Question about Balmung.

[Keridwyn]

Again I read and I just facepalm. If Balmung is an issue which crashes Aether which granted has no actual proof of doing that but is assumed improving it i.e upgrading it will make it more stable capable of holding more people and not "crashing aether"

Follow my logic. SE upgrades the server and improves it, making it hold more people. It promptly hits cap again. What's the next solution? There are not infinite space upgrades out there.

I've attempt to have a discussion I realize Balmung is full everyone does many have listed different ways on how to fix it what could work what not yet you list said reason and what do you get? These kinda replies. We want improvements not just Balmung but for every locked server. No person should be locked away from their friends period. No person should be forced to leave a server.

But they are because infinite space does not exist. Not even on the behemoth that is WoW. Servers over there get locked to. Heck, they get locked on every MMO that runs a server system. This is not unique.

Again I read and I just facepalm. If Balmung is an issue which crashes Aether which granted has no actual proof of doing that but is assumed improving it i.e upgrading it will make it more stable capable of holding more people and not "crashing aether" Thats literally an improvement for Aether. This solution isn't a solution at all it's not going to fix anything MORE needs to be done which is what people want. If you can't get into a server to play with friends and again its not just one person theirs tons others who have friends who are on Balmung. Forcing them to leave a server for one-two friends when they have 20+ isn't logically you people refuse to see that, as someone from another balmung post stated along the lines of"SE is right because they say so so theyre right" you blindly follow along what they say without any sort of thought.

The solution is working, if you and everyone you know quits that's proof it's working. The server will fall below capacity and it will open again. People will fill your spaces and SE will not even notice you going.
You speak of blindness but refuse to try and see it from a company or other player perspective.
Balmung DID crash Aether. this happened. a few times.
I did say it was a group. But still just one group. Why should one server get an upgrade, which will then be over populated AGAIN and cause the SAME problem? It's insanity.

SE is not right in any MORAL way but what they are doing is very understandable from a resource point of view, and the fact you think they actually care about your feelings means you are the deluded one. I've thought about this a lot, it seems you haven't thought beyond how this affects you personally.

We understand that can happen thats why we've listed other info as well however right now as it stands a regular upgrade is fine. Their is also different ways I.E
-Same w/invite a friend were Balmung players already on can invite 1 friend to be capable of transfering. That person can no longer invite someone and the invited cannot invite. This is implying SE has improved Balmung

-Merge some older less populated servers i.e the ones that give the bonus like Zalera Courel etc to one server/one population and the persons effected are given a chance to ether leave at a discounted or free price.

You aren't getting into Balmung. Get over it.

No amount of whining or feet stomping is going to change this fact. Stop disguising your selfish wants as a call for "change to make the game better".

Thats the issue the company doesn't care. They don't care if people cant play with their friends. SE needs to learn a thing or two from Blizzard.

If you're going to provide 0 reason to be apart of this post other than assuming things I ask you leave. You don't know me you dont know my feelings on the matter.

So, let’s suppose SE implemented this, and let’s suppose one of your friends got invited to Balmung. He liked it there and he tells you about it, but since he was invited, he cannot invite you, so you wouldn’t be able to play with him. Would you come here to whine in this case scenario?

Of course he would.

They did learn a thing fom Blizzard, locking overcrowded servers down

I see you completely missed the part of my post where I told you not to negatively impact other servers. Did you know that the lowest pop FFXIV server only has about 6.5k active people on it? Coeurl has over 12k. Zalera has over 11k. Balmung has over 22k. So you still want to call my server dead and tell me it needs merged? Because SE certainly thinks that 6.5k users justifies a server. And remember, that's just the active population. How big is Balmung in totality? How about they just split Balmung and be done with it, it's actually less disruptive than what you're proposing because suddenly there's more housing to go around and not less. Since, you know, housing is one of the reasons your friends won't come play with you.

And no, I don't actually support that. I don't support cutting the server in half for the same reasons I do not support server merges, period. The fact you just keep targeting my home server leads me to believe you'd rather just have me angry and arguing with you than actually trying to solve an issue.
