Not sure where to put this but the technical area seemed the best bet.

For three days(early morning PST from 1-8), I have stayed up wait for the server to open so I can transfer over from Gilgamesh. Every day the server has been closed and has not opened once(this was recently so I know it wasn't on a holiday and two days were on a weekday) where as last time, it only took me a day. Friends on that server have told me that there have been a LARGE amount of people Afking or just bots running around which has been making it impossible to get anywhere.

The hell do you want us to do? I know I am not the only one trying to get on Balmung but with players not bothering to log out and bots running around, there is no space for us to even try and create new characters(many of us don't want to spend the entire day waiting to find a spot).
