Last year, I made friends who happen to play on Cactuar. I'd like to use the "World Transfer" system to permanently move my character over from Famfrit, but haven't been able to. When I found out it's because Cactuar is "congested", I was a bit confused because I've been able to visit from Famfrit basically any time I want with minimal effort. I'm not 100% sure, but if I tallied it up, I probably spent as much time in Cactuar as I did in Famfrit in 2025 (if not more).

But if I want to permanently transfer my character to that world (so I can be involved in an FC there, use my retainers, etc.), I have to wait for some arbitrary flag to be lifted.

Why it hasn't opened up at all in almost the last year? Last I checked, the only period in all of 2025 that Cactuar hasn't been congested was a short window at the beginning of the year (from something like January 20th until March 22nd).

I don't suppose there's a way to "claim citizenship" if I've just been there enough anyway, is there?
