Stranded off Home Realm

[Embio]

Yep, softlocked out of the expansion right now. Actual congestion doesn't matter and it's VERY stubborn about not letting anyone through, which leads me to believe something isn't working as intended, especially in regards to the post that says to use the Return to Home feature. I tried transferring before maintenance and it wouldn't let me either so it's incredibly infuriating. If in the off-chance they knew it would do this they should have just forced everyone home, instead of locking people out.

It worked for me to get back to Marilith, but that world is dead.

This is me currently, went to log on this morning and it was around 4000 in the queue.. i did what SE told me to do.. my queue in the Home World is now like 200.. and I can't go back.. i can't even access my retainers for lvl gear for the new jobs

Same here. Did what SE suggested and now I cant go back to my home world no matter what.

Y'all were warned.

This is such a garbage argument. SE's warnings only said that travel to congested worlds would be restricted, not that characters would be unable to return to their own home worlds. Returning to one's home world has never been treated the same as travelling to a non-home world, so there was no reason whatsoever to construe that warning any other way.

I'm lucky I can still play etc, just annoyed that my homeworld queue is like 40 now.. and I can't get back

Hopefully they will do an emergency maintenance to solve this asap. People need to be able to play what they paid for.

Saw Excalibur queues were down to 30 so decided to hop over to OCE to do a trade. Now I get "Unable to select Excalibur as a destination for Return to Home World requests at this time." and have 100x times over the past two hours despite the practically non-existent Excalibur queues. This is broken.

sorry some of you got locked in but you were warned not just on these forums, not just on their lodestone website, not just on your favorite media platform but also repeatedly before maintenance began they sent you several notices that maintenance was to begin and to logout and return to your homeworld via the chat log you just chose to deliberately ignore it and now you are where you are until further notice so you might as well get cozy where you are now because you're not going to get back anytime soon.

Problem seems to be fixed now! Just got back home to Balmung. Hope everyone in the thread is able to return safely!

Seems to be fixed indeed. Was stranded on Light and was able to get back home Cerberus Chaos just now
