Resolving the Balmung Population Issue at Minimal Cost to the Benefit of All Players

[Aldotsk]

I have a great Idea to make OP to put up or shut up... make Balmung the official RP server then offer to send off the non-RPer to another server... if his numbers are right, either option is viable. So exile the non-RPers. Sounds like a good plan, OP.

I already feel bad as I know hardcore RPers will not want to leave no matter what. They made their bed there, have their housing and other memories on that server that moving to another would be difficult. it would actually be better to send off the non RP community than disrupt people who RP since they have memories and such non-RP will not understand.

Why are RPers memories more important than non rpers? Why should rp'ers get special treatment of a new server that they can transfer to that no one else can with completely open housing wards? What makes you so special as to deserve this when you pay the same sub as the rest of us?

I'm all for this is RP'ers have to pay a special RP sub thats twice that of other players.

I don't RP. I see no point in player housing. If you are so partial to your house, you even have a little RP in you. a player will take what accommodations as needed. who cares where the house is at? Hell, my FC changed houses recently and it didn't even bother me, just had to adjust moving around the beds. I actually gave the counter, non-RPers should get a fresh server off Balmung and RP keep their server, not your suggestion at the end of your rant. FFXIV is the ONLY MMO I have played that didn't have a dedicated RP server. IF Square finally makes one, Bal is the best one to do.

I'm completely in agreement. We all know the non-RPers mostly arrived on the server illegally without documentation. They then started taking jobs with less pay and much less effort... It just drives the economy down. As someone on another server I can still see where you are coming from. Let's make Balmung great again.

Most people won't leave Balmung because they're embedded there. Lots of their friends are there, their houses are there. RP'er or non-RP'er, it doesn't matter. Lots of Rp'ers have friends that don't RP and vice versa. Majority of the people who did leave do not have much to lose. Get over it.

I dunno, we left an fc house with 4 rank 50 airships behind, as well as friends and the like. But we dealt with it rather than spend half the day complaining on the forums while sitting in queue. The people of Balmung created the problem they face, by telling everyone "oh, just create a character and transfer it over 3 days later, thats how you bypass the character creation locks!"

If you want to keep your half day que, stay there. I know if I couldn't play when I wanted to, I'd hop to a lower pop server and let my friends know via discord Where I went and to join me. (yes, if you are truly "embedded" you'd have contact outside of the game).

I never was on Balmug. I never will be, unless it was the last server around. No Offense, Balmung.

Thank you for bringing this up. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people telling others how to get around the Balmung restrictions, yet they want to act like the players have no responsibility in this fiasco.
