Hilarious. balmung is the most populated server, it has by far the most RMT, bots, and run sellers.

Well bots aside, the /tell spammers cant keep making new chars because the server is nearly always locked for character creation

Doesn't mean less RMT, just means they don't have to advertise as much
I have an alt on that server and I see bots EVERYWHERE.

How bout go to a server that isn't always locked and spread the population around?

Go to Brynhildr, thats where i'm heading soon.

And why do you think its almost always locked? a small portion of players trying to get with friends, smaller portion of RPers making alts, and a big ol' piece of RMT pie.

You're going to get bots on every NA server, but what a lot of player care more about is not get spammed by tells and friend request every minute.

Which creates a problem for legit players wanting to join.

OP; Please don't consider Balmung as the server is full to the brim and new people seem to transfer in all the time and it only makes the problem worse for those who are just starting out in the game and want to create their first character ever on Balmung.

Funny, because the complaints of tells and are usually on different servers.
It's rarely ever on the 24/7 locked ones. Balmung has been on near complete lockdown since the start and it's not because of bots.
The most we get is a tell and now and then, and I went months without any...I get about 3 max a day and I've been on this server
for a year. The main problem we would get is bots, but that's nothing in compared to people getting riddled with /tell's every 2 seconds.
If anything, I'd pick the lesser of two evils and take the bots as oppose to the other.

Oh I see, I didnt know we were talking specifically about /tells. The way you claim there is less RMT confused me I guess. But you are in denial if you think its locked because there are THAT many new players making characters there. If we are picking evils I choose /tells over knowing most of the server is willing to cheat, buy runs, and gil. Its why I chose to not play on balmung.

This is good advice considering you have little to no chance of getting a house if thats a goal, and far less chance of finding help from the general population with the pf chock full of run sellers.
