Server Transfer Mid September Delayed?

[ssppiikkeeyy]

Now 20th of Sep and still noting about this i've been looking around the forums and can't find no information on this at all.

Just looking to no if a dev could give us more information on this if its even still coming or when it coming because it is now pasting by mid September and its not here.

Anyone even got any information on this would be grateful.

[Khalette]

Absolutely agreed.

Check out the Live Letters tomorrow and Sunday at TGS. They probably will announce it after TGS (Yoshida has been swamped travelling since Launch. After TGS he will finally have downtime to do stuff)

[Noata]

Well in the letter he addressed how server transfers were part of the second step that he wanted to bring around the time they resumed digital sales, I would say we are very close. so maybe only slightly delayed., though not direct he did hint at a delay in his letter, as they were not done with part 1 yet. so its any day now. no need to panic.

Further Server and System Improvements, Part 2 http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/88643

- Overcrowded Worlds and the World Transfer Service

Even with the previously discussed measures in place, there remain several overpopulated worlds that may still be subject to peak-time login and character creation restrictions.

Adjustments to the servers have greatly increased the allowed number of simultaneous logins per World, but this particular strategy has reached its limit..

Each World consists of multiple zones (with an area such as “eastern La Noscea” comprising one zone), and allowing a greater number of players to log　in to a World could potentially see a single zone become overcrowded, resulting in unacceptable lag and other issues that would negatively impact gameplay.

Login restrictions were introduced to avoid these situations, and, as might be expected, players on highly populated Worlds encounter these restrictions more often than others.

Our next phase of improvements will seek to address this issue in the following manner:

1.　Monitor simultaneous login numbers and relax restrictions where possible.
2.　Commence World transfer service.

According to an interview earlier this month: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/09...expanding-fun/ (paragraph 11)

Next up was a question about server transfers, and Yoshida said that they will be available within two to three months.

Then on the 12th, Yoshi posted: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...vements-Part-2

Though there is still some work to be done, we hope to bring you an announcement regarding the availability of World transfers in the very near future.

The two statements do not contradict each other, the Sept. 12th statement is about an announcement, not the transfers themselves, coming soon. That said, the Mogstation and Lodestone both have a single sentence about World Transfers starting mid-Sept. Since the 1st is the beginning and the 30th the last day, Yoshi can say that 2-29th is in the middle- so again they could happen on the 29th and the sentence on the sites would be true.

The truth is: We just don't know yet, but hopefully will soon.

It's great and all to be semantic about things when it really doesn't matter, but honestly, if someone says they're going to do something "the middle of such-and-such month", they NEVER actually mean the 2nd or the 29th. They mean what they say, nor do they mean to say something that can be interpreted so broadly and obtuse.

Oh, don't get me wrong- I believe mid month is 11-20 (basically the middle third). But having dealt with Yoshi-time in Version 1, I know he often said, "mid-month" and it would happen in the last week of the month. People would defend him with the whole,"2-29 is in the middle of the last and first day of the month so Yoshi didn't lie", thing. It was tiring but meh. So yes I agree with you, just saying what the WKs will charge in to say to defend him. BTW- he announced just today that it will be October I am sure some WK will explain to us how that is still mid-Sept.

Hehehe,

* World transfer service is scheduled to begin mid-September.

Well, mid-september. They don't tell which year. Soooo, it could be mid-september 2014, 2015, who knows?

[Ulathskullsplitter]

You have to keep in mind that this is SE's idea of mid september not what everyone else would consider mid month. For them mid month is like the last 5 days of the month. If they say end of the month they mean the last day or start of the following month. If they say early in the month that means after the 15th. This is how SE always is when they use vague terms like early, mid, late.
