I wouldn't call asking for the termination of transference restrictions in two threads in this forum so they can all go to Balmung "trying to find a new server to call home".

I suspect had more to do with something about the original 2.0 server structure not giving them the ability to lock transfers into Worlds. Transferring a newly created character into Balmung/Gilgamesh was originally a bypass discovered when character creation on those servers was locked. They may have wanted to do this long ago but were unable to until they moved the NA datacenter and updated the JP and EU datacenters.

I might've misunderstood your question? I just recall seeing a thread on Reddit a few hours or so ago about RPers on Balmung trying to find a new RP server. I didn't go back to see if anything happened in it, so I don't know if it was shot down. If I'm wrong, can you tell me why? I honestly don't know what's going on anymore x.x

They are talking about this thread and another thread on the forums saying no RPers will play because they can't get into balmung.

You mean like what I experience every day on Faerie?

Face it, your perception of the other servers has been so thoroughly warped by being on a server that has something like twice the population of everything else.

A perception so biased that it is useless in a discussion.

Ooooh. Thank you for clearing that up! I had thought that RPers were getting tired of Balmung and wanted to find a new home server. I don't know why I thought that, to be honest. I hope everything works out in the end for them.

I suspect Balmung's playerbase isn't as unified as some RPer's think. Some are complaining about their friends not being able to transfer into Balmung like they planned, while others are seeing the benefit of transferring a large group from Balmung to somewhere with more room.

delet balmung as well as this thread

Oh yeah, I am talking about another thread in this forum This is what is getting us confused :P

In the other thread (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...nd-Roleplayers) some people were saying that SE should make Balmung an official RP server and enforce restrictions on non-RPers (who should just suck it and transfer out).

My criticism is towards how entitled people coming here with these ideas are. They not only want to take over the server but also for other people to pay for their exclusive mega-server. I can only hope they are not representative of the RP community as a whole.

It actually calls to mind something I'd see a lot in the early days of WoW, where entire guilds would transfer to somewhat less populated servers in an effort to avoid the performance problems and queues that the server problems presented. None of that was really assisted by the company though like we're seeing here.
