Can we please get a dev comment about servers being full?

[Yves]

We are also trying to move just 9 but so far, only 5 have been able to make it. 3 (including myself) when the application opened up. Two today, so far. 4 are left and I think either a) it will work out fine or b) SE will alter the process a bit (which also fulfills scenario a.)

Regardless, no need to panic, folks. Give it time. SE hasn't let us down since Yoshi took over and I don't see that happening now.

Edit: I will admit some irritation at the process. Had people not cried foul to begin with things would have been fine (most likely.) Still, this particular process could have been a lot easier but this is what people who QQ'd wanted. It just sucks that everyone else has reap what they sowed.

yet somehow i dont think its gonna be as big a problem as some thing

the main reason everythings full 99% of the time right now is because of the people camping it, the fact that everyone is still trying to get to where they want to go

as it tapers off over the next few weeks, youll see the servers even out, and some will constantly be at some form of open status


its like thinking like this, every hour, 100 tickets go on sale, 10,000 people want them
so at the end of the first day, 2400 people got them, and 7600 people are throwing a fit

every day less people need them, and less, and less, you may not get in day 1, but you will get in eventualy(unless of course the server was so popular not enough people ever truely transfered off it to begin with)


we are now in day 2, 17 days left, i can understand people panicking...but this early in the merge process its a bunch of overreacting, when we get to day 10...day 12...hell day 17 id say itl start to become a much more reasonable response


and if you really want to be with friends, nothing says you cant all just go to Ragnorok which seems to always be open....

I like that when other people complained about option 4 five minutes after it was announced, it was ok to do right off the bat because thats how changes get made. But here I am essentially doing the same thing, and your solution to it is to wait until just a few days before they shut it down to start voicing my concerns? Your totally right, maybe then they will do a last minute ninja edit right? No thanks. I am sorry, and I totally understand what your saying, but my problem with this isnt that I am being made to wait to see what happens, its that priority is being given to a bunch of accounts that arent even active. Why should I bother paying a sub fee until 2.0 and getting screwed in the process, when I could be paying nothing at all to get exactly the same treatment I am now?

The transfer was open for several hours from like 9pm CST to early this morning if you didn't get in to bad. All i can say is try again tomorrow.

i have a question for you. please think and answer this honestly. how would the other method have stopped the same issues we have?

now server a + server b are merged together and a few people want to leave that server. those few people cannot get to the other server they want to go to because they want to go to is full.

the original server a and server b want to go to the same server, but the server cannot hold both servers going there. it can hold all of a and half of b. you wind up with 75% of each server getting in and the other 25% is stuck trying to find somewhere else to go.

one method only has the people trying to leave their server having issues going somewhere else and the other method has large portions of the server that cannot even continue to play with the people they have been playing with.

i'll take the issues with the smaller amount of people so i still say the method we have now is better.

Unlikely that will happen Vedis but we will see. People have a right to be angry atm, time is ticking and nothings is opening up, you cannot argue with your statement being based on what you might think will happen in the future.

A lot of people picked option 2 because they thought they'd still be able to move, and look at it now, no one can move lol.

but people are also making the same assumption that is they had went with the original option we would not be having the same issues. i contend these same issues would have happened no matter which method they went with.

Idk what everyone is freaked out about. Its only the first day, they'll likely keep opening the servers up every day to let more in.

me either honestly. outside of the oceanic players, eu players, and role players that are trying to get a server together as their unofficial server i can't understand why so many people hate their server so much to want to leave it when a bunch of new players will be joining them.

I'm wondering if people from a default merger server for example, wanting tO remain there , are applying again. Lol

For example, people from besaid and fabul applying to go tO Balmung. Lol. Wouldn't that count as an application?

I wonder... That's dumb

Made me remember a song.

A good point you bring up. I know a few people last night who do indeed want to stay on Selbina/Ridill, but decided to put in applications for Ridill anyways. I was wondering if their applcations counted towards the daily application limit? Not sure how people are misunderstanding these simple instructions >.>
