Can we please get a dev comment about servers being full?

[Biggs]

Not sure what server you are going for a bunch of them have reopened, might wanna go have a look.

Buncha friends of mine are on Masamune, thats the one I am waiting for. My point is though, what could have been something simple, like logging in, picking the world I wanted, and moving on is now replaced with some shitty system where I get to hit refresh every few hours in hopes of going where I want to. And all because the server I want is currently 2 merged servers full of a bunch of assholes that arent even playing the game right now. This is totally top notch stuff here. Just checked the server page and 4 out of the total servers have limited space right now, the rest are closed.

I suppose my other question is, so next month, after everyone has moved and the server transfer is done, what happens to people that make brand new characters? Will they only be able to pick from 3 servers that arent full? Or, and this is what I suspect will be the case, will they be able to get on ANY one of these servers no problem, while those of us that have supported this game since launch get the shaft yet again? I have never seen any company, claim to stick by and support loyal customers while actually doing the complete opposite the entire time. Well done here SE. Kudos again!

Masamune is fluctuating between open and closed frequently right now. You could probably get in tonight if you're quick about it.

Which I am down with Sir, but sadly I am trying to make the trip with 3 Rl friends that aren't up right now. I get that thats an issue on my end, but still. I was all pumped after a shitty night at work to come home and knock this out easily, and like everything else to do with this game over the past year, its a cluster#%^$. I am sure we will work something out in the coming 3 weeks, its just one more hassle though I could have done without today. Heres to a good nights sleep and a better tomorrow. Cheers man.

um, you do realize you could apply for transfer now, and take it back ANY TIME YOU WANT before the 12th(i think it was the 12th) in case your friends dont make it in time right? no reason for you all to hold off until you can all do it at the exact same time

No, but thats handy to know. I just checked and it told me only 2 worlds have limited space now, and all but Ragnarok was closed lol. What a complete mess. It wouldnt Irk me as much if it wasnt for the fact that we know perfectly well there is way more space on these servers than what they have it capped at now.

Not if someone else takes your spot from where you left.

love how final fantasy xiv is so chaotic. does this mean that i pretty much have no choice but to stay on the default merged server or move to ragnarok?

Its looking that way to me too. I just checked today and it now says that every single server is full except Ragnarok. This has seriously been made complicated for no reason at all. Leave it to SE to finally give us something we have needed in a way that helps only about 10% of the people playing, and 90% of the people NOT playing.
