Aether Data Center 100% Congested

[Jojoya]

So what are the chances we will be seeing free server transfers in the near future to try and balance out the population. I for one would take one, I don't really have anything binding me to my server.

Some nights there are so many people on Midgard that I can't see the MB's in Limsa, and it's not even the Aether server with the most people.

Move from a congested world to a new or preferred world and the transfer is free. Feel free to look it up once Lodestone is out of maintenance though the world transfer service is expected to be down until Saturday so you won't be able to transfer until then.

Don't expect to see another free transfer period like we had in May, though. They never work when it comes to reducing server congestion. Just ask anyone who played WoW on a world that had free character migration. The majority of players were expecting others to transfer off so they could stay put. The handful of players that did transfer were never enough to noticeably improve congestion issues.

I transferred from a congested server to Goblin for free, got 10 gold feathers and was able to purchase a house.

Good. Not only does it mean that the game is getting a lot more attention it also means that the other server clusters will fill up too.

Yep.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the queue will be like in Gilgamesh, Greg is gonna be stuffed.

It probably won't be nearly as bad as Raubhan's Refrain: Ultimate

I kinda wonder if they were manually set to congested to get people to move/make new characters on crystal

[Yawnie]

Ugh a reason I moved away from balmung was to avoid congestion. Definitely wanna transfer but I guess I’ll wait to see how bad it gets before I make a decision :c

Adamantoise on Aether has been pretty nice for me, lower pop world, got a nice little house without too much of an issue. Max Q I got yesterday on rush hour was 30 and I got in super quick, not too worried about the xpac tbh.

Yeah, the congestion kind of followed Aether, because (1) People fear that RP will take over Crystal (2) That RPers can't raid-- for some reason???? (3) Then these false rumors spread to the new people coming in who are being misinformed.

I am sure there are other reasons, but that is the biggest ones I've heard.
