For newer releases of DCs and servers in the future...

Maybe not in the first post, (though debatable with the "give priority to the people that are going to matter the most on those servers ") but then

Ah okay, yeah that could have been worded way more delicately.

The servers are down in maint, so no, no one can xfer since the from and to servers are offline.



Time for new server start is often prone to adjustment, delay or postponement. You cant "apply ahead of time" since you dont know what that time will be, also lets not forget what you get when you try "mass transfers."

Congestion and server instability, so thats a non starter.

What? We knew what date the server was gonna come online though. Even if it was pushed back you could just throw out those applications again.

I mean I'm not exactly asking this for myself considering I decided to wait on my transfer to Dynamis to figure out which server I wanted to jump into. By the time I bother transferring there probably won't be much of a wait.

I genuinely just wanted to provide an idea that could better what looked like a clunky system, and I don't particularly understand why I'm being demonized the way I am here. I'm sorry for whatever I've apparently done to most of you.

The reason is because of your phrasing more than anything imo. The idea behind having transfers being queued is fine on its own and I'm sure people would be willing to discuss the pros and cons of that like some have already been doing. What's pulled me specifically out from behind the curtain (cause I can't speak for others) is mainly this:

iI feel as if this would alleviate a lot of frustration and it would give priority to the people that are going to matter the most on those servers which are the people that want to move there, rather than the visitors or the fresh accounts.

And this:

For some reason people like yourself act as if you're being put down or told you don't matter when that's not the case. This is just simple logic.

Which, to me, is pretty contradictory to what you said in your first post by saying that the people that "matter most" will get first priority while new players and others don't matter the same and should just be locked out. Either way, someone has to matter the least or not at all.

There's also been some pretty rude things in a couple of your posts but since you were also being poked at by being called entitled, I can understand the immediate harsh reaction. However, it doesn't make anyone look good to lash out.

English isn't my first language so sometimes I word things poorly. I do feel like many people did however understand the concepts I put forth, they simply choose to interpret it in the worst way possible.

Also I feel as if I was baited because when you're repeatedly forced to try and re-explain or reiterate chances are your wording can shift and become even more open to interpretation. This gave people the chance to continue to misinterpret it and fling insults at me.

And yes, I know lashing out isn't pleasant, but it's backward to just sit there and let people freely snub you over and over again.

I take it you dont know Chief IT Tech Murphy, or his brother IT tech Finagle.

So was the announcement of the new DC going live two days ago done without the knowledge of the IT department? Because it's sounds like that's what you are saying.

Your original idea isn't bad though it does have flaws as some have pointed out. It's the attitude that transfers are somehow more important and even going so far as to suggest the servers should be locked to any existing player excited about starting fresh and being a newbie again (which my FC there has a LOT of) that is getting you some heat. No certain type of situation is more important or essential to the DC's success than anyone else.
