I did know that you could pay to switch servers, but if you can pay to get into over crowded servers, that actually makes me a little mad....

Actually... I don't think they are 'crowded' but simply locked... and this is a good thing.

Have you been on a regular server and started getting spam tells for gold sellers? ads in say, shout, etc? Random friend and FC invites? If not, just wait, because you will.

On the locked servers? Nope. We are FREE from spam!! (Aside from the occasional person/fc) Frankly, to me that's worth $18. I can use my tells, don't have to be in /busy for some peace and quiet. I wish there was a free way to keep out the goldsellers, but alas.. there is not.

THIS^^^

I started on Jenova and was getting tells from goldsellers approximately every five minutes (I actually timed it once because I was so irritated). The random friend/FC invites were a pain too. I have only gotten one tell from a goldseller since I transferred to Balmung, and that happened right after the server went down recently. So trust me, it's a good thing that Balmung is always locked.

It seems that Jenova in particular is pretty bad. It used to be the server I'd roll alts before transferring them over, but the amount of goldsellers over there, it's not worth it.

I, for one, will be happy if it is never unlocked.

In the news thread regarding being able to add characters it says "Due to congestion..." so that is why I am lead to believe it is due to well, congestion. 

However, your points are valid and make sense. Maybe they are dealing with soliciting issues at the same time they have this going. 

Either way, I do believe in outsourcing people that hinder the game play with ads. I guess I will have to just level up in Siren until I have the money to switch to Balmung like everyone else. 

If there are no solicitors that makes it more worth it anyway. How bad are the quene lines though if I do switch over, and how good should my internet be to run smooth in it?
