Will Balmung ever open again?

Thank you all I will try waiting for after the data center update, and try to move my main there. Hope it will actually happen. Is there a way to get updated on congested worlds easily?

Mostly just wait for SE to update the list on the Lodestone. They keep the numbers really secret and most population websites tend to use achievements which can skew the numbers. One website I know looks for something you don't get till you're 70 which so badly skews the numbers that it makes Balmung look like one of the least populated servers. One thing to remember is that SE doesn't count accounts as population. They count individual characters. I...really don't know why, no other mmo does this after all...

The Lodestone usually updates. Here's the link to today's "Regarding Character Creation Restrictions and Statuses of Congested/Preferred Worlds" update.

I'm on Malboro, so maybe we'll see each other around when all the data center changes go into effect! Best wishes!
