What it takes to get players to transfer from congested servers

[Furiea]

It's not guaranteed though. A chance isn't good enough in my opinion.

not guaranteed? what? you don't know how to make a new character on other server to see if they have housing spot open?

I can guaranteed your quene time suffering ain't gonna go away anytime soon. although I guarantee it will be much better if you wait another 2~5 months.

For Greg, the queues aren't that bad actually. Max wait for me is about 30 minutes. Usually though I pop right in.

what is takes people to move out?
new server: Checked
free transfer: Checked
increased gil transfer: Checked
Gold feather reward: Checked
Chance of no quene time: Checked
Chance of cheaper items: Checked
Chance of owning a cheaper FC/personal house: Checked

I think all there is left is cause them enough pain so they will actually do something.
INCREASE THE QUENE TIME !!!

• New EU server. What relevance does this have for Balmung and Gilgamesh, North American servers?
• Free transfer only matter if we want to leave. We don't.
• I have several million gil and can easily make more through crafting.
• People generally don't base transfer decisions on mounts. Most already have them since they've been out for years now.
• If the queue isn't bothering us...
• Balmung marketboards are the lowest in the entire game by a mile. Ironworks currently says for 169,999. How much is it selling for on Tonberry?
• Only if those houses sit unoccupied for several weeks. And as we've established, gil is extremely easy to make in this game.

And therein lies the problem. None of the perks offer anything enticing for people who prefer their current servers. You don't even get the EXP boost. So.... tell me again why I should transfer when I get nothing out of it?

and you don't know how much it cost on tonberry? how did you make that claim then?

If the quene doesn't bother you, then by all mean, stay. I honestly don't give a crap what server you are on.

What I care about (and some other players) is that Balmung players stop crying foul on the forum about their quene time.

Because it's fairly common knowledge. Our population means more things sell and are subsequently made. Since you didn't check yourself, I suspect it's selling much higher on your server.

Evidently, you do since you're the one saying our queues should be forcefully increased in the hopes of frustrating us enough to transfer. Regardless, it's not Balmung people complaining. The last several threads and posts, such as yours, have come from people on different servers mad at is because we don't want to transfer. So kindly take your own advice.

because I really don't care. it's more or less a loltroll directed at Balmung since they whined on the forum.

Really, the only way to guarantee housing is with a brand new server.

Mateus is one of the preferred servers and both the Mist and Goblet are completely filled up already.

Specially for Balmung, a big reason why people don't transfer is because there is no other (un)official RP server besides Balmung.

Also, friends, planning together to move to the same server can be impossible. Even with Cross-Server playing, the experience isn't the same. Square needs to release the new FFXIV soon, and allow Cross-Server Linkshells.

Mateus on NA and Omega on EU.
