Sever Problems start to a fix???????

Your still missing the point... inactive characters And Alts are taking up server space

Conditions Required to Apply for a World Transfer
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.
* To view and change subscription details, visit the Square Enix Account Management System and click Select Service on the left-hand menu, and then select FINAL FANTASY XIV.


ALTS OF ACTIVE ACCOUNTS.

Inactive characters are not taking up server space.

"quote from Yoshi...

Inactive characters/non-subscribers are also counted, but they are not factored into the maximum limit of active characters allocated to each server. "

My god... lol! Keep trying.

At this point you guys are just arguing semantics.

What you post does seem to pose a problem. If a good majority of people have one active character but created eight when the game was free on their account that is seven potential characters per person that are just taking up space, completely inactive accounts aside. In all likelihood, these are characters that will simply never be used again. Obviously these are being counted since people have been successful in moving them to open a slot and get their friends on their server.

Well if that is the case (which it might just be coincidence) then whatever but that is a seperate issue from what people like Coombah and the OP are advocating.

They want to ship anyone who does not have an active account to Ragnorak. But doing that woudl solve nothing since:

"Inactive characters/non-subscribers are also counted, but they are not factored into the maximum limit of active characters allocated to each server."

Yes we are arguing semantics. They misunderstand what the issue is, and as a result of that are advocating a dangerously stupid and unnecessary/ineffectual solution to the problem.

No one said they should be ship to Rag, I stated they should be put into a holding server and when they activate there account they can choose the new world of their choice depended on availability.

lol what's the difference. They aren't affecting the cap (as stated by SE). So why don't you just leave them alone.

If its not affecting the cap... then where exactly do the Inactive players end up at? Just curious... Inactive players player a role in Servers... Its either one or the other.. :/

Inactives players are just transferred on the new server of their original world but they'll keep sleeping somewhere without any influence on actives players...If inactive player become active, it will play on the server like every active player.

LOL Do you belive everything your told? SE also stated the game would be ready in Sept of 2010 to right? I think they do in fact affect the gap. I also feel inactive players shouldnt be considered in the process at all since they are not paying for the service. If and when their account becomes active again then their 2 cents would matter.

That's a much better position!

Ship inactive players off their servers anyways, because SE is probably lying to us and secretly counting them in the cap!

Thank god sleuths like you are here to uncover the real truth.

Look I can play your meme game too:

That's what I was thinking put Inactive Characters in a Holding Server in which when they activate there account again.. to just select a New World =). I Agree with you on this.. Not Delete them entirely no..because then the Customer would get highly ticked off.
