Question about your serverFollow

Do the still actively do old stuff (like t13 for example) cause on my current server getting anyone to do that (even with bribery) is practically impossible (at least in that OTHER game bribery ALWAYS got you what you wanted) lol.


Between that and the fact that a friend irl just got the game and my server has been exempt from character creation forever now Im honestly considering a transfer.... hence the question

I'd suspect that on most servers running old content with party finder groups is probably not common.

The expansion has been out for a week. People want to do the new stuff because they actually need it and it's new. Old stuff will pick up again, though it'll probably take about a month or so before things settle down on most servers.

I think finding a good FC is way more important than finding a good server.

Yeah probably better off finding a good LS/FC. Ours 6 manned T13 at 60..but I can honestly say I see no one doing coil DF or PF wise currently.

I see a few pony farms on Lamia still, but PF is dead. Even the hunt groups are exclusive and linkshell based, and no one is running coil at all (except maybe internally in FCs). You see a few bismark and ravana ex clears here and there, but that is all.

Finding a good FC/LS doesnt help the second issue I mentioned.

As far as DF and PF go oh I KNOW I wont see it there, but notice I mentioned something about "bribery" too.... Im sure getting a new craft to 60 plus the most likely stupidly expensive level 60 gear that you probably have to overmeld is NOT CHEAP.. Id be willing to do a few t13s to fund that if someone was throwing a little gil at me.... guess Im the only one with that mentality?

Are you established in a FC? If not, I'd consider a move. Hyperion has a ton of players without being overloaded like Balmung, and I'm sure Excalibur (also a Legacy server) has a big playerbase too.

I know it's kind of a pain to pay the transfer fee, but I think it's worth it... especially if you can play with a RL friend and never have to worry about Aether data center congestion ever again.

What did Thayos suggest I move to the same server hes on?!?!? omg I nearly died of shock. :p but in all seriousness I 100% completely agree with what you said, however the catch 22 there is, Ive been playing on my server since launch so Ive made friends, including a few IRL ones I go to tranfer or start on that server with me... so if i moved servers Id have o convince them to come too and I dont see that happening. if it werent for that issue then yes Id move without a second thought

There will probably be people doing old content for the gear (except all gear in coil looks stupid :c) after Alexander is on farm but as of right now everyone is going to be leveling up their jobs, and then in a week or two everyone doing Alexander. Don't expect to clear Coil with a group for a while.

I played on Gilgamesh with a couple friends but most of them unsubbed during 2.5~2.55 so I realm transferred to Ultros to play with people I've known for a couple years. My personal opinion is that if $18 is nothing to you, transfer. Just remember though that anyone you introduce to the game might not like it as much as you. All ~8 or so of the friends I've introduced to the game didn't stay subbed past lv30, so just be aware it's really not everyone's cup of tea and don't get jaded if you spend $18 to play with your friends and they ditch you.

I suspect that'll change in a few weeks once everyone has finished the story base story and gotten to 60. That really is the real priority. Pony farms, relics, glamour farming, etc can all wait.

considering the sher amount of ppl that 60 wouldnt that mean they finished the story already? or are the grinding to 60 w/o story? btw am I reading a site wrong of does story stop at 57? Also i dont think a few weeks would change anything because then theyd be doin alexander or w/e

The story quests have level requirements. Most people who're doing a variety of things won't really notice it until about 56 or 57.

The story itself goes through 60.

Btw when I select my character at start up why does my connection say "Poor" (it didnt used to be) and also why am I getting extreme lag in zones that are not even physically populated by a bunch of other players? I understand lag and slow down when you have a million players around you doing a fate or hunt... but when youre the only one in the zone doing a fate..... it shouldnt be lagging and stuttering right?

That might be a personal issue, or one unique to your server. My connection shows as being Excellent on the character select screen, in the Aether datacenter. Lagging (i.e. rubberbanding, delayed actions) while alone indicates a connection problem, whether on your end, or between you and the server. Stuttering (i.e. screen freezes, shutter-like effect when whipping your camera around) could indicate hardware issues.

well by "stuttering" I mean instyead of my character moving fluidly from point a to b hes starts moving stop appeard 3 feet from where he was originall.. stops... appears 3 feet again... i think that would technically constitute as lag/FPS dropping

We call that rubber banding.

well i tried restarting my pc for the first time in weeks (usually just leave it running) that helped.. for 5 mins then it started going back ti single digit FPS... my next step was run CCleaner get rid of 600mb of junk, deleted erroneous registry files, run a virus scan (which turned up clean), then defrag and optimize my hard drive, then restarted again... and so far its running just fine (though Im only playing on directx 9 now... I havent tried on dx11 again yet)

Ok so I know you can character transfer to a server that has a restriction in place... but now I encountered a new problem.. this time the server I wanted to join wasnt grayed out but when you try to create the character on it you get a 3709 error (which is supposedly mean that server has reached its character creation limit) if that the case then why would they even remove the creation restriction? Just to give ppl false hope? Anyway would a server transfer work about the 3709 error too?

New expansion out..
That really does say it all really, like all new content most players are going to be sticking with it. I personally want 3 jobs to 60, geared and then I will see what to do next.

I personally want to get Coil done and dusted for the Story but that's it. I don't see me getting to it again for at least another few weeks.

Give it time and people will go back and do the stuff they didn't get finished but at the moment I don't see anyone caring about the likes of T13 and again pretty obvious why.

I heard the Tonberry on the Mana server is really active.
Maybe give a try there.
