Way is it always Aether?

Why can't you guys get this one data center straight!?! I can connect to any of the other data centers but Aether regularly give me lobby errors, connection issues, kicks me out of the game.

Because all the redditors decided to join the same DC as the RPers, thus causing the 2 most populated servers (who frequently have a max number of live connections active) to exist on the same DC, thus dragging all the other servers down with them as they continue to flood the market with bodies.

To alleviate this issue that the playerbase created, Gilgamesh and Balmung would have to be 100% closed off to all new creations and inbound server transfers, while SE allows free outbound server transfers to the 5 least populated servers. Another solution would be to move either Gilagmesh or Balmung's entire population to the Primal DC, freeing up resources in Aether.

I'm on Zelara here (formerly Balmung but moved due to sorry state of housing), and can't log in either. It's pretty bad.

What they need to do is create a server which is -actually- considered the RP server, not just unofficially, and let people freely move there from all servers as well as free outbound server transfers to from any top 5 server to -any- server other than the top 5. That would at least be a step in the right direction.
