So, awhile back, several servers on the NA datacenter were changed to "congested" which locks character creation and world transfers 24/7 until that status is updated. Guessing it was maybe when 5.31 was patched in, but I admit I wasn't paying attention to the server status before that. The queues on Gilgamesh have been basically the same for months now, so I don't understand how now suddenly it's congested, but anyway... After talking to a relative of mine a couple weeks ago, I found out they were playing the game on another server, which is also currently marked as congested. I've been hoping to transfer over so we can play together, since we cannot world visit because he's on Primal and I'm on Aether. I volunteered to be the one to pay to transfer, because money isn't really an issue, and we both shouldn't have to pay to transfer to a less active server. Neither of us want to move to a lighter pop realm, we like busier servers, but this is super frustrating.

I know it takes a maintenance to change server status from congested, so I'm sure this is pointless to even post, guess I just need to vent...but hopefully 5.35 will come VERY soon and get us off of being congested, but I doubt it since it's adding more stuff to keep people going or bring them back.
