    We are getting house moving feature. If that house moving feature is meant to be cross server. For SE issues and not so players can jump, but maybe in the future. The gil transfer seems to be an arbitrary number so SE could change that for a while.

    If SE made a new server and called it Quick Sand Erp Central ( I kid sort of). Designated it RPing only, or probably just RP identifier.

    Second allowed free transfer to Balmung onto the new empty rping server. With either house transfer or full refund on Balmung demolished houses.

    Third opened this server up to the rest of the servers for free rp transfer. But probably not house transfer. Because that probably happens more technical side.

    After a short period of time. Treat it like a normal server and hope that they balance out. The chance of the current Balmung rping to increase the amount of houses they have or where the houses they have might be to great to pass up.

    Definitely would like a designated role play server. Recently came to Balmung and was surprised at the amount of roleplay happening all the time. I have a few friends who were going to follow me to do stormblood content together. Sadly we did not know the maintenance would close Balmung so now I have to make the decision of being in a server enriched with roleplay (A great place where I can learn to be a part of such a community as I'm not really outgoing or experienced in that kind of thing) or play with my friends.

    I will have to give up roleplay opportunities for friends, even though they are all willing to transfer.

    I have to stay, I tried to remain motivated after the Server-Ban on Balmung and thought about playing on a different Server, but in the end, with Balmung arround the other Servers simply don't feel satisfying. As someone who wants to play RP in the first place and then do the other stuff, I simply see no point to invest more money and time into the game right now. So, with me Square Enix has reached their goal of lowering their population as in this moment I think I'm not going to renew my subscription or buy Stormblood the next month.

    I really hope the roleplay community doesn't decide to have a mass exodus out of balmung
    I love the atmosphere that all the open roleplay brings to the server, and I don't think I could convince my non-roleplayer friends to transfer even if there was a free transfer option.

    I'd like to reiterate that Balmung is full because it has two full servers' worth comprising of two broad demographics: RPers and non-RPers. I understand that demographics overlap heavily, but they are still meaningful in population. The easiest way to stabilise the population is to acknowledge the demographic and cater to one or the other, and the fact that RPers really only have a single specific condition makes facilitating the move of Balmung RPers the easiest and most beneficial way to stabilise server populations.

    In the wake of things like megaservers and cross-realm zoning, roleplay is one of the only activities in an MMO that majorly depends on players sharing the same in-game space. Things like PVE are easy enough to facilitate with cross-server tech, the Duty Finder, and the prevalence of software like Discord. Creating a new server specifically to facilitate that need for roleplayers to share the same in-game space would alleviate the biggest issue with splitting the RP community.

    Part of why the Balmung Housing Rush exists is because RPers and non-RPers are competing with one another. Remove that factor, and I'm willing to wager that the housing market and the serve as a whole would be a bit steadier.

    I really wish they implement an "official RP" server, i'm in europe, and the "unofficial offical RP" server is in America, it would lag.
    Besides, it's almost impossible to join without a transfer.

    Really? Really? The fact that each new character had to be made at 2am after a half dozen tries didn't tip you off that maybe the server was overcrowded?

    This has been a long time coming, Balmung and to a less extent Gilgamesh have needed something doing to stabilise there numbers since about Heavansward so this shouldn't be a surprise.

    It was already needed when I started playing the game in 2014. Probably before then but I can't comment on that.

    I don't think that's really fair when Balmung was completely open to transfers for the past four years since ARR was launched, making the character creation restriction seem arbitrary. If anything, it seemed that Square Enix prioritised revenue from transfers over population stability and now it's biting everyone involved.
