Transfer Restrictions and Roleplayers

[PArcher]

Ultimately, this is now on the RPers to figure out what they are going to do.

Sitting around and not planning, not finding a new server to build a community on, will only hurt you. Balmung will remain locked for months, maybe even years. Your community will not grow, you can't make new alts nor risk deleting old ones. Things will stagnate, and the community will start to slowly die, while the PvE community will continue to do what they always do.

Start planning now, or you'll just tear your community apart and deal yourself irreparable damage. There is no official RP server, and if SE makes one, it will be a brand-new server you need to make new characters or transfer to.

Start planning a solution for your problem, and put in the work to make it succeed.

RP in this game is purely fan-made right now, so your solution will have to be as well.

People already ahead of you here.

EDIT: Oh, how I don't miss you at all 1k character limit. How I don't miss you at all.

EDIT 2: Whoops. Forgot EU's doing something for a different server suggestion too.

Thanks for sharing. Glad some people are taking initiative.

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)

LOL, what a standout response. I feel bad for all the reasonable people on Mateus now. Hope you guys get an influx of roleplayers from Balmung.

I still think this is the ideal solution, as long as the transfers are free and no assets are lost.

If it takes years and no one has RP communities on other servers then the RP communities themselves are at fault for this, not SE.

Uhm? Are you truly trying to blame the people who want to join the big hub and not the ghost towns. You're on Balmung for a reason as well, so stop pointing fingers. By your logic you'd be part of the problem as well, being on Balmung. So just stop.

My only gripe at the moment is that SE has seen fit to already shut down transfers to High Population Servers, but NOT open up the free transfers OFF of them until June 20th.

So just help start a new role playing community on another server...?

Pretty much this. Why do every NA player HAVE to go to Balmung? There may not be an official tag for RP server, but you can just make a server reputed for its RP by gathering people on it for this specific purpose. There's plenty of empty server waiting for inhabitants, why do you think they had to instore those restrictions? People complaining about queue to connect make me laught so hard when they chose the biggest server among all the other empty server.

I invite you to look at my explanation on page 6. Link to Post. Or alternatively on page 7. Link to post.

I hope that clears up the misunderstanding and convince you there is no such thing as 'just going on another server'. Tl:dr we need big communities to thrive, else we will die out.

Thank you for your well reasoned posts. Every prior attempt to create an alternative RP server has resulted in little more than a small 20-50 clique of players. This is because most RPers (like the person above) correctly realize that RPers require a vibrant, active community that can accommodate a diverse range of interests, RP styles, and content. Future attempts to create an alternative RP servers that amounts to something more than a small clique will likely fail as they have countless times before due to conflicting personal interests, disorganization, and a variety of other factors.

The server transfer restriction should be terminated immediately, or SE should at least disclose the specific date when it will be lifted.
