OCE Server Announcement; Are you going?

[Icaras]

Me and my sister are going to Sephirot.

Sadly, i think we'll lose the money we put into our FC house (We never bothered with personal houses, we just shared an FC house between us), but the latency is so much better (from like 300 something on tonberry to 22 on Seph) that it's worth it.

Will be nice in dungeons/raids to move with the raid and be safe and not die because latency caused the server to think I didn't move!

Wow from 300ms to 22ms. That is huge. You will surely notice the difference on the quality of your gameplay. Lucky

Was gonna go but seems transfers are down atm. Guess they couldn't take the mass initial load coming in.

Per the Lodestone notice:

The Home World Transfer Service, which is currently suspended due to congestion, will resume on Tuesday, January 25 at 10:00 p.m. (PST) to coincide with the opening of the Oceanian Data Center.

That should be roughly mid-late afternoon Wednesday for OCE residents.

Thats what I figured.

Question: I have been told ( and do NOT know if this accurate or not ) that for a home world transfer we cant be in a city as its instanced.

Anyone?

You can be in a city. When they say your character cannot be logged out in an instance, they're referring to instanced duties (dungeon, raid, Eureka, etc).

More information about how to use the service can be found here:

Keep in mind that for transfers to a new world, you DO NOT want to relinquish any house or apartment. Read the data center announcement for specifics about exceptions to the normal transfer requirements:

My deepest thanks for the clarification, Jojoya, I thought it sounded odd at the time.

Much appreciated.

Well, I'll just make a new character then and get them to 30 for that sweet 15 days of game time.

Will they open Home World Transfer Service soon or will that take a few days so we can use it?
