    A couple weeks in now and I definitely see more of the problem than I'd initially thought in my previous posts. I've struggled to get to Balmung for other events that I'm a part of or help run, or even just for regular RP. Even after peak hours, it can be tedious at best to try and world hop - I tried to go to Balmung at midnight EST the other day and it just wasn't possible. It's extremely frustrating.

    Balmung specifically is fighting Quicksands that literally has people camping the aetherytes on other worlds on Crystal spam clicking trying to visit. That specifice prime time is way past midnight probably because you're fighting degens and people that purposely afk there all day from every data center. Every Balmung has to find a way to relocate because they're going to stay congested even longer than other congested worlds even after the general population leaves the game.

    If only we didn't have a housing system that forced people to stay on the server they are on. Alas.

    Forcing players to do a certain thing like this is always going to be worse than understanding why people do what they do and trying to cater to it or work around it. SE has, for some reason, decided to take one of the worst options.
