Forcefully move people out of Balmung (and other insanely congested worlds)

[Sarevok_Thordin]

No server comes remotely close to Balmung. It's double Gilgamesh which is the next highest. But this is Squares problem for allowing paid transfers for so long. But I'm willing to put up with queues for a few weeks until things calm down unless all the housing and stuff me and my friends have invested in is refunded in full. and a new spot is guaranteed right where we are now, which cant be done.

Paid transfers which bypassed the creation traffic check.

Still, they knew what they were getting into.

According to the June 2017 FFXIV Census, Balmung is just under 20,000 active people and Gilga is just over 15,000 actives, so no, Balmung is not double the size of Gilgamesh.

Leviathan is actually just on the cusp of being a congested world if you compare it to some of the JP servers that are considered congested so hope OP is okay potentially being forced off to another server in the future.

Guessing he wouldn't be though

Whelp OP, I have the perfect solution for you.

The census stats it does not include players not past 3.3 content, that's pretty high stacks to be an adult in FFXIV.

I mean, when I hear how close everyone is, seems like EVERYONE would want to move together. FCs, Friends, LSs buddies, but eh.

Do you know how hard it is to move entire FCs? Small ones sure! large ones...not so much. The incentive of moving an entire FC is not worth it. Balmung or not. Its a damn a headache. Especially if you have an FC house. Because you need to collect EVERYTHING thats in it.Then go and disassemble your air ships. And IDK...its hard enough having inventory space!So your inventory on top of an FC inventory... Not to mention all of your members would need to demolish their rooms, after collecting all their things. Thats a cluster and half.

And sure you can claim #balmungproblems. But It's for any large FC really or anyone thats had to move large subsets of people.

And then you also have deal with everyone bitching about now instead of having Balmung Refugees...they now have Balmung Deports....

I feel there is a some horrible joke in there were I am supposed to end this with #makebalmunggreatagian.
but i think that would confuse you all as a Balmung person making a Balmung joke! GASP!

That site isn't accurate. Lucky Bancho uses a much better criteria. Keep in mind, these are pre-Stormblood numbers. The fact Balmung had no queues and shot up to the numbers it did suggests a lot of people came back. Another census done just prior to the server closed showed Balmung had an increase of over 1,000 characters too.

I don't think anybody knows this. They haven't posted what they are going to do for FC moves yet.
