Incoming people curious about the "ERP" who will then leave within the month lol
Never thought id see the day, glad i left lol
Welp, back to being closed for new characters. Knew that wasn't going to last for too long. XD

Just closed again...
I would make one but at the same time I want to wait for femronso
Did it go back to congested? I'm surprised the opened up Balmung today. I thought for sure it would stay locked until the free transfers were through and things were settled down in the new data centers. Maybe even until post ShB launch given how crazy Balmung queue times were on SB launch.
I doubt it... it's probably just loaded with characters both on server and visiting. Might need to wait for early morning if it's not accepting more characters at the moment. I have a level 70 whm there but made another alt there this morning when the server came up. I want a potential Hrothgar there for fun. :)
Thank the universe....no more balmung.
Right now its too 'congested' for regular character creation, but transfers are still open. At this rate it might only be open for a week or less, and the only shot some people have throughout Shadowbringers. Its great if you want that crowded city vibe.
Aww, it actually let me select the server on CC, then I spent too long on customization and thinking of a name and it locked right back up lol
God help us.
Also today I had a login queue. I cried.
(I didn't really cry though because I'm a highlander male and we shave our eyebrows instead).
The servers seem pretty smooth though in the actual game, so that's cool :). Maybe in a few years or so we'll have pretty much seamless no border and no restriction servers (sort of the perfected shard concept people may be familiar from some other games).
Balmung starter cities were so crowded it started to affect my FPS xD. I visited the other servers and only Mateus comes close in terms of crowd size xD.
I'm so torn! I had moved away a few months ago, and I really missed Balmung at first, but Coeurl has a lot of new faces which has been nice. The world visiting is actually quite smooth (from my limited testing).
Have they made any official statements as to whether or not you will still be able to visit Balmung once it's locked down on transfers?
It is still open to world visit even though it is locked for new characters. Only if a world is labeled as a congested world will it hinder the world travel system.
* Depending on the congestion of the target World, it may take several minutes to complete the transfer. Transfers will occur automatically and cancel all current actions/duties.
How is Balmung for older dungeons? I'm on Ultros and tired of 1+ hour ques on things like Odin.
As has been said queues pull from everyone in the datacenter.
For Odin specifically though you can expect long queues for it as it isn't in Trial Roulette so you can only get people directly queuing for it or people doing Mentor Roulette in your party.
For content that isn't in normal roulettes (examples include Odin, Extreme Primals, Minstrel's Ballad fights, Coil, and Savage Raids) you'll have better luck using Party Finder to get a group together than the Duty Finder.
I can't even choose a different DC at character creation. I only get choices that are on Aether :(
