In a lengthyupdate postfrom directorNaoki Yoshidaon The Lodestone, he explains digital sales will resume from 25th January.
However, if extreme congestion continues this decision may be reversed.
Further, the free trial will continue after monitoring server stability for a while longer.
The post also gives an update on global server capacity, something that’s contributed to thelong queue times.
As an incentive to move, the transfer fee will be waived for players in the Oceania region.
Next, the Data Centre Travel System has been postponed until a future 6.1x patch.
This was delayed due to the global shortage of components, which has made acquiring new servers difficult.
Another update, with information on future content, is planned for the end of February.
