Way to be completely misleading with your thread title. Go to a different server. Balmung is THE MOST POPULAR NA server. So it's your own fault for trying to play on the most popular server at an MMO launch. If you're new to MMOs, I don't blame you as much for not understanding, but if you don't want to have long wait times to play during peak hours during an MMO's launch, then you need to play on another server. If you chose to play on the most populated server, then you have no right to complain.
