You will NEVER be able to return back to a Congested World once you transfer out...

Let's face it everyone... While it has been said that the [lockdown] placed on the Congested Worlds "may" get lifted once those servers have stabilize, we all know that it will NEVER happen. So to all those who are transferring off the Congested World servers, I wish you all good luck. May you all forever walk in the light of Crystal...

Well even if its happening, if you transfer off using the free transfer, you are receiving a 90 day transfer lockout anyways. Maybe by then certain worlds have been a bit more stabilized

Nah it's never going to happen. Think about it... Why would they re-open and allow people to transfer to a Congested World when the idea is to get people to transfer out of them given all the incentives they have presented to people to entice/persuade people to leave them.

and that's a bad thing? in the unlikely event that those servers actually get down to a normal level of population, I'm sure they will change it. But with the whining and crying from Balmung, I would guess most of you will sit there until they split it and you have to deal with wherever you end up.

This has nothing to do with it being a good or a bad thing. I'm speaking towards those who are "hopeful" about it the Congested Worlds re-opening again when in truth, they will more than likely not/never be open again. Also, please note that I wasn't being server specific.

Why would you want to transfer back? If you ask all your friends to move for free with you, what is the point to move back to a heavily congested world?

I know you weren't being server specific, but this is the second passive aggressive post on this topic you have posted. ...unless I've missed a few. I admittedly wasn't paying that much attention. So, we do know why you are posting it.

Depending on circumstances, something like the current promotion with Omega may help stablilize Gilgamesh. Back before cross world party finder was a thing, a large number of people transferred to Gilgamesh due to it being the considered the serious raiding server. Now that cross world party finder is now a thing, part of the incentive to transfer to Gilgamesh is gone so a promotion like Omega may just be the push some people need to transfer.

Balmung is much trickier. Balmung's main appeal is its designation as the RP server. So the first step is to create a new server and designate it as the official RP server. In this situation, you have to take into account main appeal of Balming, basically what puts it up so high on the server market. Also, include the same incentives as the current new server bonuses as well.

In both cases, allowing for an entire FC to to transfer as well as proper housing compensation. Perhaps even give those who had houses priority when it comes to buying a house on the new server. A lot of people would not like to suddenly find themselves homeless for the foreseeable future after transfer.

I cannot agree with being given priority on housing. I'm all for new people coming to my server and setting up shop but I'd get rather salty if suddenly I couldn't move my house to Shirogane because someone just transferring in had priority. I'd agree to a system where transfers get heavy discounts on housing prices and other forms of compensation. Honestly, if anything, that should encourage folks to transfer before all the housing goes. I know Couerl still has some available spaces and there will likely be a few more choice ones once the new district goes live.

Oh, it will happen. Eventually.
Some people will transfer off the congested servers. Other will stop playing the game for various reasons.
With no way for new characters to enter the congested servers, the only way the population can go is down.

It may well take time before their population goes down to stable levels, but eventually it will happen.
