[Kellach Woods]

I got two in.

 

Moar Lalau'ras.

[Unnamed Mercenary]

Hopefully it wasn't caused by too many transfers into Balmung.

 

I can totally see having too many characters created/transferred causing a database issue.

[Gegenji]

I made my two alt ideas. Not sure if I'll ever USE them... but they're there!

[Caspar]

What happened...?

 

 

[Steel Wolf]

It takes a truly talented server infrastructure to forget how to elephant.

[Sahb]

I wish they could remember how to elephant because I had the wonderful luck of putting through a world transfer application when the server died.

 

I think I'm in existential limbo. Guess I'm going to have to contact support in the morning.

[Dat Oni]

It takes a truly talented server infrastructure to forget how to elephant.

 

[Evaline]

Any updates on it? I still can't get on myself, not sure about others.

[Unnamed Mercenary]

For most, it came back up after maybe 15-30 minutes downtime.

 

If you're on console, I'd power off the device and then start back up.

[Coatleque]

I logged off and now I'm getting the dreaded lobby server error trying to change characters.
