Are we going to get a word from SE for sitting in a 1 hour and 3 minute queue?

But it is a Japanese strategy of never saying no even when you mean no. Unfortunately, it doesn't account for the western idea of "it costs more so it must be better".

Better isn't necessarily the case. I'll cite myself. I transferred over because of friends, having no idea about anything except my friends were on Balmung and it was the RP server. Naturally, I am going to go where I have established friendships. Locking character creation on higher population servers only tells the average person they're trying to prop up dying servers. But with no incentives, few people were interested. That isn't on the players.

All of what you said is absolutely personal, which does make it on you. Your motivations for going there have nothing to do with the basic facts that they said the server was full, they discouraged you and even put a money barrier in your way. You went there of your own accord. If your friends were having a picnic in the middle of the burning forest and the ranger said, "You shouldn't go in there". Is it the Ranger's fault you did anyway? He can't stop you. it's a free country. He's sad that they found your body a week later, but he did warn you.

It is a problem because SE did not give people a reason to transfer. They needed incentives like uncap gil, full refund of housing and other things. Players do not know how much the server can and can't handle. we had no way of knowing it was "overburden" I is completely SE's fault for NOT DOING anything about it.

I mean besides the instances which are a problem for every server, Balmung has been perfectly stable so far and was at HW as well so the whole server is over burdened has yet to really be seen.

[Legewiel]

Some days ago you guys were making a fuss cause they blocked transfer to Balmung, now its their fault cause they didn't block transfer to Balmung.

... that has to be one of the worst analogy I've ever heard. You are equating a forest fire to transferring into a large server which still allowed people. A money barrier doesn't equate to the server is going to explode nor does it insinuating anything more than them wanting to fill other servers too. Put another way, it's an incentivize I wasn't interested in. Just like I have no interest in leaving now. A full server does not continuously allow people to pay their way in. When Balmung was full, they locked it.

I also like how you spin wanting to play with friends as a bad thing. On the one hand, play with people I know and where a particular hobby of mine popular or start by myself. Tough choice.

What could they say ?
Your on the most populated server, on pré-launch day and everyone is rushing to it, just....go to bed ? change server ? take a beer and chill out ?

[Paladinleeds]

No matter where they locate the servers, Balmung will always be to full, overcroweded and among the first ones suffering from lag and connection issues. Because its to freaking full and it doesnt matter wether its to full on the east cost, the west cost or deep within the south american dschungel.
I cant take complaints like this serious when they're coming from Balmung - you made your bed, now sleep in it.

I'm from Odin. I faced a 90 minute queue yesterday in the evening and a 60 minute queue in the morning shortly after the servers had come up for Early Access. It ain't just Balmung lol.

[Hamada]

Kind of drastic to change servers for a couple of a day of inconvenience

kind of drastic to say you upgraded servers and there is zero improvement and takes a step back with lag/ping issues.

It is not just inconvenience, it is unplayable. I do not pay SE to give me something unplayable.

[Hamada]

Can there be more incentives to transferring off congestive servers?
NO CAP for gil for moving off
better reimbursement for housing
THese queues are too long, SE had years during all HW to make a better system for relieving congested servers. We the players do not know how much a server can take why is filling it such a low cap anyway?


Today 843-444 queue in 35 minutes, these queues are too long!!!!
