Just make Balmung its own data center

[XLauncher]

1. Gilgamesh is still a part of Aether, so even if they did maroon Balmung, Aether would not lack for people.

2. The limiting reagent for DF pops is usually tank, and sometimes healer for alliance raids. Unless Balmung has an atypical ratio of jobs among its players and has a higher concentration of tanks to DPS compared to other worlds, it's not speeding up queues at all. Hell, given the fact that it's the RP hub, I wouldn't be surprised if it had an abnormally higher concentration of weeb SAMs which would mean it's actually detrimental to the queue, but that's just a pet theory.

I don't really support any motion to quarantine Balmung; it's unfeasible. But its existence in Aether is absolutely not doing the rest of us any favors at all.

Actually Balmung and RP servers in general in all MMOs have a higher tank/healer ratio to dps than any other servers. Most every RP FC you can find has an overabundance of tanks and heals.

Edit: And generally speaking? RP communities tend to be the ones against sudden influxes of things like 'weeb' Samurais as they don't fit the current theme of things naturally and easily.
