So I am trying to transfer to JQ and have been for the last few days, but have yet to see it drop to Very High population. I have checked it constantly during the day and even have checked late at night ~5am and early in the morning ~7am, but with no luck. I have seen other Full servers at Very High during these times, but never JQ.

Does anyone know of a time span when JQ would be akittens lowest population? I guess I may have to resort to checking every 30 mins or so from 3-5am. I would think this would be the down times of the server, but I don’t know. I don’t understand how it could be full all day and all night.

Any suggestions???

Full doesnt mean you cant enter, just means you may end up in an overflow more often. Unless transfering doesnt let you transfer to full ones, Ive only guested, never transfered.

Yes, when transferring, they will not let you transfer to a full server, but they will let you if it is at Very High population. The population status goes by the number of people that are online I believe, so it will fluctuate from Full to Very High depending on that number. However, I have seen some of the full servers go to Very High, but not Jade Quarry.. So I was just trying to see if there was anyone experienced with this that has done it before and what time they were able to transfer.

I am starting to think that server population is not based off the number of players that are currently online. I think that it is based off how many accounts have claimed that server as their home server. Therefore, the only way to transfer to a full server is if someone transfers off or deletes all their characters on that server. If this acquisition is correct… I just wouldn’t even know what to say.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? If it is correct that would mean people that are inactive on but have claimed a full server as their own count towards the population??? So a server that is listed as “full” could really only have a very low population of people that are active? What the kitten!

The reason I think this is correct is because I have heard of two people confirmed that have transferred to a full server during prime time. Also I have checked multiple times during off peak hours ~4am and ~7am and the server is always full. There is no way its full at these times. Plus even the lowest populated servers still say Very High at these times… No way.
