Thinking about changing servers.....
By Mikumaru 2020-12-22 09:53:13
Two questions since I haven't changed servers in over a decade: I'm about 1100/1500 plates into Daub, if I change does this get affected? Should I complete this stage before?
And is there any Endgame Linkshells recruiting with event start times in the 7-9 pm EST time slot? Looking for mainly Dynamis and Omen, other stuff is cool too. Thnx all.

I didn precisely check this matter but afaik, everything related to the player is unchanged regardless of server.
Only thing to take care is the stuffs that momentarily left your player possesion. That is:
- items placed in AH. It will stay in original server AH, not going to move
- items in your delivery box: same thing, it wont move with you
- linkshell: your shell gonna transform in the item new linkshell.

Are you looking for a specific server? Or just a random server when somebody might say something?
But don't go to Asura.

Asura is sort of a last option. Not ideal but I won't say no. With populations dwindling it would be silly to refuse. O have no preference. Money is tight and dropping $50+on a gamble like this isn't my nature, so what's the harm in asking and starting a conversation?

Yes.
Ask a general question not focused on any one particular server and get a general answer not focused on any one particular server.
Yes. There are endgame linkshells recruiting for players. Some servers are likely more thirsty for new blood.
You should probably narrow down what you're looking for and what you can bring as far as geared jobs and experience.
What I expect people look like when they force Asura into every conversation about servers:

Asura is fair game in this case. To "hur dur" it just shows you wanting to either start something or being stupid. I'm guessing the latter in this case.

Don't think so, but it doesn't hurt to ask people who've done it.
Packets™ on Bahamut is recruiting, moderately.

You lose everything in your delivery box (so take stuff out of it), and lose all LS and everything on the AH.
I don't think you loss REMA progression because I was dumping HP-Bayld in for Epeo and that remained after I swapped severs.
I went Quetz (200-400 people online) -> Odin (700-1,100 people online) [Albeit mostly Japanese].

As others listed you only miss out on dbox items and anything on the AH. To make things easier for yourself as far as linkshells you could look at the forums for servers and see what linkshells are recruiting for members around that time. This way when you transfer you already have a shell.

All the recruitment posts are 2+ months old and on Asura. But I'll check again in a week or 2

Since COVID is dying down, not as many people are coming back as it was earlier in the year. That's why recruitment posts went away.

I didn’t check times but there’s 5 asura shells that have been updated in the past 3 weeks, there’s also 2 shells on bahamut that have been updated recently too. Waiting a few weeks, possibly after the holidays should give better results. Good luck

Leviathan, BannedChildrenDeux, have fun. We don't have a recruitment thread, but new members are always welcome, as long as you aren't a drama llama you will be fine. We like all players with various levels of progression, we will teach ya, just be a team player.

You have nothing to gain on Asura. You will see constant floods of shout spam. Barely shout groups to play with, everything is lowman.
What you will see at any point of the day on Asura, within 60 seconds: JP shouts (selling)

Use your imagination. Random person claiming Odoro ate their [insert random mat they are lying about]. 5 people take the bait. Another dozen go trade Odoro items his bot drops to the floor, then brags about it. Repeat every two hours.

The fix for the majority of spam:
You will need to download Notepad++ probably (or at least I did) to make a .lua, unless I'm stupid.
make a new folder (I called it stars, obviously)
Copy paste [the code below] onto note++ save as Stars.lua
Drop it in the new file, drop file in add-ons
//lua load stars
(then add stars to the init text so that its always on)
and then:
Here's a quick and dirty addon that's more like Masunasu's but actually only checks the incoming chat packet, has some modes added, and is easier to add other strings.
Code _addon.name = '***'
_addon.version = '0.10'
_addon.author = 'Chiaia (Asura)'
_addon.commands = {'***','fo'} --Won't do anything atm.
packets = require('packets')
local blackListedUsers = T{'TotallyABotOne','TotallyABotTwo','TotallyABotThree',} -- Want to block all messages from X user then added there name(s) here.
-- I could do a general digit check on JP instead of set 500/2100 values but atm I feel it's not needed. Will see if they change thier tactics.
-- If you want to learn more about "Magical Characters" or Patterns in Lua: https://riptutorial.com/lua/example/20315/lua-pattern-matching
local blackListedWords = T{string.char(0x81,0x99),string.char(0x81,0x9A),'1%-99','Job Point.*2100','Job Point.*500','JP.*2100','JP.*500','Capacity Point.*2100','Capacity Point.*500','CP.*2100','CP.*500',} -- First two are '☆' and '★' symbols.
windower.register_event('incoming chunk', function(id,data)
if id == 0x017 then -- 0x017 Is incoming chat.
local chat = packets.parse('incoming', data)
local cleaned = windower.convert_auto_trans(chat['Message']):lower()
if blackListedUsers:contains(chat['Sender Name']) then -- Blocks any message from X user in any chat mode.
return true
elseif (chat['Mode'] == 3 or chat['Mode'] == 1 or chat['Mode'] == 26) then -- RMT checks in tell, shouts, and yells. Years ago they use to use tells to be more stealthy about gil selling.
for k,v in ipairs(blackListedWords) do
if cleaned:match(v:lower()) then
return true
end
end
end
end
end) All of that came about from this thread:

As far as Linkpearls at the NPC goes, it's about to be free-to-play which means Linkshells are going to need to keep the NPCs stocked with them due to the large influx of lonely players coming back and finding their old shells empty. Just keep that in mind. Free-to-play starts on Christmas and goes until early January. The fourth of January, I think.

Buukki forgot the most important, the Samusaron/Tifny/Samshent drunk shouts. Easily worth the transfer fee.
