Pools Closed (Asura Is Full!)

Pool is closing on Phoenix now

Which server is next?

By the time they are finished all servers will be closed off for transfers!

Next server to see a bump will likely be fenrir, Phoenix has had an incredible arrival of new players (went from 3-400 to 1800-2500 on basic /sea all), I would say the server hasn’t seen what I have seen on asura with 5-10-30 min wait for ambu-seg-…. But it is coming, and maybe in a worst way because 1/2 of the server if not more will lvl and PT on pretty much the same ladder content. Time will tell.

On the other hand, it is refreshing to see such and active player base, even if 1/2 stay, it’s a plus. People asking to open gates here or there and so forth.

is there weird ***going on overnight. 3 nights in a row I wake up to half the chars 4001'd

it's fine all day but overnight it's ***

Double;

L O L close another server, it's clearly working. *** retards.

The absolute incompetence would be staggering if it were most other companies.

this is happening to me as well so it's not only you

Oh yes, let’s close the server that’s mostly new players barely hitting eminent gear. That’ll keep them all playing, for sure. Server upgrades were so abysmal that they can’t even handle new players running to Jeuno for the first time.

SE really out here to kill their momentum for XI to usher in maintenance mode

Uh, citation needed? I've never heard of anyone having any difficulty reaching jeuno, what is this utter nonsense?


What's the problem here? A bunch of people in eminent gear can work their way up through the game. I don't see the problem with this at all.


Oh yeah, the fact that all these servers keep capping out and populations are exploding is clear evidence that their strategy is failing. After the 12th server is capped, then we'll REALLY know for real that they're mismanaging the game.

I think you largely misunderstood the tone and sarcasm in my post.

I can't tell if you're serious or not. you kinda seem like a dumbass the more you post so who knows ig

a closed server is a horrible experience for a new user on FFXI.

bahamut and odin economies are looking horrible, asura was the only self sustaining one. not to mention there will be no other net new players for them to play with post closure, had you considered this?

Aside from the economic cluster *** closing causes

The apparent new player problem is what they don't seem grasp. If all new players went to phoenix then phoenix closes. All the newer players are forced to the next server down,

How in the *** do you get new players to group up when you keep cutting them off at the knees by locking them out of the server that all the new players go to.

It's the most basic rule of management they're breaking.

When did they announce Phoenix is closing?

Today. RSS is broken.

Today.

Thanks.

It really seems they aim to have all servers at more or less the same population, and are going down the list from most populated and still open, shutting them down one by one, until only one server is left open the one with the lowest population.

Once that too gets to within some % of the closed servers, all servers will be opened up again.

Would expect voluntary server transfers to lowest population servers at no cost, but since server transfers are a big money maker.. not surprising they haven't.
