Petition to Terminate Restrictions on Transfer to “High Population” Servers

[Mychael612]

I'm just here with popcorn. I have an alt on Gilgamesh (which was created there, not transferred) and really don't see what the big deal is.

The big deal is that FCs cannot recruit new members. And not all FCs are just about running content. So people go to new servers, splitting the community rather than growing it.

That's funny because in my experience most of the Gilgamesh FCs were explicitly not recruiting, and those that were doing so had some pretty rigorous application processes in order to even get through the front door.

I was a member of a small FC created by a friend who also made an alt there, so it wasn't a big deal for me, but my GF actively went around looking for an FC that would be a good fit. Most were very exclusive and even the ones she joined didn't seem concerned about retention or recruitment. She actually ended up transferring her alt off the server. It was not a welcoming environment.

The server is already heavily populated. It there aren't any new people available now to join your FC, Then its most likely the case they everyone on your server already has a FC. You might be better off growing a FC on a different server. Less competition.
