Aether Data Center Down

[AzakaTonnerre]

Except that your "nuisance times" start taking down the whole data center and affecting thousands of players on different worlds. Your "great server" means nothing to me and can shut down for all I care if I have to keep entering in a one-time password every few seconds in the hope one your ilk decide to call it a day and free up a body on the data center. It's too big and it needs to be dealt with.

We had nothing to do with any decision of locking us from transferring off the server at 2.0 launch, the issues with transferring afterwards (gil, friends, etc.) or what datacenter Balmung was put on. We can't log on either because of the way this is/was being handled by SE. I get your frustrations, but point them elsewhere.

It continues! Stuck with 2002's again

Same here :/

Look. I've been trying now for over 2.5 hours. When I get past the lobby errors, I get stuck in a World is currently full. Players in queue: ###. The number doesn't change and I stay there refreshing for over 20min until I get another round of lobby errors. This is during early access; what will I be doing when the expac is actually released?

They could also promote the free transfers by sweetening the deal with virtual swag. Like if your entire Free Company moves, they get a huge discount on buying a plot plus various XP goodies, consumables, etc.

Edit: Best promo ever: Give transferring players a free level boost to 50 on whatever class they want provided they have completed the 2.0 main story. By virtue of that, they should already have a lvl 50 character, so no big deal.

The problem is people wouldn't want to recreate their entire fc, especially with thing like airships.

I never got to see the company airships before I left. Maybe give them a free airship?

They're not bought, they're crafted.

Another option for addressing this issue that wouldn't require any restructuring of the network would be to allow people free transfers off of those worlds, prevent transfers to them, and possibly even a long-term lockdown of character creation on them. I know all of my friends would have no problem free transferring off Gilgamesh onto one of the smaller worlds.

this would work, most likely.
