Unless I am missing something, like the name is offensive or somehow a snowflake name then this sounds more like that person complaining is yanking your chain. If it works for you and your concept thank them for their feedback and move on. I do admit to having a personal gripe against using a different character name to your nameplate, only because it is confusing and requires others to keep a note of the IC name (ah if only the game had that feature). You could put the IC name in your search text.

Yeah you're EU playing on a US server. It sucks but the times they're going to aim for are when the US players aren't busy. I'd expect the same for a EU server dropping during someone else's prime time. Yes but they bring down all servers at the same time, so EU server go down at 8/9/10pm in the evening. They could at least stagger it by server, or area. They didn't do that afaik. They brought down Aether and Primal at 12 PM PDT. I had friends on EU servers who stayed online the entire time. Unfortunately, EU players on a NA server are going to get shafted. THey are not the intended primary userbase of that NA-centric server. Especially when SE runs an EU datacenter. Pretty much this. Ilu UM. Basically, EU players on Balmung have no room to complain since they're not the intended userbase. If they're here, cool. That's their choice. But ultimately, SE is going to time things based on the NA prime schedule. I'd expect them to do the same for EU databases too. I honestly don't know if the EU data center went down, but I highly doubt it. Well the notice was for all Data Centers, if they didn't take down EU that's not so bad I can go alt on there. Perhaps they will be doing it at another time of day "As such, we’ll be instituting a temporary measure that will log all characters out simultaneously across all Worlds on a data center once a day."

So this is a regular thing now "As such, we’ll be instituting a temporary measure that will log all characters out simultaneously across all Worlds on a data center once a day." Even though it is the worst time for me, slap bang in the middle of my play time, and I expect there will be massive queues to get back in, it will make housing available again. Thank you SE, it's a half way measure but it is better than nothing.

Yea I found I had this probably about half a dozen times.

In EU then Omega is where folks are tending to go. Unless you have an overriding link to the NA player base I would go with Omega. It seems to have an active population, especially in the lower progressing areas. It is a new server so the RP community there is growing and actively getting RP happening. If you are NA then Mateus is your best bet.

Yes good points, and given that the Crimson Duelists, as well as others that may have learned, can move about then I would suggest you could work it into a back story in many ways. Also it could still fit into finding the Crimson Duelists and learning more advanced forms from them. Personally I left it as someone she met on one of her sea voyages.. , ♪ I met a strange man, he made me nervous. He took me in and gave me breakfast. And he said ♪ ... "here try this blade out.." the rest is history, and now she finds the Crimson Blades to refine her basic style (maybe).

Well on the RDM quest..

Well.. breaking it down.. What others know IC - try to not change this, as it is already out there What only your char knows IC - you can tinker with this I expect, just try not to affect (1) What only you know as the player - rewrite this to fit and fudge it as needed, no one will be any the wiser You may probably find that with some IC variation you can adjust to fit, or at least not contradict the new lore.

That's Denmo, aka Mr. Face! He actually has a lot of fun videos on his channel. Some of which I think were shot on Balmung! For good or bad i did around a whole 24hrs of spaming that quest before Gilgamesh fell over and we got through.

Pathos, so much pathos. Honestly the main stories have quite a bit of depth. I feel they stepped it up to deliver more than the two dimensional stuff you might expect. Though I still feel like a bystander to events, as there is no real sense of making a difference. The dungeons are fun and contain much dodging, yet I manage okay tanking them. I'm in the UK with a 170ms+ ping too.

Eorzea, warmongering fanatics, someone needs to cut them down now before they destroy us all.. they crashed the moon into the land and set free a great dragon upon us! Their answer to everything is war. React now before they annex any more of the world and kill us all with their misuse of Aether and divine powered souls!

I got DCed about 8pm East time (1am for me) and was welcomed back with a queue over 3.5k.. so I went to bed. It is 5:30 later and the queue is 500.. going down slowly. I think SE are missing a trick, with these long queues they should put in free offers to try their other games or adverts or lore snipits to keep you engaged. Another thing they could do is move some of the online stuff to outside the game access, like retainers, FC chat etc.. WoW did something similar.

Thanks for that (Guilded ref) I love the minimalist approach, I'm going to try this for my FC.

Discord is another place being used to supplement in game groups. It is poor at static or structured stuff. Maybe consider Tumblr, Discord and GDocs combination?

Still the meme train is fully loaded and bound for cynical town.

Ah a cunning SE plan to get people to move to low pop servers?

And Soon , and Sloppy

I had the same experience of that quick return back in. Oh and don't forget you will eat up your XP bonus on whatever you level.

There is notice up about the problems with the MSQ bottleneck problem http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/791aac7206bf8db4b353b687c3221440dd7b8156

That's crazy. I hope its not as bad on Zalera. When is an expansion not and expansion, when they put a brick wall in

That DC move really delivered the much needed capacity and performance. Number of times forced to restart game 6 vs too many I stopped counting and started throwing cats at folk Position in queue when I did connect 4281, much better than over 20,000 and with hope I may hang in there to get in Plan.. take it easy and start red mage .. why? because RP look with spells and sword! For the RPz!

In the EU the RP focus seems to be the new Omega server, though you don't have to be in EU to play on it.

Basic house down and a couple of members in.. looking for more First three members.. Inside the house, we have just moved in. This will evolve with furnishings as the FC story progresses. And the view from the roof.. for all you stargazes like me

Hi, I dropped an app in a few days ago, not heard anything back yet.
