Incentive to transfer must be increased

[Hyperia]

The 4,000 to 6,000 person, 4 to 5 hour queues will do the job on their own, no additional incentives are needed.

When Shirogane opens up, it will be a landrush regardless. So it's either put up with bad queues until the welcome back campaign stops (and hope the queues diminish at that point) or have entire FCs take a gamble at being homeless on a move.

Honestly the developers should have done the with Free Company transfer function along with housing at start. And also they should have more wards when they do this. They are never thinking this through properly.

Moved to Mateus this morning.

Incentive working confirmed

For any meaningful improvement, I feel that SE is going to have to force a split.

[AxlStream]

I just have one question and excuse my ignorance but wouldn't it be kind of counter intuitive for SE to actually assist the RP community? I don't want to bash RPers, far from that but RP is not an in-game specific experience. Why insist that SE opens up an RP tagged server? I don't think it's their role even though I see how this would herd the RP community into 1 place (although I don't think it would for other reasons but that's neither here or there).

[Freyar]

I would prefer we stop with the RP server tags. In the end, everyone playing on this server has this problem so we need solutions that are fair enough to RPers and nonRPers both.

I get why the incentives wouldn't be worth it for people with a load of established connections, a house, or the like. For my wife and I though? The moment we saw a login queue on Balmung of 7488, those incentives suddenly looked really good. When every instance I entered booted me out, they looked positively irresistible.

I'll miss my old FC, Lucky Succors are the best, but I won't miss not being able to play the game reliably.

I agree that the economy on the smaller servers isn't as good, but materials sell better and for more and there are open housing plots. So for a non-rper who is also a filthy casual, I can live with it.

People who don't want to transfer off Balmung have zero right to complain about queue times, period. It's ridiculous to think that you're a special snowflake who's "been there since the start so I deserve to stay" Things change. You have friends? Add them on facebook and keep in touch while you move to a server that actually allows you to play the game.

Every server has been having problems. The entire EU data center had 2 days in a row where the instance servers were completely down. Big whoop.

[Freyar]

People who don't want to transfer off Balmung have zero right to complain about queue times, period. whoop.

Except they combined two servers at 2.0 and kept transfers open by paying money.

Except they combined two servers at 2.0 and kept transfers open by paying money.

And they are now providing a solution at no monetary cost to the player. Transfer to deal with the queues....
