Square: You need to open servers before this community is slowly choked

I agree and yet another open Balmung thread. They aren't going to open it until the numbers reach a level that they deem appropriate.

/delete wrong thread.

This was back at the start of SB so they actually had to get paid transfers which is pretty stupid as SE is like "play with your friends!".

And then you have the situations where the servers are locked where people can't even get into the servers in the first place it's pretty discouraging honestly and flawed as the point of an MMO is to attract more people but also make sure your current subs are happy with the service you're providing.

Another of these threads.... The whole point of this lock-down is to lower the population. Just transfer...

Stay and die or transfer and live.

SE is not going to expand on its resources for Balmung when it has many medium and low pop severs for players to move into. The problem is that you're trying push SE into giving you a cake and eating it on a plate that's already full of food when it has plenty of empty plates to put your cake on.

And yes, I'm actually using a real world analogy. That's how annoyed I am with these kind of threads.

Are people really still opening more threads over the same issue -.-;...if you can't transfer and want to play with friends you can do cross world parties. IF SE has closed the transfer services to help congestion does common sense not kick in? IF people want to play with their friend why not have them transfer to other servers outside of Balmung beside the fact that they may have a housing plot OR just make new friends -.-...

(I'm not on Balmung, so no Reason to tell me to move)

Yup, it seems like "all those players can't handle it".

TL;DR FF XIV game engine is poorly designed, i.e. it can't support many players in one location.

p.s. even if it's ^ kinda offtopic, it's still a problem.

Do we really need a Balmung whine thread about this every other day? Your server is overloaded they are not opening it up again until it stabilizes. Accept it or find another server.

isn't there a balmung area on the forums this could go instead of in general?

I wish Balmung was open. I had friends on there that I enjoyed playing with. IRL friends invited me to their server, so I left and then they up and decided they aren't going to play this game after all. Now I'm stuck in a server where I don't know anyone and the only interaction I have with my Balmung friends is through cross server /tell and party finder with no way to transfer back. Especially since now, even if it DID open, I'm on a 90 day lockout from transfers. It sucks.

Funny how OP thinks Balmung being locked is killing the entire game.
