World Transfer Applications Begin (03/01/2012)

Ragnorak will end up getting scrapped or changed in my opinion, wince it seems there is a lack of people wanting to go.

And you can tell that a few hours after the transfer page was made available?

Most GMTs should be at work/school right now, and even more of them probably won't make their choice at day one. Give it some time.

With everyone waiting to see what's going to happen, nothing will change.

I think you will see a post soon that states its not working correctly, the method of moving, they said would be a +1, -1, +1 new server, -1 old server.

This way it is impossible for them to be all filled up, think of it like scales? Makes no sense. The only explanation would be "staying put" uses up a free slot for some dumb reason.

There must be an issue, every server except ragnarok is full and yet no other space opened up. That makes no sense.

Maybe they set the limit lower than server A + B combined. In other words, they were already full before it even started - Except for Ragnarok and Ridill.

If that's the case, we'll just have to wait for the EUs to move to Ragnarok and free up some slots on the other servers. If that doesn't happen, maybe they'll increase the cap little by little.

Fck yeah , i have now to choose a fulljp oceanic server with people that doesnt play on the same time as me or a death european server. Yeah keep killing the game yoshi , grats.

"X" on all servers could mean that the balance that SE wants is already reached now and they just want to get more players on Ragnarok now.

I highly doubt that, since all of the servers were already full when I first checked it shortly after it was enabled. There's no way that many people have been camping the site, which means there must still be a pretty big difference in the size of population between the servers.

Either way, some of the people here have to stop whining already. (I'm looking at youuuu, Zottan!)
There's bound to be a dev post about it soon, so just wait and see.

Congratulations Ridil, you finished the race.

Naturally when you go for balance you have to take from the big and give to the small. so the max number per server has to be in the middle somewhere. SE even stated that some servers will be full soon after. so with servers being over the cap by more then other were under the cap. the +1,-1 doesn't work as planned.

Example: lets say 4 servers were over the cap from the get go by a total of 2000.and 5 servers were under the cap by a total of 700ish. (not real numbers)
As part of that 2000 go to the other servers. The 5 servers free spots decrease but the other 4 servers spots don't open up due to being over the cap. That leaves 1300 left for Ragnarok. which didn't work like SE planned

so the +1,-1 can't work as long as servers are over the cap. But if you increase the cap, some servers will have much more then other servers causing the same problem as before the merge.
SE expects us to do this community does the opposite and it causes problems. Nothing new really.

Google translate leads me to believe everything is "working as intended".
