Is queue time just a part of the normal game now?

[savageink]

I transferred over a year ago I think. I'd transferred cause pf was dead, hunts and fates were impossible to do, and I've never even been in diadem. If they would have fixed the dead servers with mergers, I wouldn't have transferred in the first place. I even gave up a house to move. If s/e wants me to move again...give me a house and reimburse my original transfer fee.

Well you could have gone to a different server. You must have missed the part where character creation was locked out because of over population, which it was, and the thing that says transfers are non-refundable....actually the transfer terms of service basically says it's your problem once you agree to it.

Edit: I think it even has something about you agreeing to future potential server splits. But it's been awhile.

Yes it does, and if the server splits then "not moving" isn't an option. But I'm not volunteering to leave. Also, I didn't miss anything. I came to this serve because of its population. I'd rather sit in a que then join a dead server.

Well I was giving thought to maybe transferring to Zalera pretty much all the houses in the mist are sold except couple small ones so I guess that option is out cause not going to give up the Medium house by the docks that I have currently to have no house or downgrade to smaller house. So I guess I will just wait it out until people as we all know will leave again, bringing the queue times down.

Personally would accepted the offer to transfer, even if I lose my FC. (which is the 2nd biggest reason I dont want to trasfer.)
But when my friends tried to transfer, they found out there is a 3 day wait period between each alt being transferred, and i dont want to take the chance of some/one of them not getting onto the server, due to a large number of people switching making it no longer the free server. (they are filling up fast compared to their numbers prior)

I was on Balmung since 2.1, when the server was a high population, but still wasn't locked. I moved off of it a month ago, before the incentives to move took place, as I knew what fresh hell it will be (and the server move causing serious lag didn't help either). I remember the queues at HW launch, and SB brought in even more people, and seeing as the server got closed off completely, I saw the signs. I paid to transfer off, established myself on a fairly smaller server. Now I don't even have a queue and am enjoying the game to the fullest. I left some friends there, sure. But my best friend followed me, so I have a buddy to play with. We're further in clearing stuff now than anyone we know as they have to fight a 3-4 hour queue each day to even get on and then if they disconnect, they can forget about playing that day. And I do feel for them, but we did offer them an opportunity to move with us, maybe even follow after the new incentives are up. A few days after early access launched, some of those people who were telling us to not move, that it's not gonna be an issue... moved. They couldn't take it anymore.

In all honesty, I didn't want to move either at first. Now I'm glad I did. It was the best decision in hindsight because I want to play the game, and not pay monthly to stare at the login screen for hours a day. All of the talk about long duty queues on smaller servers are moot with the new cross world DF, so there's nothing stopping you.

Read first post... It wasn't the "most overcrowded server" when 2.0 launched, which is when i started playing. Why should I get screwed off the server I've been in since launch because SE didn't limit registrations early enough?

Again, not a valid reply.

It does not matter if you started on Balmung in 2.0. Whether or not you started there is completely irrelevant. As I said, I'm on Tonberry and it has recently become a congested server. I choose to stay and deal with the queues for personal reasons, and I have no right to complain because it's my choice not to transfer off... I can get a free transfer right now if the queues really bothered me.

And besides, in fact, Balmung WAS the most crowded server in 2.0.

Huh?

That's not correct. You can transfer all alts at the same time.

How would u go about this then?
When I tried, I saw no such offer, and it locked me out for 3 days after my 1st alt.
Same happened to my friends.

I can only assume some box somewhere needs to be checked, but didnt see it.

It's already starting to even out on Marlboro

Edit: it's already starting to even out on malboro, DPS queue for me has been about 20 minutes. Like someone else said it will continue to even itself out, and yes you're on balming.
