Just a warning, you are no longer allowed to make new characters on Asura.

This thread took longer than I thought it would to pop up.

Unlike on some other games, this isn't a time of day thing either.
So only way to get on is if someone transfers, which is why people are keeping it quiet I guess. Yep, been a thing for a number of days now. It's apparently even preventing Gold World Passes from being created.
Also surprised it took so many days for a thread to be created. There's been a couple of posters on the official forums, a post on the new FFXI subreddit, and I think some buried comment on the old one. Not much mention elsewhere. They need to retire old characters and release the names. Purge em!

I was wondering when SE was going to do this. Reminds me of what Yoshida did for Balmung heh.
I have many questions. Has this happened before? Did the Galka bots do this? If someone is banned, is that slot opened? What are the consequences on the economy with no one allowed to come in?
This seems spooky to me. Asura.Sirris said: » They need to retire old characters and release the names. Purge em! They should just delete all of the banned characters on all worlds already. This would free up quite a bit of slots.

This will have a big impact on so many things.
Prices are going to rise on many things on Asura AH, due to lack of supply. Prices of stuff is going to drop on every other server due to too much. This should be pretty easy for them to fix, the issue is if they want to or if they want to try promote other servers like Bahamut. It has no real affect on anything. It's not like actual new players were flooding in. The only mild affect it may have is supply drops to the ghosttown servers. As those server jumpers will be afraid they can't get back to asura.
It is funny though, I do "look forward to it" to their overreaction and hollow apology.

I definitely made manual transfers off server to get supplies while I built aman trove mules. Thank god I brought those back in time.
Finally. Now people can think about going other places for a change.

Could someone explain to me the impact this has on the economy? Not trying to be a smart-***, I genuinely don't know.
The overall number of people shouldn't affect anything, should it? If there are more people supplying, then theoretically there should also be more people demanding. If supply and demand are both going up in a 1:1 ratio, it shouldn't affect anything, should it? Obviously I'm missing something here. In theory it's harder to make new bots and new bots provide all the raw materials for crafting stuff. and making rema.
No one can jump over 10,000 beits or 30,000 alex or 5 million M.Silvers from ghosttown server X. But that's a 6 months from now problem. aka, not a problem. I was wondering why dynamis jeuno was empty today. The bots were banned and they can’t get back on it seems? Damn.

I thought it would have a big impact on the economy but honestly people know how to get around the lock to get back to Asura, so it will probably have little.

Considering the game wasnt supposed to support cross server commerce, its a valid assumption to consider that importation/exportation of items and flux of cash wasnt a big thing compared to servers economy. Thus, hardly impacting deflation /inflation. But it could make RMTs work harder, if they work with the strategy of farming cash on emptier server to sell on assura. But also im not sure how many RMTs work with servers transfer commerce. RadialArcana said: » This will have a big impact on so many things.

I know people that go to Asura to sell stuff since it obviously sells faster than on my server. This will be a road block.

Do tell. Wake up at 4am. Delete one of your mules to free a spot. Transfer over your carpetbagger. Hope someone didn't take the spot while you were farting about. I haven't tested it but it probably works.

There was some guy bragging on the asura Facebook group last spring about exploiting and hqing Rostams and such on dead servers and transferring to asura. Sucks to be them.

I wonder how long before we see his thread crying about the banhammer. I think it will help prices on Audra. Currently people from
Other servers come here and buy stuff then leave. You’ll see XDyisisnnnn buy 6 moonbow necklaces and pay stupid prices as an example. |
