Question about Balmung.

[Bahati]

I don't understand why everyone is being bitter with OP over this topic. It's a shame to not be able to join established friends and have to make due with them making pity alts just to play together. As a Balmung native I pray people like OP get a chance to come in eventually, not only because not being able to play an MMO with your social group is lame but becuase being a closed server is not without it's consequences.

If they were truly such great friends then they would move to a server with less bloat in order to play together. I did as much myself - leaving Balmung for Cerberus in the process.

I dont really care about the server overload or anything like that I just want to play with my friends lol

Because despite constantly giving him legit reasons on why the server won't be opened anytime soon, and answering his question countless times, he still acted like a selfish person who refused anything other than what would be of benefit to him.

As a Fabul turned Balmung native; I really, really don't.

Edit: I meant that for people like OP, I hope mature people get the chance though eventually, after the server is definitely sorted.

I don't necessarily think that's fair though, as in my case the reason I didn't leave Balmung to play with the two people who joined after the lock was because I had also made amazing friends /here/ in the dozens. Leaving a server full of people I've come to care for just to accommodate one person and asking them all to do the same just didn't make sense to me, especially when I could just make an alt and play with them that way.

That said, people aren't mad at this person for wanting to be on Balmung. They're annoyed with how he responded to explanations on why that isn't currently feasible.

You took a quote that was in a joking context and actually consider that a serious response? And again the responses most people gave would work if a company was small SE isnt small they have funds and manpower.

And you must be joking again to think that the entire company works on XIV and that XIV can take what it wants from the entire funding. XIV's team is small and it only gets a % of the funding because SE's other teams have to work on many other projects.

It's these kind of responses that make people believe you are pre-teen, because you can't grasp even the basics of how companies work.

Edit: Also the context of that post, and what your posts were afterwards, suggest it wasn't a joke.

I understand that they don't only work on XIV but again they're a multi-million dollar company correct? They make millions alone from their mobile games. Why not use some of those funds to work on their on going mmo improve on what needs to be improve? Is that such a hard concept to ask? Putting more effort and mmo on a successful mmo?
You can also suggest all you'd like im literally telling you what i meant by it.

Because of the number of other game and non-game projects. Again, the XIV team is small and they have a budget for the game. Subs and Mogstation put more money into XIV's piggybank, but even then, a large % of that goes directly into SE and towards the other projects again. They can't just switch people around, and take funding from one project into another, that is not how it works.

Why are we still attacking the OP when the OP was satisfied and calmed down a few pages ago? At this point people are just bored and adding more fuel to a fire that had been on the verge of being extinguished.

They're small thats understandable but it's an mmo that has WoW as its competition with what they've had for a budget they've been able to some what keep up. If they had an increased budget to improve things like servers which is one big issue the game faces subs would imorove. Nobodys asking for the same amount as WoW but just more than whats given to make it a better more stable game.Lets be honest here we don't need those FFXV mobile ads that dont even show the actual gameplay of the game why not use some of that marketing budget on XIV to help the game as an example
