SE: Open up Regional Travel for OCE PLEASE !

[Jojoya]

What happened to all the new players that OCE players said would buy and start playing the game if a data center was based in OCE instead of players needing to use one of the other regional data centers? Did they appear but they're still leveling through MSQ so unable to help with max level content queues (very understandable) or did they never materialize?

Personally I would expect it to take a while for the end game population to fill out. Data center travel might help the individual player get access to content but it will not help build a strong local player community, which is what you need.

The real players are not on OCE.

Every player is a real player. What a good way to get others to ignore your opinions from now on.

I'm entering day 5 of trying to get an Aglaia queue. My fc is telling me that 4 hours is a usual wait time and I'm better to start a PF and ask people to join it.

I'm just...depressed. It's depressing.

I don't understand I'm from Ravana(OCE) and I've done Aglaia 5 times this week. At peak times it will que fast. I got into Bozja 2 weeks ago and Void ark pf'ers are going up now as we speak to get players ready for the next patch.

I would have moved back 4 days ago. If current content doesn't even pop why bother staying?

I dont think ive ever waited 4 hours for algaia nor heard anyone say that is the standard
took me like 20 minutes on monday (at like 9pm) as Bard to que into it

That's the thing. There's about a 3 hour window that you can do things in. If you can't play the game in that window then you can't do things.

Truthfully? I want OCE to succeed and I want to help building community there. But we need help. There's just not a population for this to get much better. WoW consolidated their NA/Aus playerbase and I really think we need that too.

Completely agree with your post,

Did you know there is only 30k players on Materia Data Centre? There's really no need for 5 whole servers especially when it will take 10 years to see something substantial. Ravana and Sophia. max with Sephirot is enough to last the mmos lifespan.

Yeah, we started our FC on Bismarck which was a massive mistake. Felt like a black hole. No one in Limsa, no signs of life, can't sell anything on the MB. The minute the 90 days were up we uplifted and shifted everyone to Ravana and started again. And man, I'm glad we did. Obviously it doesn't fix the queue times but at least people are around. And the marketboard moves!

They should have MB cross data centre by now. Will be a few months the RMTers take to equalize the costs, but then everything will be normal again.

OCE players complaining about their wishes, right on schedule.

Move along, nothing new to see here.

You do know you could just ignore this thread right? But I think they are glad you bumped their thread for more visibility.
