Transfer Restrictions and Roleplayers

[T-Owl]

Is the community the strickt on Lore and more into stuff like adventures, playing as members of ingame factions and things that make the Lore of Final Fantasy 14 exciting type of community or is it the kind of community that stays in taverns and talks about this stuff instead of actually doing it?

I can't say as I haven't played with them yet, but they apparently live streamed an IC run of the Palace of the Dead, so something tells me probably a bit more of the former.

I don't really no. Locking Balmung for transfers seemed to be the same as FF13 back in the day, Squares way to tell me that they don't my money anymore, so I guess I will rather give it to Blizzard, who allow me to play wherever I want and offer me actual RP Servers. I think more people should try to give World of Warcraft or other MMOs a try.

Uhhm Blizzard actually has a longer track record of locking servers. None of this pay to bypass either. The fact is rping servers were the ghost servers all the other vanilla players went to annoy.
Rping ended up on a LEGACY server which created an ungodly population. Which in turn led to more random players I need to play on the biggest. Which led to oh my god i play on a ghost town I need to play on balmung.

There's no reason not to have a designated RP server at this point, and to offer free transfers.

Actually, nevermind, there is a reason: milking money off of transfers. I'd argue one of the main reasons the problem got this bad to begin with is because of the revenue from RPers transferring to Balmung.

What is with you Balmung RPers and being so entitled? There's a pretty healthy RP communnity on Mateus and no one reacts like this. (But please, don't come to Mateus we don't want you here)

Personally, after I thought about it, I think it would be the best alternative to split Balmung in two, with one of the new servers being a RP-Balmung Sucessor and the other one being Non RP and copy the houses people had for the RP-Balmung. This way, it would be a fair deal for everyone and the problem would be solved.

Would an official RP server have worked in the past or would people still have gone to Balmung. The community fixation that you can only RP on one server has been a thing for to long and SE have been slow to respond but people can't be surprised that they have done what there are planning to do.

What is with you Balmung RPers and being so entitled? There's a pretty healthy RP communnity on Mateus and no one reacts like this. (But please, don't come to Mateus we don't want you here)

Well, that's a lovely attitude with which to try and entice RP'ers to leave the comfy safe atmosphere of Balmung with...

As someone who runs the RPC on Mateus, while yes the Balmung RPers may be over-reacting a bit, this is by no way a means to behave or act.
Many of the folks on Mateus also come from Balmung, including myself and while I devote now nearly all my time in operating the Roleplay community ON Mateus, this is not going to help anyone taking such an attitude.

I have no problem with anyone from Balmung and really, you should have a bit more tact on how you say things to those who are having a difficult time right now with something that has been thrown at them.
