Data-Center Travel has got to GO.

[Krotoan]

If it continues, SE will have to think about specifying worlds as RP worlds and introducing some sort of protections.

Or maybe they'll do nothing, who knows?

Maybe something about blacklists making people invisible to you or reducing the amount of PC's around you that your client will render?

So many cold replies. A lot of people are acting like everyone in Balmung is responsible for the billboard scandal or that everyone in Balmung is an outright degenerate... Sure it's ironic, but it's also expected. People on this game can't seem to relax. The moment they think they're in the right they decide to go terrorizing whoever they feel is in the wrong.

Anyways, I hope a GM steps in and helps out soon. No need to remove the feature though.

You know I don't think Balmung reputation came out of nowhere. Can't say if it's reputation as the (E)RP center of NA DCs is well deserved or not but it's there. Not everyone in Balmung is responsible for it yes but the billboard "campaign" was made by an ERP FC operating there and not "travelers". Hell even the blockade is the playful take on this since the guards are all cargirls using chest revealing Uraeus Coat as their uniforms. It is what it is. Give it week or two and tourist enthusiasm will fade. Yes Balmung won't be miraculously purged off ERP or any other form of RP but that's just how things are

It should stabilize after a while. Just a lot of players wanting to try out the new feature and if people are harassing report them as usual.

So just as expected: DC travel goes in and Balmung has been FLOODED by naked people trolling roleplayers non-stop. They are having literal TROLL Parades with naked people, multi-boxing naked people so that there's 50+ naked people at the main aetheryte in Ul'dah.

This was an ABSOLUTE mistake. Please remove DC travel. It was a mistake, we said it was a mistake, and it is already proving to be a HUGE mistake.

If I can't RP anymore because of trolls SE is doing nothing about from other Data-Centers, I'm going just quit playing: And I'm not the only one. This is ridiculous. Please start banning these people at the very least. Just have a GM sit on Balmung for a while and you can ban a solid 90+ accounts a day I'm sure. This is crazy that they're allowed to just come over here, troll all of the roleplayers, grief us, and nothing is done about it.

What a horrible 'feature' to add.

With hundreds of "roleplayers" on the streets of ul'dah selling erp fo gil...idk if Balmungs standard for quality can be lowered even if millions of trolls breach the gates. Everyone besides you is probably really happy right now, cause they get more customers i guess. <shrugs>

So yeah kinda useless to try to protect something that never existed in the first place. xD

[localareanetwork]

literally just go somewhere else lmao

[Payadopa]

Who cares. Give it a week or two.

[LaylaTsarra]

You don't have to go to Ul dah where most of this is taking place. I have a number of characters there and only went to the city for the first time yesterday. It's fun and entertaining and I've been in Balmung for years.

[Lustre]

Foster such a reputation and this happens. Who would've thought it.

[Wanzzo]

Balmung was once a RP capital for all NA servers.

Now, it's still a capital but for a slighly different type of RP (chuckles)

Resembles A LOT our brazilian carnival nowadays




A solution for "true RPers" around is to move to another server and there make their on stuff. RP is not a Balmung exclusive thing. We can see RPers in a lot of servers.
Maybe the best way is to leave Balmung to be this eternal carnival and do RP somewhere else?

[Tanis_Ebonhart]

I mean, eventually they'll get banned or suspended if they keep it up.

But I guess some safety measures on travel should be considered.
