Dying to ask can you remember half the people you have seen in the last month...by name?? You are constantly seeing people you have not seen before everytime you log in.

This will only help destroy what Mateus has started up if it remains open more than a week or two.

Perhaps I do. It is odd though - I see many people talking about how everyone will rush to Balmung, but I see very few people saying they will move over there.
Time will tell though.

Do you not recognize the people who stick to certain areas? I suppose a perk to being locked is getting familiar with regulars :P

Wait, we might actually get newbies in the NN. I doubt it, but there's a chance!

No I don't as I am part of the thousands of fresh faces that you dont notice that simply pass through.

RIP balmung, you gonna have it rough

People have already been bemoaning the 'weeks' (hint: it's been 10 days, and two weeks is at 14 days) that housing has been open that they couldn't buy.

Well they could have simply said that they first will open up houses and that some days later the worlds will all be open again. This way people are able to choose what they want. Do they want a house or do they want to be on a certain server (I do wish that we would not even need such descisions but sadly SE does not want to change housing)

In the end we can all post "SE we told you so" if certain data centers will crash. (Which will hopefully not be the case because that would be bad for those players)

Personally I think the community Mateus has established will be enough to keep many players from jumping ship.
