[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[sylphlands]

Some of you sound like genuinely miserable, friendless people. God forbid people have made friends and relationships with people cross server and want to travel for raiding. This was the worst time and worst way to implement these arbitrary population restrictions. It’s like absolutely no thoughts went into this before implementing it.

Exactly! Someone's picking a fight with me on this exact point and I won't entertain it. Sorry some of us have friends we want to see by using the system the game put in place. Apparently we should have known better and we actually deserve to be stuck in login purgatory, because having friends is somehow rigging the system. This was a huge blunder, no other way around it.

I noticed that, as well as the person who had been going on about how the DC system should be shut down. Do these people even hear what they're saying? This game is shockingly the first time I've had friends and stable RP in years, so forgive me for being upset for separating me from them.

Not to mention that they've split the server/dc's before. So prior you might have been on Zalera which was iirc on Primal (where youve made friends) originally and then got moved to Zalera now on Crystal.

Oh please, someone disagreeing with you isn't "picking a fight." Get over yourself.

Right now people aren't able to log in.

I can empathize with that being frustrating in the short term. If it's due to a bug, I'm sure it'll get fixed. If it's due to congestion, it'll work itself out. Not a big deal in the long run, and the long run is much healthier with this change than without. Unsurprisingly a lot of people can't see past their own nose when it comes to what's best for everyone in the game and not just themselves and their buddies.

About data center travel congestion
Since patch 7.05, the number of users using Data Center Travel has increased significantly, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the congestion.
If the estimated travel time displayed when selecting the DC/world to move to is "Expected to take a long time due to congestion", the wait time for data center travel may exceed 1 hour because it is extremely crowded, or Errors may occur due to timeouts.
Even if the client closes due to an error while waiting for your turn after applying for a move, the data center travel process itself is proceeding without any problems, so we apologize for the inconvenience, but please wait for a while. Please restart the client after that.
Please note that if the character selection screen is displayed at the data center before the move, it means that the application has not been completed, so please apply again.

The irony of this statement speaks for itself.
