I’m on Aether, currently under lockdown like many others. It’s frustrating, as I have friends also on Aether who’d like to transfer to my server to join my FC and all that jazz, but we all understand the lockdown and need for it. So, for now we just world hop / cross-world party and deal. We’re just glad to all be on Aether.

My question is… What is the plan for when Primal and Crystal’s populations reach the same size as Aether’s? Will SE shut down all of NA and force new NA players to create on EU or JP servers? Or do they unlock Aether and we all suffer with long queues and potentially unstable servers?

I won’t lie, I’m hoping they do the latter just so my friends can transfer to my server, but I’m also not looking forward to the queues. (Which, by the way, have been shorter on Aether than my login queues for my Crystal alt - anecdotal and only my experience, but it does make me wonder…) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
