What was that your character was riding yesterday?
It looked like a flying alligator ^^
I addition, I have a general question specifically for you and the outspark team.
I am just curious as to why the characters are not centralized between the servers?
What I mean by that is, why can't a person use the same characters no matter which server they log on to?
It just seems like the logical way to do it.
If you eventually find the need to add yet another server (which seem very likely given the popularity) people will have to create yet another set of characters and start over again.
:(
And please open the fiesta store!

ps. I think you GMs are awesome and you and GM Dakkon seem to have a great sense of humor and a little mischief and chaos every once in a while in the game from the GMs keeps the game from becoming mundane.
Just my opinion.
:D

That's an easy and good question. (sorry, I'm not a GM but I know this)

Each Fiesta server runs on it's very own database and possibly its own separate server box. If characters were transferrable, that would take a tremendous amount of resources to move thousands to millions of players back and forth between databases. Also, each server has a slightly different economy. Prices may vary from server to server in user shops.

It would be a total chaos if characters are located at both servers...ever wonder what would happen to KQ? people will go 1 server join KQ if they miss they go another server and try to get it...lol a total chaotic situation...also if both servers are linked then wonld'nt it be the same as just having it as in 1 server?what's the difference?the creaters can just make teva server space 2x of original and removing apoline

Not exactly the servers wouldnt be linked but rather they would just connect to a seperate database where characters are stored very similar to the way Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst works. Thats what would happen if they had've chosen to migrate characters to any server

Also depending on the capacity and connection on Apoline its most likely cheaper for the staff to run 2 seperate servers instead of 1 huge server. I personally dont mind the extra server but what got me down is they have seperate character databases instead of a main database. But I dont mind playing on Teva its way more populated than Apoline and I can easily ignore the spam bots and its quite easy for me to get into KQ so I have no reason to go onto Apoline xD
