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.

I can imagine a few veteran MMORPG'ers in this thread are feeling mighty vindicated when they (Square-Enix) stopped allowing character creation in all servers. Looks like we're going to have to wait and see now.

Yeah. Shit hit the fan.

Well, looks like neither datacenter is safe. Looks like this game is a hit on its release.

Square-Enix kind of already beat us to it when they started limiting players create new characters on the more popular or older realms. I doubt Balmung or Gilgamesh will be open for character transfers until people finally settle down on other, newer servers. I say it's time to move on and actually play the game than to wait for either of these realms to unlock.

I agree with your assessment and I rather a proactive stance than waiting and being reactive again to avoid such situations. So I can't see why Faerie is not as good as any other. Granted to me it is just a name so I never been one to care in any case, heh. Just want to be able to hang out and enjoy the game with those of a like mind. Hell, I led a RP guild in FFXI on Garuda and we sure as heck didn't have any to rp with but ourselves but yet it was one of the best experiences I have ever had gaming wise. So if it is open I shall create a character there this evening. I already made a character on Balmung intending to RP there, but instead I'll join you guys just get the fat-chocobo rolling down that Faerie hill.
