The afker mostly affect people with bad pcs/ps3s. They tend to migrate to certain areas for afkness. The op is crazy though. If the servers can not handle the players on the game it is SE fault. Even if the players are or aren't doing something They set the amount of players a server can handle and be stable. I do think in the future it would be better if they had a couple places for tomestone gear. People with older pcs and touchy internet have problems getting in and out of the zone.

To the Balmung thing. Balmung can have a que at any time of the day. But it is a lie. Just unque and try again and it is instant. Balmung has had open character creation during the work day. Yes Balmung can probably have 100 people afk in Idylshire, but the server has had less players on since a couple patches ago. It is not a patch lul it has been slowing down for awhile.
