Maybe that will change when xbox launces who knows. But do know 7.0 comes around DC and server travel may be suspended for the first few weeks so keep that in mind.
I originally started on Gilgamesh during the 2.0 beta and should probably have just stayed there but I do like the community on Balmung, haven't had any bad player experiences. Played on various RP servers in MMOs, even if I don't RP, and can also say the people I've met were nice to be around. If anyone I knew still played, I might stay, but with DC travel the only thing that really sets the servers apart now seems to be marketboard prices. I do wish they could have servers split between time zones but it's probably too late for that now.

So if you didn't RP it wasn't an ideal place to be anymore.
Yeah I found out recently just what Congested means now, the days of making alts at 4 AM to get into Balmung are long gone it seems. I spoke with some very helpful people on Seraph earlier and got most of my questions answered! They even convinced me to move there, until I realized the server is also Congested...just can't catch a break lol.
