Balmung appreciation thread

Yes, affect them negatively, bravo.

Well good or bad it still a feat to accomplish which is why Balmung is talked about so much. It like if there one person on a server that everyone knows, they might be the biggest Ahole around but everyone knows who they are whether it for good or reasons.

With that logic, you could say Hitler gets talked about a lot too, lol.

Yes that is an exaggeration

[seekified]

That is so big that it has the powerl to affect other servers.

By crashing them, you mean?

Pretty much as Raynar put it. There IS something for everyone on Balmung. There are many play styles and many misjudged and misguided conceptions about Balmung. And as previously stated as well yes we have our trolls, and our dbags, and oddly enough we claim them too...because they are part of the community.

Balmung is kind of like...like that one state/country you always hear about in the news. you cross your fingers and go. "please dont be us...please dont be us!! ah....crap its...us...." Because some people know nothing of Balmung, all though know is its a server with a huge red target on its back. You all have seen it. #blamebalmung.And instantly become subject of ridicule.

I have been on Balmung since it merged with the other server in 2.0. I can honestly say: RP or Not, Raid or Not, whatever your preference or orientation, what ever your play style, the Balmung community is pretty accepting. And while there are a bunch of #deletebalmung and #blamebalmung memes about...I wouldn't want to be on any other server. While everyone else is complaining and finding reasons to dislike Balmung...we are over here enjoying the game, and the vast community.

Nothing been merged in 2.0, Fabul and Besaid were merged together like 6 months before 1.0 ended.

I'm sorry...what is it about Balmung the rest of the datacenter worlds were supposed to be appreciative about?

We are the gods you fear.

Balmung isn't the only congested server, every datacentre has at least one or two servers that are considered to be overpopulated.

Primal doesn't. It's an NA datacenter, but the only congested NA worlds are Balmung and Gilgamesh, both of which are on Aether.

Balmung is a meme because of a small, but very visible, part of the RP community. It's like that post about leaving Kugane only for true weeaboos.

No. Balmung is a meme, because people love to hate what they don't understand.

Same goes for Moonguard on WoW. It's got a bad rep mostly due to Goldshire, but most of the people who hang out there don't even play on the server on their mains. But if you actually play with them, there are tons of awesome people there.

Another "perk" about this server is how easily offended some of their members are, a paradise for trolls.
