So this one time on Balmung

...I thought it would be fun to make an alt for roleplaying so I waited until three minutes before the scheduled maintenance began to roll a new character but could not create the aforementioned RP character because you people Would not log off. What was so bloody interesting that you just couldn't bear to pull yourselves away? Thanks guys, now I get to try again at 5AM. Fun, fun, fun! (ALL YOUR FAULT.)

at least you have an opportunity to create a character on the server.
I had to use a world transfer to get on Balmung.

If it is that bad just world-transfer, or you could roll on Sargatanas or Faerie, I hear they have some RP communities.
