World classification - server status

[Maerdhina]

Hi there,

Is there any planned maintenance or just update to statuses on world classification for European / global servers list -- in near future?

I wanted to come back to my original (not thru world visit) World shortly after Endwalker launched but was unable due to insane congestion and service being offline until it stabilized (some time later). Guess I'll just have to wait longer this time then...

SE isn't going to tell us in advance when status changes will happen - and most likely can't tell us much in advance.
The status (congested, preferred, etc) of worlds change depending on how the population on the worlds change, not on any timed schedule. So it can be hard to impossible to predict when the populations have changed enough.
When status changes are made, it is always in conjunction with a maintenance - so it will not happen any earlier than next maintenance.

When Square wants to, we don't get told in advance. They base it solely on how populated a server is and are most likely waiting for the OCE servers to fill up further and empty/decongest the other DCs.

Sorry for the "childish answer", but that's the only one you'll get.
Please be patient and keep playing where you are or come back again when 6.1 launches to see if it changed.

As it turns out, todays (March 8) maintenance included changing all the Congested worlds into Standard worlds. We will see how long that lasts, but right now transfers should be open to all worlds.
