So about the realm transfer restrictions..

[Roda]

Lol. No it hasnt. I've heard a ton of people saying the transferred off only until it re-opens again.

I mean we've all got our anecdotal evidence. I've heard a ton of people saying they enjoy their transfers and even more still preparing to transfer, even after all the afkers got purged and the queues have dropped to sub 50.

Learn what lesson? It isn't the playerbase's fault SE allowed transfers to a supposedly overflowing server and happily collected $18 each time. Frankly, the cynic in me thinks they will open up Balmung and Gilgamesh within a couple months just to collect more money from the inevitable transfers back.

I mean I didn't say SE wasn't at fault, but also the community did have a problem with "high pop or nothing" (which I don't blame them for, I think balmung's size feels quite lively) with even non-rpers leaving perfectly stable servers to squeeze into balmung's large population. Quite a few of my friends that I've lost to free transfers are quite happy with the lower pop servers and are content in using the cross-world party finder for end-game activities, and a few more are still looking to transfer their characters, and potentially their guilds off.
