I am interested in taking the slot~

Bumping this up

It's kind of weird how Square Enix does things, but yes. I've confirmed that transfer is blocked via Mogstation. But you can create characters. It seems like there were massive amount of transfer applications from various EU servers that they decided to move to here so chances are that they've closed it temporarily to ease the transfer application congestion. It's not exactly -overpopulated- but letting Omega to take slow digestion from all these moving players. It'll likely lift up once the techies are going to finish determining how many Omega players are exactly out there. Character creating during busy EU time was reported as closed for an hour or so via Reddit post.

http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/72b256b3e08e343c1511f88a1e355929598ee32d With the help of new and existing players, the number of active players on the Omega World is now on the same level as the other Worlds on the Chaos data centre. Thank you very much for your cooperation. With that said, we will be temporarily suspending all transfers to the Omega World to prevent any further congestion. Additionally, if we continue to see an increase in population on the Omega World, we may change the status to “Congested”. Please note that once the status is changed to “Congested”, players on the Omega World will no longer receive the EXP bonus.

There is apparently Goblin server for Roleplayers too. There are plenty of housings available last time I checked. I am aware that Mateus is almost full in housing for those who has been seeking one.

Going to see if I can bump this to encourage more RP communities grow besides Balmung and Mateus if possible. Since it doesn't hurt to create multiple areas. Can confirm that Goblin still has plenty of housing slots available here for those who were seeking for one in Mateus and are too late in finding one in particular zones.

Hey guys, Are there any other preferred worlds such as Goblin that may have RP worlds? A friend of mine is currently in Goblin and is asking about if there maybe RP community there instead of Mateus since he transferred for his family members. He doesn't want to make another character in Mateus if possible.

Best wishes to you guys. Those are quite good offers for those who are hesitant in moving.

Balmung will never be RP official server. It never was and it was legacy server. Stop asking ridiculous questions. This is the reason we got quarantined because people wrongfully assumed Balmung was officially RP server. Toxicity is already existing. Diversity is harsh before any labeled server.

I have friends that I play with. So likely is no. I wouldn't move. But it also doesn't mean I would tell people to come to Balmung because it's just overpopulated and no RP community should be based under one server

I think people did talk about how Balmung has been congested since about last year and half ago that it was wise to let new communities build their own. But it was thrown into garbage can because most Balmung community felt that it was important to stick everyone in one server. So yeah, we do have more players than Heavensward launch. Data transfer to stabilize or not, it's bound to crash frequently in Balmung for first week imo. Early Access will just be unplayable then first week of that will be worse for those who wanted to play right on the launch date.

The data server transfer to make it stable wasn't really helping for Make It Rain event. After all, it is Balmung. And this explains that Stormblood will be worse.

This is the biggest thing that makes me want to go to Mateus or make a character for that reason

Ha, I used to have FF11 character named Hathaway based on Gundam Hathaway's Flash, and I've noticed your Username referencing that too Welcome aboard to Balmung anyways!

I've never been of that fan who has to stick with one server solely for one type of purpose. If anything, I would rather prefer them to make more Roleplaying servers to spread out. So I am for designating multiple RP servers.

Yes you do because I've quoted the opening post, of which are quotes from the official forums, about the topic of which you would know they do. not. accept. your. complaint. of. <100 ms. ping. I'll do it again for you. Good on you for having less than 100 ms ping. I had over 100 ms ping consistently even while raiding Savage. Not. An. Issue. I played Black Mage on Titan EX just fine. If you had issues, that was not the ping's fault. Good on you for having over 100 ms ping to do Savage and not have an issue that you followed mechanics. But any type of ping that is considered over 100 to 220 is pretty bad anyways. They are only saying that because it's for the casuals who just regularly do basic 24 man raid dungeons, and regular contents from 2.0-3.56. As you can see on that thread post I linked, people are already having same opinion as I do. I am glad to see there are supporters like yourself who'd defend and justify their decision. But there are people who don't see it that way. We can agree to disagree.

Yeah. I am complaining about 75 ms. As a matter of fact, nothing should go from 75-96 ms, because there is a lot of delays. "Better servers" "better infrastructure" is just an excuse. For California players, they'll be like "oh this is nothing. 75 ms, you shouldn't complain" But it is. When I originally had 32 ms pinging to their server and had some ping delays once in a while, what makes you think I won't have delays more through this? When I play Overwatch, I can play with 20-30ms with no problem. If anything, 75+ ms for Competitive when you have 60 Hz monitor is already cringing. Just like this game, where some end games - you don't want to see a 75+ ms. Edit: I don't need to reread. This is Data Center relocation based thread, which means the relocation of the place is also related to the thread.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/324829-New-Datacenter-Sacramento-CA Supposedly this is the new Data Center by people's words. But when I've tested the ping, this has made it worse as it is now 75 ms. That's pretty disgusting as heck. Why did they even bother to move it to Sacramento when they could have gone to somewhere like central ?

Figures. When has this game given hopes for players to earn what they want? Amount of inventory space and Armory Chest space they are giving is pretty small for a "huge" data transfer to another place. I am just taking a grain of salt from this news. They specifically said in a live letter that the inventory increases we're getting will be scaled based on 4.0 launch performance and stability. It's not a whole lot now, but they plan on increasing it as long as the server strain isn't too bad. But among other things, moving data centers is a HUGE undertaking. I'm not sure how many people actually understand the scope of this. It's not as simple as a drag and drop of some files. Or just physically moving some servers. The way I see it, they have the ability to expand, which is critical for a game like this. Some people might remember that when 2.0 launched, they had to do a ton of server architecture adjustments. And then they had to do the same in 3.0. And during all of that, they were also buying additional servers to run this game. Part of the reason their moving is that their current datacenter was full. So full they couldn't let the machines max out because of electrical strain. To the regular player, they might not even notice what under the hood changes have taken place. But that's also pretty important itself. I get the fact stability is important, such as how HW launch ended up having multiple channels to allow people to get through Central Coerthas Highlands. It's just kind of a questionable matter to me for other matters. Since those limitations has caused enough trouble for myself since I am actually running out of space and such. They did mention via live letter that they are adding couple of spaces first, which I am happy to hear. But I did hope that they'd give a bit more than that for first phase.

Hopes of adding way more wards than before due to this transfer.

Hello, I have an alt named Mari Sakamoto (same clan of the last name yay! - unless you want it separate) and she travels around as a hobby. She sometimes hangs out in Ul'dah and other times traveling to Limsa Lominsa. So if you wish to RP sometime in the future, feel free to PM me

Seems like Roedagyn do live in Doma as well as different mixture of colored hairs and eyes for Midlander Hyurs. Good to know this is a good sign at least for whoever wants different race/colors in Doma/Othard.

Midlander Hyur Question who are from Doma: Is it assumed that only brown/black haired and brown/black eyed Hyurs exist in Doma? How about other hair colors with different eyes? There was no actual speculation about this but kind of assumed that it's Japanese/Oriental themed looks for the Doman Hyurs, yes?

Used to RP as Sultansworn and Immortal Flames related characters before. Glad to hear that someone is picking up Law Enforcement type of character since there are plenty of criminal characters out in Ul'dah. Kudos to you I might join in on my alt probably and be some kind of Brass Blade (Though uniforms of theirs are not my thing haha)
