Guess I don't get to play tonight.

It's seriously messed up that I have to restart the whole game after each attempt because a lobby error trying to world visit closes the entire thing back to the desktop. This was a constant problem during launch.

That's what happens when you pick popular servers.

I remember when people would tell you to just move off Balmung if you didn't like it. So I did.

Basically this, play on the most populated server in the game and you get queues, especially if there are issues, this is not new

That would be Mateus, as of the most recent census. Although Balmung's population gets very close.

It's also extremely likely that queues like this would happen on most of the NA servers, after a server crash. Aside from Mateus and Balmung sitting at an active character count of 30.9k and 30.5k respectively, every server on the Crystal datacenter is sitting in the range of 26k characters. Coeurl being the lowest at 25k. Aether datacenter servers are sitting at around 24-24.5k characters, while Primal datacenter servers are sitting at around 24-25k characters (with Behemoth being a bit of an outlier at 22.8k).
There isn't really anywhere for OP to move to, to avoid a situation like this. At least not until the new NA servers get added.

If someone wants to pay for it I'd be happy to. I had no idea what this server was like when I started playing because it was the first available on the list for my data center.

You decided to stay on that world, it's been full for a very long time, if you want to have less queues, you are free to move.

Then pay for it or stfu.

Deal with it or pay. Queue won't take that long because people were all kicked off. You aren't waiting for people to log out.

Pay for it yourself.
You're the one with the problem. Deal with the queues or suck it up and pay to move/wait till new NA servers to go for free. Whining on here about it won't solve anything because it's literally just a Balmung problem and no one is gonna have sympathy for you with how you're replying to people.

Edit (since I actually decided to skim): good, you solved your own problem. Why was this thread necessary in the first place?

A better question is why did you feel the need to jump in just to give a hard time to someone unhappy with their server situation? That says way more about you.

I can throw that back at you with why do you feel the need to reply to people the way you were? You were already giving people a hard time when they were telling you the truth: move if you're not happy or deal with it. Ignorance is fine at first but I doubt youve been ignorant this whole time to the state of your server or the reputation it has. The only solution is to move. So, pay for it yourself or understand that you have to deal with this until free transfers are available. Complaining about Balmung and giving people an attitude isn't going to solve anything + Square isn't going to fix their systems simply for the sake of one server when all of the others are fine.

I'm simply throwing the vibe you're putting out back in your direction. Don't put out something if you cant handle/dont want it thrown back.

If that's your takeaway from this I feel sorry for you. I won't capitulate to bad takes just because people like yourself think "everything is fine".

Just saw your name. Have you met Pillow Police?
