Incentive to transfer must be increased

[Ferrasper]

I would only really leave Greg if they gave me 50 million gil instead of whatever they have.

Here's an idea: give players either a shit ton of gil (add inflation) or free game time (a month or two or three) for moving because we're forced to fix their problem for them. They clearly don't want to rewrite the backend code to allow server scaling. So give us money instead!

They could also give up and just split the server. Instead they are giving some incentives. *shrugs*

They should do that. then everyone can bitch they are on different servers than their friends. "SE isn't fixing it, they don't care" "SE WHY YOU SPLIT THE SERVER, NOW I CANT PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS!"

If they forced split, they need to give a few weeks before they do so, so people can figure out with friends/FC/family on where to go.
I still think the game suffers from people just AFKing for hours on end. Because HW didn't have all these ongoing, almost 2 weeks worth of problems
so people just chill out and afk. Pipinbahun killed us terribly. That and SE screwed us by allowing the loophole to Balmung transfer for far too long.
Balmung suffers as of late:
- Random 90k.
- EA was a mess, still suffering from it.
- Bursting population.
- New Expac out.
- DF broken every now and then.
- Crashes.
A lot of things going on so Q times are so damn bad lol.
It's a shame they took this long to stop the transfers. :/

A third datacenter would have empty servers. the whole point of the free transfer thing was to fill up existing low pop servers.

Main reason to stay on balmung is the economy..the more people there is, the more people fight for price and the better it is for the consumer. I originally transfered to balmung for the RP, but got tired of chat-RP once i had a taste of mic RP with arma 3 Life.

So overall, they would have to give more than what they do at the moment, because im sure not everyone owns a house or an appartment, also, only being able to transfer for free to a EU server is garbage, server transfer should be FREE if your server is congested/blocked by SE to any servers that aren't in this predicament, add some materia 6 X5, 5mil gil and 200% exp bonus up to 70.


Yes what im requesting is crazy, but if they want people to get off balmung/gilgamesh, they need to step up the bribe.

You can transfer to 4 NA servers for free, not just EU lol.

Heh. Cross-realm market board it is then!

We're already working on all kinds of things cross-world, might as well. Oh dear, but your common crafter would weep, weep I tell ya!

The answer is quite simple, as far as balmung is concerned there simply isn't a possible incentive they could give that would get a large enough amount of people to leave that it would affect queues.
