Please, PLEASE lock Balmung's access to Wanderers and Travelers.

[Kranel_San]

I'm a long time player from Balmung and I can say that this server is in utter shambles due to being pretty being turned into a +18 tourist place.
But my main issue with it are:
1) The horrendous queue times, even at dead hours
2) Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa (and soon Gridania!) being congested due to the amount of people server hopping
3) Latency issues when so many players congregate in the main cities
Please do something about it, I know Square Enix has locked Firmament's access to Wanderers and Travelers, I'm sure you can lock a whole server as well.

Mayhap you're interested in server transfer?

I don't really see what makes one server so special that they deserve this treatment. Maybe it's because I have very little attachment to my server currently, but if this happened to Goblin, I'd just spend time on another server/DC.

Everyone knows Balmung is the "Goldshire" of FF14.

It is what it is.

You can always transfer out of that degeneracy cesspool.

Neither is bad outside of specific areas (or at least Moon Guard wasn't as of when I quit playing WoW, who knows now).

It's the whole "if it's RP it must be ERP" attitude that creates the problem.

I saw much worse in public channels on Siren when I was playing an alt there than I've ever seen on Balmung.

[Catwho]

I have lots of RP alts on Balmung. I learned the hard way early on to turn on the /busy tag any time I have to wander into Ul'dah. Doesn't matter what the character is, it will get hit on by a thirsty catboy.

Please...please lock Balmung visits. It was bad enough in Shadowbringers, but now... if our server is already congested then why bog it down more? If I didn't have a house on Balmung, I'd even move to a lower pop server...I had no idea what kind of reputation this place had when I joined, and now I'm stuck here...but half the time the server is too full of wanderers/travelers to get much done! All I could think when world visits were announced, was that I hoped against hope that Balmung would be locked against this since it's already so full.

[Ranaku]

Please please first tell your Balmung playerbase that emoting on each other in the streets isn't that normal and paying billboards to advertise ERP venues isn't that normal either. Or selling ERP in the streets. And so much more. Maybe then your server stops being a absolute freakshow that everyone wants to visit.

Asking for balmung to be locked??? Anyone remeber when Balming players were asking for it too be unlocked

[Renalt]

Honestly I enjoy it. Bring everyone over and check it out. I don't mind if I have to wait a bit longer. I'm a big fan of chaos and Balmung is reeking of it.
