Transfer Restrictions and Roleplayers

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I just want to express my disappointment at this decision.

Balmung is as popular as it is for a reason, and rather than try to squeeze and constrict the population I'd rather they embrace it for the good news that it is. Its a community that people are willing to sacrifice for in order to join. This is a good thing, and unless the hardware itself is being challenged (its not) this is an overreaction on their part. Anyone who doesn't want to face the crowding issues the server provides is welcome to move elsewhere.

Perhaps free transfers off the server would be a wiser response than trying to suffocate their game's most successful server community.

The server WILL have issues, and has, with expansion launches. And there will be free transfers off, why is nobody READING THE WHOLE POST FROM THE LODESTONE?!

And Balmung is only as popular as it is because everyone tells everyone else to go to Balmung.

It used to be such a nice, mid sized server, without drama....

Also, a lot of us dont want to spend the money to transfer when we've been there since before it existed, though I will likely be taking advantage of the free transfer off, especially with the gil transfer increase.
