[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[dododogu]

Any hardcore roleplayer is not about to quit over a world inconvenience/house. You not about to uninstall and go 3 years without roleplay over no 10-25mil and making an alt. You want to give up years of writing, story, and friendships over less than a week of work, you never part of the community to begin with.

Get over yourself get over yourself!! Why are you trying to one up yourself to everyone on this forum by saying "Oh, I knew venue owners back in 2019!" or "I'm a landlord in an MMO and own an entire housing district" when all the stuff you're saying is literal loser stuff! Like, why would anyone care about how much gil you have. Nobody CARES! Nobody is impressed!! Not a single person has gone "Oh wow that's cool. Wow, you're a real cool Gamer. You're real cool for having so much gil and properties that don't translate into anything worth realistic monetary value." We just want to play with our friends!!
I don't know why you're acting like you're involved in the RP community and events when I don't see you or your 24+ service accounts that you paid $1000 to play on (Absolutely Wild) at any events, in any discords, or even out and about roleplaying with people in the wild! Not everyone has as much free time as you (god forbid people have a life outside of this game) to level up an entirely new character to roleplay on, on multiple servers just so they can RP with their friends on a different data center. Not everyone wants to pay money for a level skip either.

There are people in this thread that have been pillars to the RP community as of late, and have contributed more than you have, and I know that for a fact. The fact that you don't even recognize who's who says enough, even though you're acting like you know what happens in every little community in this game. None of the people here are talking about DJ night club venues when they talk about RP venues. They're talking about actual, in-game, overworld RP.

DC travel opened up a lot of opportunities for people that otherwise wouldn't have gotten involved in RP because there weren't as many events or meeting places on their server or just didn't know it was a thing in general. The way things are messes up the past few years of hard community building, so of course people can't help but be frustrated and feel demotivated.

You are not contributing anything useful to this conversation. You are just talking down to people for wanting to hang out and play with their friends on other servers. You should go back to making videos about venue drama nobody cares about, or make actual friends and talk to people that aren't your 108 twitter bot followers. I don't know, man.

Rp community will survive this its not the end of the world.

Sorry, but who are you again?

Before I start a list of connections, just in case you've moved like I have and there's any names that would stand out I could mention immediately, what year did your venue start on what data center?

It's poorly thought out. I'm a Crystal native and I can't visit Balmung except during off off times. It was fine, virtually no queue, during launch. Is this really just out of DC people afking on Balmung to the point of locking Crystal residents out? We can't do hunts, check MB, visit friends, etc, etc. If they're hard set on keeping this godawful implementation, they should at least prioritize people from the DC the world is on.

Easy answer at least in my case: Allow us to transfer our 1 man 11 year old FC to any server we want to be on just like WoW and the other MMOs - Hell SWTOR does it with gusto and that damn thing barely has the same kind of funding as Squeenix =\

Players have been asking for such a feature for as long I can remeber. Dont remeber if SE as ever give n an answer on the matter. But can be added to the list of things they drag their feet on.

While we can get in a internet grandstanding contest it doesn't exactly matter in the end. What I am currently doing, is something I've been doing since 1.0 on Besaid until now.

The thing about community work, is that we work as a community. Which seems to be something you're not understanding here.

While I've run venues that are still going. I have more so grown with the trends/time and love of the community, I frankly put more effort into the actual community of people and give back my time, effort and knowledge as well as my housing spaces, gil, decor, event running skills and etc for people starting up or in need of assistance. Because more recently half their venue staff can't make it due to, DC Travel. Which the way the currently restrictions are are 100% an issue and annoyance for this. And put a hamper in the creative community spaces and venue growth.

You're not really contributing much to anything here, both in the community, the game or this forum post. And i'm very sorry you clearly seem to conflating your worth to your ingame money/housing and ability to have multiple alts also with money/housing. I feel you could be worth more if you weren't whatever this is for you.

I read the reply to my post and immediately rolled my eyes so hard I nearly died, so I won't be dignifying it or any followups with a response.

I'd suggest we all just ignore the loud contrarian and focus on our complaints directed to SE and other relevant conversations, in no small part because it'll frustrate the hell out of said squawker.

Read this post and some of your others. I understand your annoyance and share it a little. And dont blame you at all if you are worried that this will go down how the Balmung lockdown went.
