I'm from Odin, europe.
But, my friend is in Balmung. I wanted join/transfer in same her server so bad.
I heard Balmung is long locked. I'm sadly and can't waiting it open.
She said would Stormblood come out and new players get free all servers?
It's will work?

Unlikely. Balmung is locked because too many players on. Won't be open until there are less.

Balmung will likely not be open when Stormblood comes out. It may be closed anywhere from a few months to years. When Stormblood launches, free transfers off of High population servers (Balmung and Gilgamesh) will be made available to designated low population servers. These low population servers have not been selected yet.
Hope that helps. -

It's locked until the populations stabilizes. That's going to rely on people actually leaving, which I'm sure plenty will; but there's also going to be a stubborn chunk (hopefully not majority, but maybe) that refuse to take advantage of the free transfers. It definitely won't open up when Stormblood launches, that would defeat the point of the lock; it could be a few weeks after, or it could be months.

I'd like to think the incentive of an increased gil transfer (though i can see some being sour if it actually is removed like I saw mentioned it may) along with possibly getting full refunds on houses. I'd think it would be a good chance for people to pack up and create a new RP server together.

It's really suck.... When I goes sadly
But, if they have cross-server. When I put her in friend list and invite her.
We can see in city? Without dungeons/raids. -

If you want to play with your friend you have 2 options.
Either you both move to a new server and play from there or
You move to the same DATACENTER and use the PRIVATE PartyFinder to play with your friend. -
05-24-2017, 06:06 AMKeydahNo...the only thing cross-server is instances. You can chat cross-server by having her join your Party Finder ad, but you can't see each other unless you queue into an instance.Quote:

Have your friend move to Odin. I've seen many on Balmung complaining about not being able to play with friends. Instead of whining about it, they could transfer to their friend's server, which if enough active players do, could help alleviate Balmung's population bloat.

05-24-2017, 07:23 AMKeydahI'm sure many people feel the same way (though I think it's irrational, personally, now that cross-server PF exists), therefore it will probably be a long time before it unlocks. But hey, the longer the better - that's fewer people that can get sucked into the "gotta be on THE highest pop server" black hole.Quote:

Are you in Europe? try out the latency first on NA servers... Create an alt on Mateus or something...

I'm on Hyperion, and there are PLENTY of people. Seriously, I don't get the obsession with Balmung's mammoth population. Yes, this game has some low-population servers, but it also has several medium-population servers that offer all the benefits of Balmung without any of the server instability, severe housing shortages, etc.

05-24-2017, 09:05 AMZojhaMhm, most of them seem to have much stronger crafter oligopolies controlling the market board. For a non-crafter, that's a pretty big perk. That could of course be rectified by making the market board cross-server as well, but... said oligarchs would not be pleased. At all.Quote:

05-24-2017, 09:17 AMOcieKoNot really a problem, usually about 5-6 specialists that work each item that tend to keep each other in check from what ive noticed. And aside from first month over-priced bloat most things get pretty reasonable pretty quick. The super small servers might have a bigger issue with this. If were being perfectly fair i think market players cause more of the pricing issues that crafters/gatherers/monster resource farmers, and usually thats with either mass buy mark-ups (tho as more of a first hand supplier this helps me usually), or massive mark-downs into levels below value to farm.Quote:

It will open once they can get control of the server population

05-24-2017, 08:11 PMOwlBlackXMy friend would do it.Quote:
