Balmung - Seriously need a better system then WORLD IS CLOSED constantly

[nuyu11]

I think If some item or mount are account wide, that should not be a problem.
Some veteran player would not change to the less populate server to play with their new friend and leave everything behind.
This game is nice and bit unique but got some drawback, there is no bubble chat.
World Of Warcraft got no issue with the server capacity, I'm expecting more from SE actually.

It's too long to read...
I'm start to enjoy my current server, but my main issue is latency, not try dungeons yet.
The only reason I want to go to Tonberry or Masamune is because for latency and I have friends there.

The definition u mention is a bit over in my opinion, maybe you're mad because you can't play in peace with all player walking around bugging your activity.

I'm trying to get on it because it seems the most active rp server. At 12pm UK time it wasn't open.

I'm able to create a character at Masamune, even I'm fail at Tonberry.
With full of patience I'm putting this whole week trying to get into Japanese Server.
My friend at Tonberry introduced me with some player at Masamune who is same country as me.
They add me into FC and link shell, I'm totally grateful that I go to Masamune.
I'm on the edge to quit this game actually, time zone difference on NA server is hard for me to find a friends.

This has become an exceedingly upsetting issue for my friends and I as well. We've been on Balmung since launch, and with all the new content being announced we have about 5 new players looking to join us on Balmung. I've had the Lodestone saved on my phone, checking every single interval that the character creation restriction page is updated as I can. Balmung has almost been closed solid for a month now according to the page.

You obviously can't pick up you company and move it with you, nor ask a dozen people to all pay 18 dollars to transfer elsewhere. So all we can do is sit around with our fingers crossed, apparently.

It seems about time that SE should consider offering free transfers to those who want to transfer off of some of the busiest servers like yours onto less crowded ones. After all, it would help not only players but SE themselves to have them balanced out better. And maybe without that $18 per person hurdle, it might become feasible for at least some groups to coordinate moves like that. (Housing would be an issue, though, as it's something you can't transfer with you.)

I stated earlier in this thread that other MMO's have done so from time to time too and would be a good thing to do alongside people using common sense in regards to not always trying to squeeze onto a single server which is clearly filled to the brim already which is why it is locked a lot of the time with people trying to find ways around that lockout to the detriment of server stability. So I am very much in favor of free transfers maybe one weekend per month or maybe an service event from time to time every few months which allows for it for a day or so now and again.

I concur. We need a free transfer! I played beta 1.0 and got pushed into Balmung. I didn't even ask to be on Balmung. It is now SO STUPIDLY crowded.

I'm Australian so I'm on at wierd hours for a US server but I still get queued. It's not my fault its overcrowded and I don't get to play often because of IRL commitments. So it is VERY annoying when I do have spare time but can't get in, or am in an instance and get booted to requeue! Also 0% housing.

A free transfer means my mates and I can all decide to jump ship together, its harder when you all need to commit to paying as well. And as an Aussie they force me to pay in Euro so anytime I use mogstation I get extra bank fees too.More people want in, I'm happy to move out if not costly. I'm sure others feel the same...

Unless they've decided to let us get so packed and angry that we all pay a mint to move!

I'd rather just quit then if it keeps being this bad : Getting very sick of indulging poor customer service.

I'm new to FF, and while not on Balmung, I'm on Gilgamesh, a server also highly populated. Especially right now. But there is something I fundamentally don't understand, and hope that someone can explain it to me.

I'm on Gilgamesh. I have a character there. However it didn't work out for me, and now I wish to create another character. As far as I know, there is no way to log into two characters at once on the same license.

So why can't I create a new character and log in? I already have a slot. What difference does it make what character I am on? I'm still only going to count for one place. :/ So, I made it on another server, away from my friends, and will have to pay $$ to get it there after 3 days. Sounds like a scam, unless I'm not understanding something.

Thank you for reading, and T.I.A. for any assistance.

Which service did you sign up for? They have a basic one that allows for only 1 character per server and then a full service where you can have up to 8 per server. From your description I'd guess the basic.
