Would It Be Unethical For NA/EU Players To Transfer On Mass To Low Pop JP Servers?

[Caurcas]

Literally the title. Since they have so many standard and lower pop servers. That way we can actually play the game without a hours long queue.

Unethical? Absolutely not. Practical? Also absolutely not. But if you feel this is the right decision for you, then I wish you luck.

You want everyone to not only leave their houses and friends behind but also have massive latency?

Not necessarily. They could offer us free transfers to help even out the load instead of one region having normal queues with room to spare, while the other two suffer and are barely getting by.

If it woudnt be so expensiv or they offer it for free on overcrowded servers i would seriously thing about a transfer. Its common use in other mmos to offer free transfers regulary on extrem overcrowded to low pop worlds to help the overall perforfmance and reduce the login ques. I cant see why this shouldnt also be possible here.

[Catwho]

If they do manage to pull fresh servers out of their asses, they will likely offer free transfers at that point in time.

If you want to deal with huge latency and pay for the move yourself, then go for it. (Assuming world transfer service gets turned on.) Just know that you'll be back to PS3 era reaction times in most content.

Thank, i start on Ixion, 8 in queue, so nice !!!

It also might prompt SE to do more about the issues, given they only seem to respond when JP players get mad. NA/EU might as well not exist feedback wise. So we get the JP players mad and riled up with our presence.

They will never allow that.
The JP playerbase would be furious over it. I met players who are GLAD Oceania players will supposedly leave "their" servers.
And they priorititize what that portion of the fanbase prefers.
Always have been. Since 1.0.

Yeah but imagine the PR nightmare shutting it down would be. It would open up accusations of racism. It would give them bad press on almost as bad a level as Blizzard.
