Petition to Lift Balmung Server Lock / Impact of Server Lock on FFXIV RP Community

[Edricane]

I will say, I wish it would open up. I have friends that would like to play the game, but aren't really willing to play on other severs without me. I've been on Balmung back when it was Besaid in 1.0, I've got to much invested here and moving servers really isn't an option. I can't say how the RP communities in other servers are, but at this point for me, it doesn't matter. Do I agree with everything that the OP is saying? Not necessarily, but some of it. Generally I'd just like it to open so I can spend my time with friends and not worry about having to leave servers, or make alts.

Hmm...that is a conundrum. Couldn't you make an alt on another server? Balmung probably won't open until sometime next year at a minimum.

I could, but that means I would have to split the time between servers. I've put a lot of work into my character over the years. I hate to whine, but making an alt is not fair to me, having to level it up just to get it on par with a main. That's also time I don't have. As for Cross server friends and Parties, that doesn't really help me when I want to RP in game with them.

Cross server friends and parties are a thing, with linkshells likely on the way.

I completely agree with this statement. But you know it's not enough for that "community" feel of standing around in a crowded zone while people do their best to mimic Barrens chat while RP happens in nearly exclusively tells
