Balmung and Gilgamesh Crisis

[Bourne_Endeavor]

We made Balmung a roleplaying server ourselves. We have the option to migrate since we aren't official. We have the power to change this, but again people are stubborn, and they don't want to leave, unless there was a mass exodus, but it won't come. Not enough people will make it happen. It's irony of itself.

That is to be expected. Call them excuses all you fancy, wanting to stay with your friends is perfectly justifiable, especially in a game where social interaction is a major selling point. It isn't stubbornness, it is simply putting our own enjoyment above random strangers on the internet. You are essentially asking people give up potential connections with those who aren't willing to transfer, their house and/or all work put into their FC for... what exactly? Square Enix had years to figure this out and chose to happily collect $18 instead. If it's bad enough, they could make a brand new RP server and allow Balmung players to transfer their houses and FCs over without any fuss. But that would cost them a lot of money. So... we know that won't happen.

Got another question guys. About FCs, and yeah I looked around and didn't find anything official.

Can FCs be transferred? I have a small max level one with a friend and was hoping to bring it over. If not, do FC owners transferring to a preferred world get any aid in rebuilding their FC? I vaguely remember reading that somewhere but can't find where I read it.

I'm actually quite certain that Balmung is going to get force split since I doubt it's going to reach the levels they want.

Not yet, FC stuff is coming later.

I doubt they go that route. They aren't just going to randomly split the server, and even if they did, people will just transfer to wherever their friends end up or quit the game entirely. It's far more likely they just keep Balmung locked indefinitely. Despite what some insist, I suspect the server is more than capable of handling the population it currently has, but was locked to prevent a crisis scenario.
