Thaeya Posted August 27, 2013 Share #126 Posted August 27, 2013 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. Link to comment
Hornbeam Posted August 27, 2013 Share #127 Posted August 27, 2013 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. Link to comment
Ragdoll Posted August 27, 2013 Share #128 Posted August 27, 2013 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. : / Link to comment
Gideon Aryeh Posted August 27, 2013 Share #129 Posted August 27, 2013 Is the lag tolerable on the east coast if you're playing on a Japanese server? Link to comment
raindrops Posted August 27, 2013 Share #130 Posted August 27, 2013 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). Link to comment
LiadansWhisper Posted August 27, 2013 Share #131 Posted August 27, 2013 Is the lag tolerable on the east coast if you're playing on a Japanese server? 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. Link to comment
Ravinous Posted August 27, 2013 Share #132 Posted August 27, 2013 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. Link to comment
StrayCatStrut Posted August 27, 2013 Share #133 Posted August 27, 2013 Edit: Well crap, they're full... all of them but Coeurl (the least popular on EA/B4). Darn. Yeah. Shit hit the fan. Link to comment

StrayCatStrut Posted August 27, 2013 Share #135 Posted August 27, 2013 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. Link to comment
thealmightypoe Posted August 27, 2013 Share #136 Posted August 27, 2013 this first week is going to be deadly Link to comment
Ravinous Posted August 27, 2013 Share #137 Posted August 27, 2013 this first week is going to be deadly 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. Link to comment

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. Link to comment

As a veteran MMORPG'er, I'm not feeling vindicated so much as I'm feeling a mighty pain in my foot as if I'd shot myself there when I think about Squeenix... ^^; Link to comment
Ragdoll Posted August 28, 2013 Share #140 Posted August 28, 2013 Alright! So then there will be a RP linkshell being formed, I will be posting the contact names so that we can be all in reach of one another...this is in regards to Faerie RPers that are awaiting Balmung/Gilgamesh trasfer capability due to the lockout. Link to comment
Ivven Rollenspeil Posted August 28, 2013 Share #141 Posted August 28, 2013 Are they going to offer free transfers eventually? I've heard rumors of it but haven't found anything official. If so, once things settle down, I'll transfer to an unofficial RP server ... but I probably wouldn't pay for it, as I'm typically strapped for cash anyway. Unless it's fairly inexpensive, unlike certain games' fee *coughWoW* :dodgy: Link to comment
Ragdoll Posted August 28, 2013 Share #142 Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah unfortunately no official word, however went ahead and made an OOC linkshell! For anyone poking around on Faerie please, feel more than welcome to message: Y'arinah Vett Sizha'ra Vokyr Y'vett Nunh Vielle Lantonceins Daedaein Daein I will be making the list larger as we get more that can invite! Best regards, and see you game-side! Link to comment
AkhutaiAngura Posted August 28, 2013 Share #143 Posted August 28, 2013 I'm just gonna go ahead and drop this here. I think, and Icould be reading that wrong, that that says the server transfers are currently available. Someone, correct this if you check and find out it is false. Link to comment
erosskye Posted August 28, 2013 Share #144 Posted August 28, 2013 I had read on their main site that server transfers will be available in mid September sometime. Link to comment
Ragdoll Posted August 28, 2013 Share #145 Posted August 28, 2013 I had read on their main site that server transfers will be available in mid September sometime. Awesome! Thanks a ton for the information! Link to comment
Zhauric Posted August 29, 2013 Share #146 Posted August 29, 2013 I had read on their main site that server transfers will be available in mid September sometime. Awesome! Thanks a ton for the information! Well don't get too happy just yet. It says some worlds may not be available for transfer due to world population. So still a grey area that leaves nothing for certain. And if a bunch of folks seek a transfer then someone in the end can still be locked out. So...yeah. May have to pray to your gods, sacrifice chickens, throw a virgin into a volcano... ....wait scratch the last one out. Can't waste those! Link to comment
Levi Druthers Posted August 29, 2013 Share #147 Posted August 29, 2013 http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/69563-EU-Regarding-Character-Creation-and-Login-Restrictions-(Aug.-27)?p=1083120#post1083120 Im just going to leave this here... Yeah don't think they will reopen for a time. Which sucks. Personally, I am in favour of Faerie. It's a P4-added server, so it has no community attached to it. Plus, and this is just me guessing, I'm banking on the name of it helping to keep away the '14 year old boys who play halo and swear a lot' crowd. I can tell you Faerie is getting popular as a few Twitch TV streams have those people on that server. So many new players have been heading there to go into the LS and the like. Link to comment

This is nothing more but growth pains that everyone has to deal with. Honestly, the hardest part about this launch for me is that this was the game i wanted to try out roleplaying on. I went gilg because it was a fresh start for everyone. Now more and more can't play on gilg. However, I would give square a ton of respect if they give everyone 1 free server swap that started on launch, when they actually release server swaps. Link to comment
Asyria Posted August 29, 2013 Share #149 Posted August 29, 2013 Would be funny if everyone not in a big community ends up running away from Gilg and that's left is Reddit, Blugartr and us. Link to comment
