Please Close Balmung again.

[Kewitt]

The RMT spam happened to my hubby yesterday 1st time in like 3 years.

Ok don't but ya that is a thing happening on balmung again.

I'm rather glad that it is becoming a thing again. Along with that there have been plenty of new legitimate players to enter the server breathing life back into FCs and the server itself. Things had gotten so horrifically stale there for awhile that I wondered if it might not be better to start checking out other servers. Now it's far more like its old lively self again, and I've even noticed the MB moving quite a bit faster again on the lower end mats.

This. I'll gladly take a few RMT tells over going back to the months long drudgery with no new faces, staying only because I had too many friends to leave behind and a genuine enjoyment of the community we have on the server. Particularly on the roleplay side of things, which yes har har you can get the 'erpmung' jokes out now. Some of them might actually be funny. Besides unless they did something drastic to the servers or made it so they could handle more load, the biggest servers are bound to close eventually once more and eventually all the RMT bots will have been reported. Let us have a few more weeks to get some fresh blood onto the server before that happens however.

Welcome back to the world of regular servers, get used to it.

Balmung asking close up?

Is this real life?

IMPOSSIBRU!

RMT: Showing you that your server is finally stabilizing!

Whoulda thought that could ever be a somewhat good thing?

It was closed before?

I've heard stories about Balmung. Heard that there are bodily fluids everywhere, that people rut in the streets like pigs, etc etc...

That's not even a fraction of it. Still missing things like a brothel on every housing block, furries running rampant, and you don't even wanna know what they do to us lalas over there....

Honestly though, Balmung isn't too completely terrible. Just don't go to Ul'dah. Ever.

I still haven't seen any RMT spam since I transferred to Balmung towards the end of HW. We really need to stay open so we can get some new blood and help keep the markets lively.

So far I've blocked about 1 RMT shouter from Limsa daily (don't really linger in the other towns, so not sure how those are). I've not had any direct RMT /tells, and that's with me staying online/afk a good portion of the day. Not saying the RMT spam isn't there, just my personal findings.

I'm happy it's open - even at the cost of letting some RMT/bots in. The place feels so much more lively, and those who wanted to join friends/family, or maybe just give Balmung a try, can finally do so.

I'm sure it'll close up again soon though, so get your people over here now
