Servers are full. Grats JP/GMT players. NA = Screwed.

I am pretty much 100% convinced the thing is broken.

It makes no sense logically for all of them to be full, where did all the magic players come to fill up all open slots?

Considering if you Leave 1 server to go somewhere else, you leave a open slot behind, there would always be this case with movements.

Unless "staying put" uses a free slot which is just dumb.

Also considering some moved to Rag, who filled up all their slots?

The person posting about it going -0 +1 instead of -1 +1 makes sense.

Thing you might be forgetting is mules. such as I only have 2 chars active (1 on each account) but i have 7 chars in all and was able to move all of them. pretty sure quite a few have inactive mules which could be altering the numbers.

Mules dont move, you need to pay for the character to move it.

They should have

Number of Current ACTIVE+INACTIVE accounts + Free Slots

The Active people not moving and inactive which cannot move, are a variable on their own. They should have been already calculated, which makes sense because by default you are set to your own server.

I am not forgetting inactive characters but they cannot move. Your 2 inactive characters dont affect "Free Slots" if they have already be accounted for.

I figured that SE set a player threshold for each server such as > 3000 or something of that nature. If server A has 3500 people, and only 200 want to move to servers BCDE, then server A would still report as full. This creates a balance among the servers so they don't become heavier than one another.

This would be true if they did not ALL (almost -2) report full

Server A = 3000, 500 leave, server A on 2500 but still considered full
Server B = 2000, Players from A(500) and C(500) go to B making it 3000.

Now Server B is on 3000
Server A is on 2500

Both are being classed as full, when 1 is not, thus has a server imbalance

I can only see it being true if they are hoping more move to Ragnarok/Ridill, tho i think Ridill is fine.

"To apply for a World transfer, an existing playable character must be associated with a player's service account. As long as a player has at least one usable character, a destination World may be chosen for all characters in the service account, including characters that have not yet been paid for."

Yes they do move. Sorce:http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...c7c72707574cb8

Regardless, that even benefits my argument more, you move a mule it should free up the slot the mule took up, which it is not, it classed as an inactive character which is what they should have automatically calculated for.

I blame the Ragnarok Server and SE claiming it will be European Server, most want to avoid this server because if no one is on at the times you play it will feel dead.

Most players, even EU players are avoiding this server also.

I am not willing to go there because of that chance.

I blame the Ragnarok Server and SE claiming it will be European Server.

They never claimed anything like that, they said "Recommended for EU", which is not the same thing.

Also, not all EU player are avoiding Ragnarok. A good amount of EU population will move.

I do think SE maybe needs to auto-force some VERY OLD accounts into limbo.. where once they come back.. they have server choice again. What I feel would be a VERY OLD account, would be anyone who has not logged in, in over a year.

This would free up spaces for active players, and keep those who might be taking a small break. Usually you can consider at 1 year, they have forgotten about FFXIV.

Part of my LS was planning a move, and I wakeup 4 hours after the merge starts, and the only 2 servers left, I have no interest in. I sure hope we don't get split up.

SE/Devs PLEASE INCREASE THE ACCOUNT CAP PER SERVER SO WE HAVE CHOICES!

Just remember this was one of the cons of using option 2, we were all made aware of it. As a community we chose this method.

Then again perhaps SE set the threshold a little low for the server merges, since now every server minus Ragnarok is full.
