Aether Data Center 100% Congested

We could be Goblin friends! I was able to get a small house too without any issue as well

Please do! I've been on Crystal before the split through Zalera but I want more friends since I came back.

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.

Anyone who can't create on Aether is more than welcome here at Crystal, specifically Diabolos...we have cookies. And FCs full of lunatics.

Diabolos is the best! =D But really Crystal is super chill.

... But really Crystal is super chill.

This is true! And so far I saw good amount of raiders as well. I don’t know why people think rpers can’t raid.

Also there is a general opinion Balmung and Mateus are the sin of the original Aether and having them be sent to Crystal was a blessing due to congestion/rp focus. Which I think is totally bull as I've seen many people from Balmung be top in PVP and raiding as a whole. So that claim holds no weight imo it's just blameshifting for the sake of something to complain over.

It's also funny because while I'm not on Aether anymore I generally hear people are trying to treat Faerie like the new Balmung as being the more rp focused server for Aether.

I hope to see more new people joining Crystal. Please don't remain under the false impression that its nothing but RP. It has people focused on all sorts of content and has lots of enjoyable events, meetups, etc.
