Dear SE, please unlock Balmung

[Blackweaver]

Just as the title says, please unlock Balmung, if for no one else, than people that already have characters on the server. I got a fantastic RP alt idea I want to do, but I can't make this character:



Why? Because Balmung is locked down 24 hours a day 7 days a a week. I tried at 11pm, 12am, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am, and it never opens. If you feel the server shouldn't have new players, then that's fine, keep the restriction, but don't put that restriction on players who are already on the server. Let us make our alts!

It's probably because of peoples alts the reason why Balmung is on 24/7 lockdown to begin with...
I couldn't get into Balmung for a month until I just up and transferred my character there, if you're really pressing for an alt...
Cough up $18 to move her there.
Not fair for new people who have friends in this server who want to be here because people who are already here constantly make new characters.
This is if it's the case, otherwise yea.

People already on Balmung can't create new characters when the server is locked either, and for that matter server locks are caused by the amount of people logging into the server not the amount of characters on it.

What sense does it make for people to transfer no problem then?
The whole lock out makes no sense then. I transferred during lock-out.
You either wait for a lull right before 3.0 or cough up the dough.

You would have to ask SE, all I can say is I'm just as locked out as everyone else at the moment.

This thread again?

It's occasionally unlocked between 4-6am on weekdays. Try then. Dunno what else to tell you.

What the heck, you already have 6(!!) characters on this server, and want to create ANOTHER one? And you're complaining about how the server is locked 24/7??

This.
I keep seeing these types of threads, and it's only for this one freakin' server.
There are other servers! Go try them out! make new friends! Balmung is overpopulated for chrissakes! That's why it's almost permalocked!

I have an idea so crazy that it might actually work. Hear me out for a moment.

Why don't all the people who want to get alts on Balmung talk to other people who want to make alts on Balmung and agree to a server that isn't Balmung?

Because that happened with the "other" rp server, Gilgamesh. (I think it was Gilgamesh)
rp there died a death a few months after a little less than half of the people from Balmung moved there, p. much.

Sounds like people need to make a choice then. How often is Gilgamesh open?
