And Balmung wouldn't have become so congested if Square Enix didn't happily pocket $18 per transfer for the better part of four years. It also wouldn't have happened if they designated official Roleplayer servers (not the plural) like WoW did. When SE finally did wise up and realize their mistake, people had long formed connections that weren't willing to lose, especially when it meant giving up a house they likely wouldn't get again or losing their FC. Putting fault on Balmung conveniently ignores SE did literally nothing to prevent it until the situation reached critical mass.
