Transfers are up!

[ignorant banter ]

i shall repeat : grow up, stop bitching, and try again. i know the definition of ignorance and it's writing bitchy comments too me because it doesn't understand the workings of servers used by game developers for multiplayer. its not that they wernt prepared the couldn't prepare no game to date has ever been prepared but being bitchy to them for a problem that couldnt have been countered is not the answer. the answer is be nice, polite, and patient. otherwise it's not gunna help oh and blunder: make serious mistake. if this is serious to you get a life.

Ok, so you're saying you are an expert when it comes to gaming servers. Answer me this then:

If they expected the right numbers but the servers couldn't support it, why adapt a "First Come First Serve" strategy? Why not make transfers out of one server at a time?

If the strain on the server was so clear and unavoidable, it's still a problem from choosing this strategy.

Why not make transfers out of one server at a time?

Your comment a bout why not make transfers one server at a time. The reasoning behind this is because if they did this those who are complaining in here would STILL be complaining if their server was not first and even more so if their server was last. You are always going to have those little cry babies that cant understand how a game works whether it be because they lack the brain power OR lack the will to understand so. I am sorry to those who are 40 year olds living in their basements complaining about the server transfer system being down but we are to blame just as much as SE. How many of you have been F5'ing the server trying to get it to work? This is counter productive to our goals and while it worked for some it is putting undue pressure on the server and in sense we are doing nothing more then breaking the system even more.

Allow me to reiterate to you: Blunders as there have been more then one.

Instead of doing a First Come first Serve policy, they could have done 1 server at a time. Oh look that solves the site congestion! Now who would have thought that possible? Not you for sure.

I also think that 30+ pages of people being aggravated accounts for a serious mistake.

Also you don't seem to know what ignorance is, considering ignorance is not writing bitchy comments to you. Nor is it what you said it was earlier.

Also as I said, contingency plans. Those are the plans you make when things don't go as planned. Aka "backup plan" to you. Which SE obviously didn't have.

But thanks for raging. Picking apart your defense of SE has been enjoyable, but I suppose that's why so many people are making comments towards you, because there's nothing to defend.

[Tupsi]

there's nothing to defend.

As the saying goes - speak with your money, if you really disapprove of this and "know that SE always messes up" why continue to support? I'm not trying to be mean or "negative" I'm just saying, I never supported Nexon because they're a horrendous money hungry company no matter how much I loved Maplestory back in the day.

I understand and I think we all know that the errors are being caused due to large amount of requests. That is the problem, even we knew that would happen. Just looking at what happened at Early Access, all the restrictions applied when creating characters, it was expected to be a huge load of requests.

So, I can't accept the excuse "due to large amount of requests" anymore, I'm sorry.

It sounds rude, but didn't Square Enix learn anything about the previous incidents (only in ARR)? Nothing at all?

Thanks for updating us, though. I appreciate it.

The problem with your line of thinking, is that some errors cannot ever be seen until the large amount of requests happen. You don't actually KNOW where something might break. Something you can predict will buckle under the strain, but some things, you just can't know.

Hey guys, I have a solution to this problem and others, something I like to call the "World Pass Reborn"!
The "World Pass Reborn" would, as Final Fantasy XI vets have probably surmised, allow its owner to transfer to another server!
There would be a few ways to acquire this in-game item:

You could buy it from an NPC for the low cost of more gil than you really want to spend or likely have at hand; probably you would have to scrounge for a few weeks to afford it. Thus this would also help fight mudflation!

It could drop from dungeon trash, which has the added benefit of encouraging players to kill all enemies. An increased chance to drop when a party member is doing the dungeon for the first time would help ensure veterans are kind to newbies.

It would also be a possible drop from fishing; this should help address complaints about fishing not being profitable.

Naturally, some will get their pass sooner than others, so the transfers will be staggered; since not everyone will be trying to transfer at the same time, everyone will be able to transfer successfully!

So what do you guys think?
