 4): Follow-up

[AarosLunos]

So admittedly you are all dedicated to square and love them to death your just trying to be like the "cool" kids and say the game sucks, you hate square. Because thats the "cool" thing to do

I blame hipsters. . .lol

My annoyance is that Gilgamesh is already closed for new characters (along with a dozen or more other servers). My best friend was hoping to get on so we could play together; he tried a few minutes ago (on his lunch), about half an hour after it closed down again. Without server transfers, I can't go anywhere else (at least yet).

I haven't been able to try playing (at work on lunch break right now), so I can't comment on the other factors of the maintenance. This one's a biggie, though, and is likely going to continue the frustration for a lot of people. I remember seeing something about transfers being live Sunday, so here's hoping (I've got no one else on this server, so I have no problems taking my character somewhere else; I just need the option to do so).

You sound SO hurt. Q.Q all through this post.

lol no not hurt at all, just a game. I just don't throw away money spent 40 bucks on the game figure that's just a lil over a dollar a day for the 37 trial. So I am sticking it out for that getting what I feel my money is worth then more likely than not moving on.

however your awful quick to hop on the attack someone for there opinion bandwagon. Sure your not the one that's all distressed and hurt over this situation LMFAO what a goon!

I'm just wondering if its specific servers that are causing these new issues. I had logged in to the new server and had no issues (I know one example does not make all examples). So I wonder if its specific worlds or maybe just the old worlds which would mean they did something different to the new ones added. Or it could be the new worlds just havn't hit the magic number of people in them which would mean give a week or so and they too will see the errors.

Not even sure if they tried to fix any the existing issues. More likely than not they only had the maintenance to add new worlds. The purpose of new worlds to help with login issues?? No I don't think so at all, the only thing new worlds is so that they can sell more copies/digital downloads again. A scramble to make more money before the free trial is over and they end up 20k subscribers again.

Increasing the cap on server population and implementing a system where by the duty finder can now be horizontally scaled across groups of servers is far from doing nothing. They have acted accordingly by fixing the major issue holding them back. Fine tuning will follow. As with all other MMOs, you'll see gradual increases in stability over time.

Update on Character Creation, 20 worlds freed up, and are able to make characters now ( check OP for the worlds that you can't make Characters on)

The new severs likely have a lower population count *for now* so they probably won't have issues up until a certain point. I'm not sure if SE resumed digital download sales yet or not, that could be another factor.

No matter what side of the fence you are on, one thing rings clear.

Whenever you start to pay a subscription and can be told there are periods of the day you cannot log into your character, that should be the end of your subscription, end of story.

I laugh at the irrational whining and defending, but when it comes down to it, that is all anyone needs to know.

I love this game and will continue playing it as is, until it's time they want a subscription. I've got my 50$ worth having the game, and the option to return if it ever gets resolved passed the point I'm willing to give it.

They either need to add more servers and either hope people will balance it with free transfers, or force large FCs to migrate to the new ones, and I mean only ones large enough to where the location of server wouldn't matter (100+ members)

This pussyfooting around the real issues and being nice about it will get their PR no where and will solve nothing. The fact there are more accounts allowed per server than there are spots to play concurrently is a horrible design, and borderline greedy. There is no need to be allowed to create characters freely beyond 2-3 servers.
