Odin World Character Population (04/14/2008)

[XanthePandy]

Just taking away the option to transfer to Odin and create a new character there should do the trick. I think moving people who transferred isn't really necessary. If you're an hnmls why would you move to a server with high population where you'll get a lot of competition? I don't get it >.>

A handful of LSes did because our HNM scene is actually quite civil and relatively drama-free and not as much of a botting competition as it sounds like it is on other servers. Amusingly, all the LSes who did so really fucking suck at fighting the shit they claim, and have all died out within a few months, or are struggling to still be some sort of existence other than a laughingstock.

[Thistle]

Personally I'm for them banning anyone who uses the shout function for social purposes, would clear out a large swath of retards at least.

Fixed it for me. :rocl:

If anything, they could say 'look, this many have to xfer off or we go arbitrary.' ...

It's about the best solution I can think of that is somewhat fair and isn't completely too much work, though it's still probably more work than they'd be willing to do. :/

They could pay folks to move. "Transfer off Odin and you'll arrive in your new home with an extra 500K gil!" or something like that. That would work for getting a lot of people who don't have close ties to their LS to leave.

RMT would abuse the everloving fuck out of it.

/nod.. I can just imagine them trying even harder to jack accounts which are on Odin so they can make some quick gil.

The other thread about the virus /tell gave me an idea.

Just make a keylogger, /tell everyone on Odin with the link to download, and transfer everyone that falls for it.

Then only people with common sense would be left.

Their goal is to reduce the population, not reduce it to a few hundred.

^^This statement alone makes me want to transfer to Odin.

correct me if i am wrong, but isn't the famous Lightning Brigade in Odin?

They are a group that publish magazines/guides/comics about FFXI. I think that could explain the huge JP population?

this is their webpage

Yea they are on Odin.

[NiggaFromHarlem]

based on what they're saying it's not yet at a point to have to start locking transfers to odin, and when, if, it gets there, they'll do that to solve the problem. forcing people to new servers won't happen

[Infini]

Only way theyd get anyone to move from an overcrowded server IMO would be to create a new server altogether then most ppl will jump there since it wont have an initial population (that and a chance to lockdown every HNM while theyre still up XD)

I'd just like to point out that Odin has one of the highest inflation rates of any server. Players might be moving to Odin on a temporary basis to sell items. RMT might behave this way as well.

Give me a break. A Noble's Tunic is 400k, Sniper's Ring is 250k and you're talking inflation? -.-

Odin is considered "the world to be" under German players. Half a dozen ppl I knew migrated there because of that.

Zee crazy germans! That reminds me building a party last week. We started out with 3 LS mates. I invited others, speaking english, and we ended up with five german and a japanese player. "Du kannst auch deutsch reden, lol"

I was making a grand entrance into Periqia to do ToAU31 and they just took it away from me like I was a paraplegic.
