Server Instability Beginning to show on Balmung

[Felis]

But Omega is a EU server, why someone for NA will go there?

There will be other designated severs

Current Status of High Population/Designated Worlds

* World population status will be announced following the commencement of maintenance for the release of 4.0.

I've been on all day and I've yet to even have lag spikes.

My FC is transfering off as soon as we can lol. Thats part of the reason why :P

You're IRL location can affect lag, too.

But yeah, asking someone to pack up to a newer, more stable server after being established for that long on the overpopulated one is a hard deal. My server is smaller to mid-sized, so I'm expecting on influx of players if these free tranfers hit us.

I predict balmung won't be A playable server on day 1.

[Roda]

I've been seeing stutters, but, mine at least, seem to be coming from the server being moved an entire continent away from me, more than population issues since it's more a consistent lag instead of huge spikes in packet loss during peak hours.

Tho I have been getting 90ks on zone transitions, but that's been going on for months.

Solution: Mandatory transfers off of high pop servers.

Before you complain you'll understand that I play on mateus, one of the unfortunate servers that's has to suffer data center reboots and maintenance because of the stupidly high congestion on BOTH Balmung AND Gilgamesh. A lot of the other servers are small yes, but that does not change the fact that we are subjugated to downtime forced upon us because of those two servers.

You lose literally nothing and perhaps even gain stuff by transferring off. The fee is waved and you can transfer all your gil and you're given a 100% housing refund plus an extra for lost furnishing.

You can't even use the "friends" excuse because ALL transfers AWAY FROM these servers is free. Who cares if there's not labels on servers? People will always hate on something.

If people ignore this golden opportunity I propose that high pop servers have their monthly sub increased by 25% to compensate for all the inconvenience for the rest of the data centers and extra maintenance these servers require.

I haven't been having any issues with the server.

But I moved to Balmung specifically because it had a large RP community.
