Hey all, been following the thread because I am a member of a tightly knit group of about a dozen or so roleplayers. Sadly despite me an a few others being on both Gilgamesh and Balmung, the rest of our group could not manage to roll on the servers before the lockout due to downloads being either too slow, or real life taking its toll. With everyone else being a bit scattered I am going to agree with the last few posters...we're going toÂ Faerie, likely not permanently, if we can get ourselves to Balmung we likely will end up there in the future. However reality as of current does not allow this possibility. So we are going to be heading toÂ Faerie to try and establish whatever semblance of an RP community there. We hate to fracture the community more than anyone else, but in this situation we have little to no choice.

We are all here to have fun at the end of the day, and we can't stand the fact that others in our group are sitting on the sidelines in a furious rage. I hope they do something about letting us get on Balmung or even Gilgamesh soon, otherwise we will be remaining onÂ Faerie.

EDIT - Â Well then...that was something else. As soon as we went to roll...no more servers accepting new players. That is awkward.

I would hope others would join us, if so please message Nanaula Naula. We will post up more contacts as the character names become available. I hope to see other roleplayers until then (I'm not trying to steal, just generating a home for those that do not have one) but I wouldn't argue an alt or two to say hello to those not able to move to the designated servers!

Currently it seems as if Faerie is also closed to new character creation. I tried to make an alt there after getting repeated 1017's on Gil. (And I would have rolled on Balmung but all NA/EU servers are grey now)

....................

Anybody up for setting up on a Japanese server and calling it a day?

Ragdoll · **08-27-2013, 03:44 PM**

Thanks regardless Rock, but yeah even as we made the post the server went grey. >.<

raindrops · **08-27-2013, 03:45 PM**

Faerie'll improve later tonight, I'm fairly sure. All the servers are going to be hit hard today - it's launch day.

The JP servers aren't much better right now, as far as I'm aware. They were empty during Early Access but they've been hit by a lot of people very suddenly during official launch.

Ragdoll · **08-27-2013, 03:46 PM**

Yeah, it seems that all servers just tanked.

Thaeya · **08-27-2013, 03:49 PM**

I guess I am lucky that I went ahead and rolled my would be main on Faerie. I have an alt on Balmung because at the time I wasn't sure what class I would enjoy most. I'll toss myself into the overflow RP server, but I most certainly have the intentions of heading to Balmung or Gil once server transfers are up.

It's almost 4pm EST, meaning a lot of people of getting off of work and out of school. At the time of post (for me at least) it shows all servers as closed to character creation so even claiming any server for overflow is a bit of a russian roulette.

Hornbeam · **08-27-2013, 03:53 PM**

Another refugee to Faerie here. I've been playing on Gilgamesh since P4, but the friends that I've talked into playing the game aren't able to join me there. It doesn't look like character creation restrictions are going to be lifted any time soon, and it would be ridiculous, after raving about the game to my friends, to ask them to just patiently wait so that at some unknown time in the future (maybe a couple days, maybe a couple weeks, who knows?) they'll be able to play. So we're off to Faerie, for now at least.

...which has gone from open to locked to open and back to locked in the time it's taken me to post this.

Ragdoll · **08-27-2013, 03:57 PM**

Yeah, other Faerie RPers, let's try and keep in contact, assuming we can get all our characters over there. I have, but after I made the others got locked out. : /

Is the lag tolerable on the east coast if you're playing on a Japanese server?

raindrops · **08-27-2013, 04:03 PM**

I'm still having internet problems right now which are giving me more lag than is playable, but I'll be around in a couple of hours. I currently don't have the ability to invite people to the teenytiny RP linkshell I've started (the person who owns it managed to get onto their gilga character and I'm not going to ask them to sign out after they've been queueing for that long) but I should soon! And it doesn't seem line being able to invite people will be a problem for a while anyway.

I'm not sure it's my place to say this, but hey. Let's do this thing! (Once servers open and misc. technical issues are sorted out!)

I'm lagging but I'll stay logged in as Cendrillonne Braids if you need to get hold of me ingame (just don't be too mad if I don't actually get your messages right now |D).

I'm Central Time, and the difference between Balmung and a JP server (Valefor, to be specific) was 50MS, give or take, the last time I checked.

Ravinous · **08-27-2013, 06:44 PM**

I think I'll be rolling an alt on Faerie to play with my lady friend. So I'll see some of you all there in due time.

Atrus will stay on Gilgamesh (I'll play him when the girlfriend is not playing) until world transfers happen. If it opens up more space, back to Gilgamesh. The only thing I really worry about is a server split. If it does happen, hopefully SE will try to sort it by LS's and give players the option.

Edit: Well crap, they're full... all of them but Coeurl (the least popular on EA/B4).

Darn. -_-

The SE offices on both Hemispheres must be pure chaos right now

StrayCatStrut · **08-27-2013, 07:20 PM**

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.
