Transfer Restrictions and Roleplayers

[Kuroneko_Jutah]

Where there is a need, someone will fill it. I'm a little peeved that I can no longer bring friends to my server (I had started them on a smaller pop world so as not to overwhelm them with a massive amount of other players and the idea was that as soon as they reached the level cap on their free trials they'd sub up and transfer over so I could take them through higher level content) but I understand the need to do something about it.

If new RP players cannot move to Balmung for the foreseeable future, another (possibly temporary) home for new RP players will spring up to fill that need. In all honesty we should be encouraging population growth on the smaller servers anyway, many of them have grossly untenable markets in desperate need of some item production and competition. Rather than continue to allow overcrowding of one or two servers just because "it's the place everyone else is."

Someone mentioned Siren. I'm starting to think we need to promote that. Might make an alt over there just to see how the community is. I have too many connections on Balmung right now to leave it, too many of which have Houses they're not willing to lose because no matter how much housing another server may have, Balmung has perpetuated this instinct of Housing Rarity in players. Its like the Recession back in 2008; if you had a job, you clung to it no matter how crappy it was, cause there was nothing else.
