Will Balmung ever open again?

[NekoNova]

You realize people can transfer out of Balmung, right? Thus spreading it. And with world transfer coming soon, people won't be able to visit so long as we're still congested, but you can bet we'll be visiting outside of it...
Quarantine only works so long as not only do things not go in, but things also don't come out...

Let's be realistic here, you know that's never going to happen

You will be able to travel there soon with the world visiting thing they are adding.

Nah, you won't. They've said you won't be able to visit a congested world with it. Don't have the link to hand but it was mentioned like that.

Balmung is full o.o. Everytime i go outside the cities i barely find anyone lol. Maybe full of Alts in Uldah xD.

You did break a rule. We don't talk about Balmung.

Dear SE,

Please open and close it again quickly so the brothel doesn't spread out like a contagious virus.

First of all, if I break any rules, I'm sorry, this is my first post in the forums.

I'm a new user so I don't really know how the congested world thing works but, how long does it usually take for a server to get out of the "congested" status? I was very disappointed to learn that I can't play on Balmung, and I was wondering how long will it take until I'll be able to.

it really is the best server with the best people. However, with the world visit system just go there and stay as long as you like. that is what me and countless others are gonna do! going to balmung is like going to las vegas so much to see and do!

You must be talking of a different game cause you have the same things implemented by SE in balmung as you have in other servers, the server is like the same as the others the game has the same code lines the only difference is that you have men roleplaying female in the most absurd ways.

But yeah once you see them irl and compare to what they do in game you will cross eyes and move on.

LOL that made me laugh, thanks haha. I wish I could drop it but I honestly just want to RP with my only friend in FFXIV lol, but I guess I'll have to be patient.

You will be able to do with them soon without having to be on the same server. They’re adding world visitation.

[Theodric]

It's possible, though I don't see it happening anytime soon. The issue is that a lot of people on the server don't actually play the game much at all - they simply log in and stand around in Ul'dah day in, day out. There's literally hundreds of players AFK in cities for days on end until they're forced to log out due to maintenance and as such the server is considered to be 'full' as I believe character creation is tied to the amount of players online at the time.

Feel like you can walk into a room and if you want to scare them off just start screaming BALMUNG BALMUNG BALMUNG. The other servers don't know what's going on but leave you the space lol.

Also the server lock doesn't keep us in, as Billy said, it only keeps everyone else out.

We just had our monthly evil council meeting and we're going to each spread one bad question to the live letters and three alts to each server coming early May. Please look forward to it!

[laughs in evil]

On a side note I wish I could put my server title as Besaid, that's what I picked all those years ago! Balmung took over my country lol (server merge in 2012).

For OP though definitely have the server visitation system to look forward to, can come over to Balmung without having it be your home world. Just keep in mind you cant sell on another server, many of your FC features wont work on another server from it's home, and you can't own a house on another server (these things must be done on the home server).
