Free transfers off the data center are the only solution. There are 1.0 players who feel like they shouldn't have to move, especially if it costs money - it's not their fault their old server got invaded by RPers. There are individuals who don't want to move unless their entire FC movies.

Make a new server on Primal or re-designate the lowest population server existing as the official RP server. Offer free transfers off Balmung and Gilgamesh to select servers (Lamia is also high population and doesn't need anyone transferring over en masse.)
Actually, that woulden't work, and is opposite of what should happen.

RPers arn't the problem here. They're the most invested players Balmung has. I'm kinda miffed you spoke up like this, Catwho. The RPers aren't at fault for the 1.xx server merge. They've maintained the same server from the start of 1.xx, and honestly, hold the most housing on the server by a wide margin. It'd be better that Balmung itself be declaired the official RP server and free transfers and housing refunds be offered off the server for non-rpers, onto a fresh new server so they have equal chances for housing, rather than an underpopulated server with all the housing gobbeled up already.
