Incentive to transfer must be increased

While my bf and I did move, and I was the one who initiated that idea, I can totally empathize with people who don't want to because of long time communities. That's what this type of gaming should be about. Our gaming community is coming -in-, so moving made sense for us. We had only been back for a month and had not gotten involved with any FCs or anything in that time, so aside from one friend--that we chat with on Discord regularly and whom we really only do dungeons or POTD with in game anyway--we had nothing to lose. Others do, and while their determination to stay might not be the best for SE's server makeup, it is the cornerstone of a decent person within an MMO community.

Honestly I just hope the server transfer to Balmung opens up soon. While I have enjoyed my time on Siren, it is a painfully small server and I really want to be able to RP more; and with Balmung being the designated RP community (unofficial or otherwise) being constantly locked tight, I don't know of any other servers with the same kind of large, varied community.

It wont, if ever lol.

I think things will start settling down on Balmung eventually. I just wish in the meantime they would grant those who are on the server a free jump and story boost so they can enjoy the game elsewhere until things clear up. Yes, you may miss the community a bit, but you'll at least be able to play the game until such a time that you can continue playing your main. They should clear all the dormant accounts next time and relocate them to other places to help make sure this doesn't happen again.

Why would they do that when you can transfer your main for free and play it right now? Also, if the account is dormant, its not affecting your queues lol. its the 18000 other people who want to log in to the server at the same time.

Mostly because if someone xfers off balmung they are never getting back on that doom train. I highly doubt the server will ever be opened up for transfers again unless a miracle happens and the post expansion dip somehow puts the active populace just under the acceptable threshold.

Well, then in that case you will just have to deal with the queues. they want people off the server, they arent going to give you free jump potions lol.

After reading some of this thread all I really have to say is...

There are Balmung memes and stereotypes for a reason. Thank you for adhering to and supporting them.

I ended up moving last night from Gilga. Coeurl was locked and Mateus had 0 houses (in the Goblet no less) so went over to Goblin. Purchased myself a nice medium house which feels so enormous after having my former small.

Duty Finder and, especially, cross-world party finder helped greatly in my decision. Without them I would have not moved.

Welcome to Goblin. Glad to have you, and glad that you saw there was no reason in being so inflexible about moving.
