Dear SE, please unlock Balmung

[Tiggy]

Actually I don't think it is legitimate players that is the issue. It's the hacking bots that is causing the issue. There's quite frankly, a ton of them on Balmung, and nothing appears to be getting done about them. Goto a major quest hub, mainly a story quest npc area, or even just to the npc outside of the sunken temple of qarn. You will see black mage bots teleport hack to the npc, talk to the npc, then teleport hack away.

This is the biggest part of the problem. I'd wager hundreds of server slots are taken up by the bots. It's actively hindering legit players from using the server.

And I didn't say I know how there system works, but I'm not stupid I know how memory space works, it doesn't take a genius to understand that.

Your attitude could use some improvement. You're talking like what you're saying IS the only correct answer. Bots are clearly a big part of the problem as are vast quantities of AFK players.
