this first week is going to be deadly

I'm actually more worried about the long term effects in the weeks to come and reviews inbound. With this and the toxic SE Forum community on tech support, I worry new buyers may be wary of joining the game like this.

All will be forgiven from the community once they possess better logistics. Word of mouth will bring back players (hopefully a majority) since it is a well-made game, although. There will be players that won't get into it since it is rather slow when you're starting out. This is nothing more but growth pains that everyone has to deal with.

As a veteran MMORPG'er, I'm not feeling vindicated so much as I'm feeling a mighty pain in my foot as if I'd shot myself there when I think about Squeenix... ^^;

Alright! So then there will be a RP linkshell being formed, I will be posting the contact names so that we can be all in reach of one another...this is in regards to Faerie RPers that are awaiting Balmung/Gilgamesh trasfer capability due to the lockout.

Are they going to offer free transfers eventually? I've heard rumors of it but haven't found anything official. If so, once things settle down, I'll transfer to an unofficial RP server ... but I probably wouldn't pay for it, as I'm typically strapped for cash anyway. Unless it's fairly inexpensive, unlike certain games' fee *coughWoW*

Yeah unfortunately no official word, however went ahead and made an OOC linkshell! For anyone poking around on Faerie please, feel more than welcome to message:

Y'arinah Vett
Sizha'ra Vokyr
Y'vett Nunh
Vielle Lantonceins
Daedaein Daein


I will be making the list larger as we get more that can invite!

Best regards, and see you game-side!

I'm just gonna go ahead and drop this here.

I think, and Icould be reading that wrong, that that says the server transfers are currently available.

Someone, correct this if you check and find out it is false.

I had read on their main site that server transfers will be available in mid September sometime.

Well don't get too happy just yet. It says some worlds may not be available for transfer due to world population. So still a grey area that leaves nothing for certain. And if a bunch of folks seek a transfer then someone in the end can still be locked out. So...yeah. May have to pray to your gods, sacrifice chickens, throw a virgin into a volcano...

....wait scratch the last one out. Can't waste those!

Im just going to leave this here...

Yeah don't think they will reopen for a time.  Which sucks.

I can tell you Faerie is getting popular as a few Twitch TV streams have those people on that server.  So many new players have been heading there to go into the LS and the like.

Honestly, the hardest part about this launch for me is that this was the game i wanted to try out roleplaying on. I went gilg because it was a fresh start for everyone. Now more and more can't play on gilg.

However, I would give square a ton of respect if they give everyone 1 free server swap that started on launch, when they actually release server swaps.

Would be funny if everyone not in a big community ends up running away from Gilg and that's left is Reddit, Blugartr and us.
