Data-Center Travel has got to GO.

from ym understanding Balmung was the "unofficial RP Server" back in 1.0 day. so it was away highly popped for that reason. and now that people can visit yes some want to see if the memes and all the "ERP" stuff is true. some my want to visit friends. personaly i'd like just to see how an RP server work you know. there is some rp on mine but not world wiled you know. so maybe if quiets down can pop voer see, but I'm not there to ruin your fun. and tot he "trolls" being A holes to the people of Balmung just stop.

Almost! The unofficial rp servers from 1.0 (Fabul and Besaid iirc) were rolled into Balmung come 2.0, so the old 1.0 roleplayers stayed there. It was a highpop server from it being a Legacy server as well, on top of the rp aspect. I was on one of the old 1.0 servers from my brief time in 1.0 so Balmung was where my legacy character was dropped. I also rp so it was perfect for me, but all the crap about my server is 100% overblown and has been since 2013. The "haha funny erp server" jokes were old in 2013, it's mummified and ancient now nearly a decade later.

Honestly, right after the servers opened after maint, I saw a lot if Balmungians with their glowsticks and happy emotes at the aetheryte plaza to welcome people. We don't mind the visitors as long as they are respectful. People coming over to see the non-club rp scene (they are wildly different entities) is fine, asking if you can sit in at an event to see how it works is also fine, but disrupting and harassment is what we don't want and are sick of and will result in a report. Yes, erp happens, but we're far from the only server it happens on, we're just hypertargeted because we're the oldest unofficial rp server.

Fun fact, Gilgamesh was the old sister rp server. Mateus was the overflow following Balmung being locked down shortly after Stormblood for having too many people on it and being big-c Congested, after a lot of discussion on where people could go if they couldn't get on Balmung.

I've always loved the fact that given that Balmung and Mateus are the big RP/ERP spots on Crystal, what happens when you slip a simple blank space into the names, and what words are formed when you do so. Because it's just so laughably fitting for what the servers have become.

You mean people in their underwear right?

Right?

Not from the perspective of a lot of people on Crystal, no.

Not from the perspective of a lot of people on Crystal, no.

I'd say that if they see it like that then they very likely wanted to see the naked bodies.

It’s good they managed to make service stable and all but disappointing home transfers still disabled. I just want to move my main characters to the new EU world.
