Suspension of Character Creation on Bahamut World (Mar. 17)

[Not Kuno]

FINAL FANTASY XI Official Web Site

Due to the drastic increase in the population of the Bahamut World, we have decided to suspend the following operations to prevent any further increase in the population of the Bahamut world.

- Transferring character(s) to the Bahamut world using the World Transfer Service
- Creating new character(s) on the Bahamut world
- Issuing Gold World Passes in the Bahamut world

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

Also we have decided to invite players to emigrate to the below listed worlds. If you wish to emigrate, please follow the instructions below and apply as soon as possible.

In case the emigration campaign and the above measures have no effect on the congestion of the Bahamut world, measures such as forced transfers to other worlds or splitting the Bahamut world into a number of separate worlds may be considered.

* If you wish to emigrate, please refer to "World Emigration Guidelines" and apply as soon as possible.

* World Emigration differs from the World Transfer service in that there will be no need to purchase a World Transfer, and the 90-day exclusion from the World Transfer service will not apply.

* Characters who have already used the World Transfer service within the last 90 days will still be able to participate in World Emigration, but the 90-day exclusion from the World Transfer service will still continue.

[Important Reminders]

If you are considering applying for World emigration, please read the following points and apply early to ensure a smooth transition.

When emigrating:
Emigration of characters is done one character at a time, not one PlayOnline ID at a time. If you request emigration for any of your other characters, please conduct all applications separately.

Character name:
If your character happens to have the same name as another player in the destination World, you will have to change your name before entering that World. If you need to change your name, your name will be shown in yellow, and you must follow the on-screen instructions. This name change will not affect your Friend List.

Delivery Box/Auction items:
All items up for auction and in your Delivery Box will be lost when you emigrate. Please collect these items before moving. Any items in your inventory and Mog Safe will be transported with you to the new world.

Regarding used linkshells:
Linkpearls or pearlsacks cannot be transferred over and will be destroyed in the emigration process. However, the linkshell owner will automatically receive a new unopened linkshell upon arrival in the new World.

Regarding the exchange of old linkshells with unopened linkshells:
If a linkshell owner emigrates, the player's old linkshell will be deactivated and a new unopened linkshell will be automatically provided. If you have an unused linkshell, you may bring it to the new World.

I hear Remora is a wonderful place guys.

[Ziero]

Saw this one comin actually, so which one is gonna be the next server to fill up?

[ringthree]

*pats Bahamut on the back*

Welcome to the club, kid!

[antihero]

dead game

[Riki]

Saw this one comin actually

Me too. Compared to Odin they were a bit faster this time to lock the server down for transfers. Still took them too long imo.

http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/70316-bahamut-full.html

so which one is gonna be the next server to fill up?

I call Asura, because that would be the 3rd largest server. And all the sheep want full servers to play on.

[Arthars]

phew no ifrit on the list

[Seraph]

Bahamuts Closed; AIDS from Odin.

[Not Kuno]

So did Odin start losing people? Has the closed server done anything like that or is it still super full?

[Hyan]

Checking ffxiah it looks like odin and bahamut just switched places . Odin 17,500 Bahamut 19,500

[Ziero]

I call Asura, because that would be the 3rd largest server. And all the sheep want full servers to play on.

I can see Asura, they're the third largest character population and they have far more AH transactions then any other server by a wide margin. And since new/returning players seem to flock to the most populated servers (I'll never understand why seeing as that's retarded to do) Asura will be the one drawing the crowd now.

So did Odin start losing people? Has the closed server done anything like that or is it still super full?

According to FFXI AH, Odin is still full.

[Arthars]

all these server over population is 80% caused by people fancying the name "Odin" and "Bahamut" and then have their friends buy world passes together

try a server name "Anus" and i bet its empty

[Riki]

I'll never understand why seeing as that's retarded to do

People are retarded.

[Hyan]

try a server name "Anus" and i bet its empty

I'd definitely switch to Anus if there was a server like that D:

[Whaleporn]

Atmos looks like an anus.

Atmos server is so empty fafnir is up.

Good call.

[ringthree]

So did Odin start losing people? Has the closed server done anything like that or is it still super full?

Down a little bit from peak, but still above what it was when they first announced that Odin was too filled.

[Wulfgang]

I couldn't transfer to Odin about a week ago to buy an item; ended up going through a seller on Leviathan.

[Lampoon]

Did they actually force transfer any one off Odin?

[Taliesin]

Finally....

I still don't believe this will allow us to Nyzul on week-ends, but still...

[Dimmauk]

all these server over population is 80% caused by people fancying the name "Odin" and "Bahamut" and then have their friends buy world passes together

try a server name "Anus" and i bet its empty

Or Unicorn or Fairy. Unless you are a tween girl you dont pick those servers.












Btw, I'm on Unicorn.
