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

Guys... chill out a little. As i say on my last post there is no way that all server are full on the same time if the amount of ppl don't increase. It must be a bug or a fail logic on the algorithm that calculate the amount of ppl. Wait for what SE will say about it.

The inactive characters don't count here. Why? I'm trowing some random numbers to make a point.

Lets start saying that every server have 1000 persons (active and inactive). SE for the merge add 1000 free slots on each server.

Then every server at the begging will have

Active + Inactive + Free
1000 + 1000 + 1000 = 3000 slots

That will mean that the between the 10 servers there are 20000 slots used and 10000 slots free. That amount can't change unless new ppl make an account and create a new character. If 1000 persons go to the lets said server 4, that will make that server full but will make the source servers open up the same amount of slots that characters leave them. So the balance of 2/3 overall must stay the same.

This is why i think the two next case are the most likely what are happening:

1. SE fuc'ked up the algorithm that calculate the space on each servers and its no taking account the amount of ppl that leave on each server.

2. A lot of ppl create an account and a character in the 2~3 hours that passed before the servers went full. (lol hard to believe).

So, again guys, chill out a little.

Who said there will be 1000 or even ANY open slots at all? SE actually said "some servers will close immediately after the merge option is open". I also remember a post saying SE was aiming for 2000 people on a server (this includes inactive people). Not sure if that was official or not, can't seem to find it.

I think it is more like this (numbers are just to explain, not real numbers):

Rabanastre has 1000 people, 400 active, 600 inactive.
Cornelia has 990 people, 400 active, 590 inactive.

Durandal, has room for 2000 people, 1190 are taken by inactive people, 800 by active, 10 open spots left.

I'm not even trying, you won. let's get back on topic ok?

just to clarify what you are sayuing to others since you have posted it in a way which is not how it was intended

that 2000 active players, was not "2000 active players per server" it was "2000 active players during peak hours ONLINE"

so i think you totaly misunderstood what they were aiming for

People on Wutai and Gyshal will automatically be transfered to Masamune yes? We don't have to apply for it?

In response to both of these: both of these concepts are pure speculation. It will be nice if we can get an idea of how the server limits and character totals were determined, but until then both of these arguments are really pointless as we don't have any idea if either one is even close to the truth or not.

Yes that is correct. you only have to apply if you want to change servers. This is why all the servers are full no one is wanting to change to ragnarok.

I said on the begging of the post that where random numbers that i came up to explain why is wrong that all servers are full... You should read a little before replying.

The open slots are the amount of ppl that can enter to the server before the limit is reached. There is no way that every server is on the limit after a few hours of allowing people move from one server to another, more if there is a new server that is totally empty.

It's the equivalent of an SE traffic jam, hope you brought a picnic because nobodies going anywhere.

Right: "We'll move inactive players or players who don't partake in the transfer process to a random server after all is said and done."

Wrong: "Ok ok we were wrong, we'll leave everyone where they are so they can come back to their friends and linkshells in a year, by the way servers will fill up quickly with this option."
