Aether Data Center Down

[Raikki]

1) implement proper login queues that don't require repeated attempts and re-launching the game over and over again
2) make it (MUCH) more attractive for people to transfer off high pop servers
3) rebalance Aether and Primal

All of these things really need to be done.

2) make it (MUCH) more attractive for people to transfer off high pop servers

Variable sub rates based on server population.

I'm not usually a "Let the invisible hand of the market beat the crap out of you" kinda guy, but make it more expensive to play on fuller servers, and cheaper to play on less-populated servers. Or give people time credit for transferring off. None of this "Normally we'd charge you to execute a couple SQL statements, but I guess this time we'll give it a pass" business.

Incentivize population balancing, don't just say "Well, if you can endure the gross inconvenience of having to move a chunk of people off, we won't charge you for the privilege" kinda thing.
