    How's Balmung?

    After deciding to create a tiny lalafel tank I found an open spot in Balmung and decided to take advantage of it. I took a nap after 5 mins and was getting a little more information on why this server is popular?

    EDIT: I'm half dead here from waking up, my original thread idea came out wrong...

    It's a legacy server, and it's also the unofficial RP server. I think that's about it though tbh, other than it having a high population already.

    I'm on Balmung. Never been on any other server. Balmung has a lot of RP going, population is high which is great b/c the world is full of adventurers doing FATES,lvling up, etc..

    In addition to being the server in the NA that's #4 for most t13 clears. So we have one of the most robust end games there is outside of Japan.
    We have a very active party finder. 29 parties at the time of this writing.
    From people who play here and on other servers I've been told our low to mid end items on the AH are more fleshed out that other servers. Can't confirm it myself but that's what I've been told.

    I just went to Balmung to be with friends. Not much for the RP but people sure are nice. Lot more roe's for sure. Yes I do see lots of people clearing content more than my old server. Oh and hunts have become popular again. As for bots. Oooo they are there I've reported dozens everyday. They just show up during the slow morning hours.

    I have honestly not see anything in Balmung that was half as dirty as Moon Guard. Maybe once but it was in an obscure area out in the middle of nowhere. Goldshire should just burn.... my goodness....

    Like others said. It's a "Legacy" server meaning it had an active player base since before 2.0 even came around. So when ARR launched it filled the server to over-capacity. Plus it being an un-official RP server helped attract even more players towards it.

    The world and cities are always fyll of people going about their day. You never feel lonely like you do on some other servers.
