Balmung re-opened

[BillyKaplan]

Why would you want the world to be emptier? Or is it just a Quicksand thing?

I second this. I created an alt on Zalera, be it for transfer or a foothold if I got my alts on Balmung directly, and Ul'dah in its entirety was just barren. It was so jarring and unwelcoming.

Made a character on Balmung this morning around 9:30 EST and there were more people in the Quicksand alone than in all of Ul’dah on Zalera.

We have housing plots out the wazoo, at least. From what I saw, everything on Balmung is already spoken for (no surprise).

Yeah but most of the people on Balmung are AFK on Balmung :P

True, about half the folks in there were afk.

Piles of sprouts, though, even by preferred world standards,where seeing sprouts out in the world is very common compared to my tenure on Balmung, which could be summed up with “what’s a sprout?”

Balmung Sprouts = Alts that never completed the story to the point where the sprout was lost.
