Please Unlock Balmung

[prime456]

I've tried a post asking for this. For all of you trolls telling us balmung doesn't need to be unlocked. Seriously cut the trolling out. People leave balmung all the time. Another thing we aren't telling you off server people what your server needs. So quit telling us what our server doesn't need! It's stale on balmung. Another thing alot of people have left and are literally bored to pieces because the servers they go to are boring them. So they don't pay their subs. Oh yes that is what SE wants more inactive accounts.

Yes. Everyone who doesn't agree with your thoughts on the issue is a troll.


It doesn't block the fact that Balmung is still the most populated server, and it's still cluttered. People saying 'there's no one new to meet' honestly sound like they haven't tried. Or if they did, they didn't try very hard. It's a HUGELY POPULATED SERVER. It's impossible to know who everyone is on a big server, what with some people not being one to talk to people much outside of their group, or people who are usually busy (As I know many omnicrafters can be).

People asking for special benefits just to leave Balmung. Just Balmung. People asking for it to be treated as a special case. Maybe if the server gets too bloody boring, enough people will leave the server for it to ACTUALLY open up.

I'm sure thats still preferable to them over constant trouble with server crashes etc. caused by overpopulated servers.
As they've proven with Gilgamesh: As soon as Balmung is stable enough, they'll re-open it. You're crying wont help - transfering off the server will.

Why dont people understand the "full is full"-thing? Why do you believe you're oh so above that? Why dont you understand that this lock isnt in place to harm you but to prevent (further) harm from their servers? (And no, they dont need to upgrade those only to allow for one overpopulated server to run smoothly when there are other servers with lots of capacity left.)

Balmung will re-open once its reached a healthy population - and then you guys can pray that it stays that way or it will get locked within the blink of an eye again.

Funny we are so overpopulated. But the census says different.

[DevilsDontFly]

Gilgamesh and Balmung are no longer "alike servers". Stop comparing the two because the actual numbers say something different than your personal experience.

Census is not 100% correct, but you got 20k+ active players monthly on Balmung. In SE eyes and apparently for the servers that is too high..

Funny how you are projecting your own assumption on what the server tech can reliably handle.

And even so, would you really unlock a server just for being, lets say 1k bellow ideal max player population. Or would you do it on 10k?
I for one would do the latter, as it gives a wider window for the server to actually stay open, especially a server like Balmung because you can NOT tell me that the moment Balmung unlocks there wont be a massive dogpile of players trying to get in, which in turn will rapidly fill the server back to capacity again.

If the "stale" community is boring you, either accept the hand you were dealt when you picked what is the most well known English server, or grow a spine and transfer off. Whining for a server unlock, or "better incentives" to transfer off just seems like either A) willfull ignorance of what's gonna happen if Balmung is unlocked too soon, or B) trying to abuse the situation for free stuff, which atleast in my eyes makes you a scumbag.

No server is locked because SE "wants" it to be. They lock because they need to or there's a very potent risk of overloading the server hardware, and in a worst case, the entire datacenter

Begging to SE for a early unlock wont change that fact

Which census? The unofficial one using estimated numbers?

As Gilgamesh proved when the numbers are low enough you'll get your unlock.

[Minerva-Redwater]

If you feel the need to gain new community then leave the server, The server isn't going to unlock anytime soon unless square says otherwise. If theyre doing the same thing they did with ff11 then expect it to be locked for a few years lol

created chars does not equal active chars. balmung has some of the lowest on created chars, because char creation has been locked for so long.
