Please open Gilgamesh server to new characters/transfers

[AlastorGaramonde]

This is all making sense to me now. I took a few months break right after I finished Omega the day it released and came back to get a house but have been busy IRL to actually seriously play since then.

I've been noticing a lot of things that were odd but didn't really understand why - things I've never noticed since playing since early release ARR.

* I've been in AST since I've been back and have not been kicked at all. Since my name starts with an A I'm usually first to go. Previously, I would have to rejoin daily.
* I've been to multiple Stormblood hunts where there were only 2 people there so everyone left.
* There was about 5 people total in Rhalgr's Reach last night at 1am EST.
* There are certain markets in the AH that have worked well for me since ARR that no longer work, because there's no new players to buy them.
* Party finder seems to be much less active.

And this is just my casual, log in for maybe an hour a day, observations.

Has this been brought up in a forum that is more easily viewed by SE? Kinda sucks to finally get a house and the entire server just logs in to do savage once a week. I've played other games where they failed to attract new players and the entire server was end-game... It does terrible things to the economy and community, and also alienates any new players that happen to pop in.
