Question about Balmung.

[SorrowsEnd]

Because players who have friends on that server should be forced to leave because SE doesn't want to do anything else? Players who want to be on that server get shafted and thats okay?

Actually wrong it is SE's fault for allowing the server to be as big as it is and to not do something other than hoping the community fixes it, and Nothing to do with priorities when 1 is smaller than multiple.

What exactly is it that you hope is going to happen? The only more extreme measure that SE could take is by literally ejecting random players to different servers, or splitting the server in half. That would bring a lot of backlash, so instead the server remains closed until enough people on it get fed up and transfer.

Nor should it be catered to just to appease the loudest (read whiniest) voices.

How dare SE the company not wanna fix an ongoing issue that people bring to the attention to them and get joke answers like this. Telling the community to fix it themselves or deal with it isn't doimg something its lazyness. Actually fixing the locked servers not just Balmung would actually be profitable.

Instead of venting your frustration at SE for taking the only reasonable measure, perhaps you should discuss these frustrations with your friend, as they have just as much a hand in whether or not you guys play on the same server. Stubbornness will not get you guys what you want.

SE is a muti- million dollar company with not just 1 mmo in its line of work. They can fix tons of issues if they put the money into it but they refuse and do the very less costly way of making the community deal with it and players don't wanna leave which they have the right to stay but in turn players cannot play with their friends in the overworld which is what angers most players. If this issue has been made with multiple posts, forums etc and the current way of doing it isn't working their needs to be a plan B.

Taking the less costly measure and stubbornness regarding unfair situations in past historic events prove that otherwise.

The current way of doing it IS working. Gilgamesh was locked and now it's not. Balmung just needs more time, and any amount of foot stomping that you or your friends or anyone else would do won't help it at all. Want to play with your friends? Get them to transfer servers or make alts on your server. That's it.

Or wait another year until Balmung loses enough people for it to open again.

They already took the low cost measure: they locked your world and provided incentives to move out.

Balmung is not the jewel of the NA datacenter that SE is going to take extra special care with. SE is not going to shell out extra money for it. At this point, the only reasonable request you could make to them is to provide an alternative for the housing that seems to bind a lot of players to Balmung. Other than that, tough luck.

Okay it worked for a server that wasn't as big but a server as big as Balmung currently is NOT WORKING.
