Wow. Not sure about anyone else, but doesn't it seem that 95% of server transfers are low life, drama inducing, pieces of garbage? /adds another tally to the chalkboard of transfer trash.
I do think a large percentage of people who hop servers are shady/gil buying/account buying type people. However, researching blue gartr server population you can learn alot about each servers social enviroments.
Quetzacoatl is a very "closed" off type server socially from outsiders. Everything from a social perspective is very different from the majority of servers. Particually the endgame aspect.
Most servers openly use third party programs for HNM related activities. Here it is such a huge thing. That causes quite an uproar. Ultimatley dooming anyones reputation who associates with such shells.
Servers transfers are in general treated unkindly and although it is understandable why, due to this servers experience with server transfer players. I think alot of people are misjudged.
Lets take Midgardsormor for example. There, servers transfer players are much more welcome. Server transfer HNMls are not a huge thing there because, HNM is very overcamped.
This servers HNM scene draws players from all over seeking HNM gear because everything is undercamped.
Alot of servers, 70 @ Aspidochelone, 50+ King Behemoth, 90+ Fafhogg. 24-7 Hold parties at Tiamat, Khimaira, Cerberus. Usually consisting with mules dualboxed by sackholders.
Quetz: 1 LS watching Tiamat, Usually spawns and wanders for half and hour or so before it is claimed.
Cerberus : I remember times it was up for 5 hours before it was tagged. Its pretty lol
Khimaira: This is an unusual one, Khimaira is actually more camped than both.
Dark Ixion and SW pop everyday so they are usually camped on the spot but if you observe FFXIAH, prices are dropping. Within a few years, these will wander.
As long as HNM remains so free, you can bet this will have a new transfer shell every 3-4 months. The cycle will go on forever.
I mean if you really think about it, its like candyland for alot of players. Most servers you could never have hope to get your adaman hauberk, your ridill or your dalmatica.
Here, one shell gathers at aspidochelone. I mean free abody. I remember Nichollete sand Rinoas talking in LS about it. Aspid was like day 7 and NO ONE was in zone but Rinoas and few afk members of Insuir waiting on pop. And it drops often. At least in my experience.
I always wondered why shells like Reunited, Origin, BloodOfLegends etc, you know the more skilled dedicated shells to sky/sea/dyna etc didnt spam ziilart kings or anything. It was mostly just Integ/Pers/Kaizen and even then trhose shells got Free aspids and KBs at times. Not to mention Khims,Cerb,Tia.
Even Xzerper killed a handful of each.
Not all servers transfer players come here for HNM though. I think its just that aspect alone that draws the majority here.
I think King Arthor is more overcamped than any NM/HNM on quetz. Which is kinda lol.
Your probably thinking "No wai, fafnir is", Actually I searched DA the other day and only 1 shell was there. More could have gathered later on in windows but 14 ppl at Fafnir even for windows 1-3 is kinda LOL.
Its cute. I admire these servers layed back way of doing things. Maybe its not all about king gear with most HNM shells. However, that is almost always not the case with most servers HNM endgame shells.
