Limsa Lominsa and It's Biggest Problem.

[Grimmel]

Lower Limsa Lominsa has a growing population problem. I'm sure all of you have noticed on the higher populated realms how congested it gets around the Aetheryte. How it sometimes slows down systems and causes slow load ins.

Well look at it.. You choose to warp to Limsa Lominsa and what is right there, right at the Atheryte Shard? Auction Houses, Retainers, Vendors.

Limsa Lominsa has a serious population control problem and EVERYONE is in Limsa because of the above mentioned easy access. How many people do you see around the Ul'dah or Gridania Market Boards and Vendors? Definitely not as many as Limsa because as soon as you warp in; their they are, everything you need all in one convenient place.

This is a big problem for the higher population realms because Lower Limsa Lominsa is one of two of the most populated places on the server and it makes wanting to go there a pain.
Whether you have a quest turn in or need to get to a friends housing district; if you don't feel like walking into Limsa from one of it's outside zones, you have to warp in.. and let me say it's a clustered Hell In a Handbasket with AFK'ers, Crafters, Queuers, Marketboard Surfers, Retainer Checkers, Vendor Sellers, and people who generally run by to get from point A to B. And during the Holiday events the lag is even worse.. It's like I zoned into the Shroud zone that Odin is up in.

My proposal..Move the Limsa Lominsa Aetheryte to the After Castle in Upperdecks. You know that wonderful Location where you host the decorations for in game events near the Delivery moogle and calamity salvager? And move the Holiday locations down to where the Aetheryte used to stand. A 'simple' flip flop.

This change would help lighten the stress of connections some people have when they load into Limsa and would make them go to Limsa more often.
I know I'm one of those few who hate having to go to Limsa Lominsa because of all the lag and stress it lands my computer in, and my computers top notch; my connection? Not so much.

This might not even be a problem anymore come next spring if Ishgard becomes a decent hub city and all the new zones are located closer to it.

Ishgard will have the same problem if it has an aetheryte close to the market boards.

Mist plot 1 for life.

AH!

Yeah I guess that's possible too. Just have to hope some people will stick around in limsa for the salt life. Limsa really isn't a problem on my mid pop server and, I stay in mist most of the time anyway.

I remember Ul'Dah was the go-to place to be in 1.0. Now it's Limsa.
Maybe Gridania will be loved one day. One day...

I think It would be better to move the other aetherites closer to the vendors and market boards than to move the LL one away from them.

Ishgard will be completely destroyed.

Changing it makes shopping/repairing etc more of a pain for everyone and doesn't even fix your problem. Now uldah is crowded instead.
