Balmung re-opened

[Kurando]

Busy. It is still considered a standard world as of the last character creation update: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...06d0909189e479

So if you're aiming to make an alt you're going to have to get on at a super odd time. Like...5 AM EST or something like that.

I thought that if the world was marked with a X that it is now a congested world. I say that because straight after the maintenance was finished and SE updated the status of worlds, every single one had the same O symbol to say they were standard or preferred worlds. Is it confirmed that players can actually make new alts or transfer to Balmung at the moment?
