An open letter from a Balmung player

[Rita1989]

Balmung offers something no other server does, and that's a really large vocal community. It's different than any other server.

It's really no different from any other server I have characters on multiple servers and it's basically the same.

I disagree that everyone will flock to Balmung when there is little incentive to unless it's to specifically play with someone you know on the server or rp but Mateus can fill that role now and it costs nothing to create a character.

The big reason people wanted to play on a bigger servers were mainly to have an active PF because some servers it was completely dead like Zalera and if you wanted to raid it was almost impossible.

With the cross server PF those issues are gone now.

You'd think that but players won't. Players would flock to Balmung because it's Balmung. That's how it got so big in the first place.

"What's the most populated server?"
"Balmung"
"Cool thanks!"

People clump up wherever there are other people. That's why Rhalgr's Reach and Limsa are always laggy. That's why Idllyshire was laggy. That's why Balmung has 25,000+ people.

People herd. It's that simple honestly lol.
