Question about Balmung.

[Kinazu]

Let's try it from a different point of view.

Shall we go back to the time when everything, and I mean everything(except Duty Finder) was bound by server? The good ol' days of ARR and early/mid Heavensward. Where the whole PF was for your server only.

It was great to be on an active server at that time. My old one, Moogle, had plenty of raiders, ex primal parties and glamour farm parties. However, I'm pretty sure that the servers with a lessser population didn't have that luxury. At least, not at that time. With the introduction of the cross-server Party Finder we suddenly had most of the groups available to us. No matter the server they were on. Which was great. But how will this effect you?

Simple! What's getting released soonish? The cross-server Linkshells and the cross-server FCs. Now, I know you said that that wouldn't cut it. And I, to some extend, agree. But it's a start, right? Well... No. It's an expension. Since they have announced the cross-server PF we knew we'd get cross-server Linkshells and FCs. But what comes after that?

My guess would be to be able to play on a server different from yours whilst you still stay on your server.* That seems to be the only logical step, doesn't it? Wouldn't that solve your issues? I'm sure it would. Well then, there you have it. An other option for you to take besides letting your friends transfer or starting alts somewhere together. You just got to have some patience.

Like others have said, Balmung won't open now, and probably not any time soon for that matter. It's best to have patience and wait it out.

As for interviews and the like, they all boil down to the same thing as well. You can keep asking for more sources, but you already have one at your disposal: Lodestone. If I recall correctly there's a list with all the congested/locked servers, that's the closest you'll get to 'This is how it is atm.'.

*Disclaimer: This has never been confirmed and is pure speculation on my part. Would still be nice though.

Why is this thread still a thing. SE doesn't have to give us any info on what is currently going on with the server right now in terms of how many players are on it. The last statement said it was full, so that's all the word we have and most likely will have until they reopen it. Until it's reopened, take it as there are still far too many players on Balmung, and really do not expect it to be open soon. There is nothing else to be said here. No matter how many times you ask or roll around on the ground crying for it, their terms and conditions state they can withhold any information like this.

Balmung is actually better off in this state right now, other servers are becoming far healthier and Aether as a whole is alot more stable. They do not want people knowing ahead of time of Balmung opening to prevent planned mass movement into the server as soon as the gate opens which will set all of that back.

While thats actually something I asked(thank you) that was made Pre-SB so with the increase of people coming for SB that post isn't accurate anymore. I was hoping for something after SB launched if such a thing exists (like in the past say 5months or so) info after SB basically. Still thank you for providing something I asked.

There is such a thing as google...

You're actually the most toxic person i've seen please just leave my post now. In a week or so another Balmung post will happen you can go ahead and bring your toxic behavior to that one as you've always have with every other Balmung post.

Wait, I'm toxic? Huh. Well, that's the first I've been accused of being toxic, if that was directed at me.

What you asked was if there was information on Balmung opening back up, not general updates on all server statuses which is posted on the Lodestone. We have answered many times within this thread, but apparently you forgot your own question. I was informing you yet again that the answer to the question in the OP was a hard no that you have continuously got angry and thrown toys out the pram about. You also went into a statement about how it's not working etc. and we've been talking about why it is etc.

Don't get so angry when you yourself is forgetting what your OP is about.

I know what my op was thank you very much. I asked you please leave its been answered.

Yes i've stated before now please leave the post has been answered.

Yet the answer you're accepting did not answer your OP question in any single way. It ain't healthy living in a world of only accepting 'answers' you like.

Wow...if what I've posted thus far is considered toxic, I'd hate to see what happens when you see the truly toxic people are hiding in endgame. And last I checked, I don't go around calling other posters morons. I have yet to engage in personal attacks - so if what I said makes me the most toxic person, what does that make you with your own personal attacks against others?


Back on subject, your questions have been answered, literally, multiple times, since your original post. Many of us have told you what the deal is. But every day, you come back and persist in arguing with other posters. There's only so many ways you can ask for the same thing over and over again in a different way. A quick search in google would've given you an easier response. Somebody gave you a link, and then you argued that "no, it's not good enough...I need something post-SB". All you had to do was google 'ffxiv Balmung locked'.

I asked you to please leave and the answer I accepted was what i requested in the OP. I don't need your advice on how to live my life ether. Can we be done with this now?
