Aether Data Center 100% Congested

Same. Just came back from Excal to Goblin and I'm happy I was able to get a house with little issue and have a smaller pop world to log into for the MSQ.

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.

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.

Well, transfers from Congested to Preferred/New servers are free and has been so ever since they introduced the system of Congested/Preferred servers. This together with the bonuses for transfering to a Preferred server is done precisely as an attempt to make the population spread out more.

So in other words - we are already seeing it.

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.

That's crazy. Any housing plot that opens up on Midgard ends up with a small army of people click camping the placard waiting for it to be purchasable. Been that way for a long time.

It was like that on the congested server I was in. There’s still houses available too on Goblin.
