Thanks for ruining Mateus, SE.

[Radiosuitcase]

Left Exodus over a year ago and eventually settled on Mateus, enjoying how small and tight knit the community was there, planned to get an FC house eventually for our FC in a month or so. Then you opened the floodgates form Balmung.

Within a week, there are no no free houses on Mateus after ages of the wards being nearly empty. I recognize names, they're all owned by transfers from Balmung who came over with their hundreds of millions. My FC can't have a house now, none of my friends who were saving for one can, because you were too lazy to bump up their own housing capacity but decided to give them ours instead.

Thanks for nothing.

You couldnt amass enough gil after a year for you and your friends to get a house?

While the wards were empty, why didn't your FC get a house then?

What did you want SE to do? Lock your low pop server from transfers? That's counter productive.

Edit:
To add to that, a transfer can't come over bearing hundreds of millions of pure gil with them. They can bring 10mil + 5mil per retainer. The best that they can do is bring additional worth through items and try to sell it on the AH to make back their gil.

Edit-Edit:
I stand corrected about the Gil limit, wasn't aware of the change for the recent free transfers.

Didn't they say you could bring 999million with the free transfers?

anyway, sorry you can't get a house now, I too enjoyed close knit communities like on Goblin. But there's still Shirogane housing to look forward to and it's one the best if you ask me

you can transfer with 999million gil for the free transfer right now

[Aerowaffle]

My mistake then. I guess they really wanted people to pop off the congested servers. I know the gil limit was a big incentive for me to stay wherever I was and my friends begged me for a while to move before I caved.

It took my FC two weeks to save up 55 million together for a house.

SE didn't ruin your server as it was deemed to have too low of population which is why your housing areas just sat empty, from the sounds of it the the transfer program did exactly what it was suppose to do fill up the world with more people while reducing other servers.
