Must I join the Eternal Flame?

[Teknoman]

Ishgard will be the main fix, but that's down the road.

Half the issue revolves around players being stubborn and not leaving Ul'dah. If everyone who complained about Ul'dah being overpopulated would just stay away from it and set up shop in one of the other cities, the problem would solve itself.

I hang out in Limsa ~75% of the time and the rest in Grid. I only visit Ul'dah when I absolutely have to.

Agreed, even though Ul'dah is my hometown, and i'm joining the flames just because I like their backstory/rewards. Just join the company you want, because if not...you'll just end up adding to whats seen as "the problem". S-E really cant make players not congregate in certain cities, but they can make it easier to spread the population, which is exactly what they are trying to do with Grand Company and Airships.

Regardless, you CAN do normal Grand Company quests with members from different companies, just not specific things like Caravan Escort.

did you know that you can join all 3 companies? I did.

Not past recruit.

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

If only airships would fix city distribution.

[Griss]

did you know that you can join all 3 companies? I did.

Only as a provisional recruit. If there was a number attached to that rank it would be 0 or -1.

I would actually Love to sign up with the flame full time. But until we know what the improved reward lists are going to look like i cant say for sure, I am a sell sword adventurer after all.

Going LL, with the waiting for MSK and its job counterpart (COR hopefully)...With instant airships there will be a lot more people in each town.

My 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

screw Ul'dah's conveniences, I'm goin maelstrom. The only reason U'ldah is the center of the world is because people decided that. If you want to join a particular company, then do so, daring to be different may even help balance the markets.

[Estellios]

Please everyone, don't pick Ul'dah if you really don't want to. I genuinely like it and it sucks having to hear everyone hate on it haha

You have airships and can do quests and company leves with other people so no excuses!

[Jynx]

I'll be kicking it with the twin adders, Uldah be damned.

[Kerath]

if SE has no plan to fix the Uldah centric issue then... I may quit playing

This will be fixed when they open a city like FFXI's Jeuno, is that Ishgard?
