Petition to Keep Balmung Server Locked

[Magic-Mal]

Let's push it to 100!

[Kazrah]

I'll sign it.

I'd also like an addition that would change the server's name to "Barrens Chat".

[Dark_Uss]

no! keep it locked

[Skivvy]

Leave it locked forever.

And...

Why not split up the favorite RP destinations like for example, Central Thanalan into 10,000 instances each and don't let them select which instance to move to, make it random, so they will spend hours trying to get a large group of self-entitled Role-Players together each day.

So spiteful towards a group of people you don't even know. Who hurt you?

Probably Balmung when they melt the login servers. Since the rest of the Data Center has to share.

For me, I'd say personally keep it locked, for the following reasons:
1) As far as I know, Balmung still has the most sizeable population. I think I read somewhere it has 2x the active population of the 2nd most active server (which I think is Leviathan now)
2) Given Balmung has always been seen as the RP hub, once you re-open it, you've essentially opened the floodgates and will most likely get a hyper-influx of new and returning players into the server, causing it to burst open at the seams again. Now, once extra RP hubs have taken hold and gained a similar size to Balmung's RP community, then we can look into re-opening it, as Balmung will be seen as only one of the servers to be on for RP, not the only server. Omega is doing a good job of becoming the EU RP hub for example (so much so that transfers to it have locked down completely, and it's no longer a new realm).

Except they're on Louisoix, which is a completely different datacentre to Balmung. :P

10k huh? That's a lot lol.

Want a lot? Try 500 octodecillion to the power of 500 octodecillion instances. Try working that number out!

lol, perhaps. But the server has a lot of natives and 1.0 transplants too...have some pity ._.

lol, perhaps. But the server has a lot of natives and 1.0 transplants...take pity ._.

Yep see quite a few legacies with their FFXI server surname. It is kind of rough for them that it became this monster. They weren't the ones recruiting people to come to the server.

It is a shame though that server gets a bad name because of poorly designed lobby system. But it is what it is.

Balmung's reputation is forever engraved into this community. That will never change. It will always be hated. As long as Balmung stays Balmung. And even if it isn't the Balmung server, players who transfered to the new server will be blamed for whatever issues it goes through(Mateus)

Idk about hated. Seems too strong. I would say annoyed.
