Most of us have this thread subscribed specifically so we can get an alert when the server is available and every time someone posts in here (this post included) it gives everyone waiting false hope.
This. I've learned! Also, from what I've seen, maintenance is the best time to get in. Transferring is also a good way to get in if you don't want to waste your game time. Trust me, I waited ten days, every morning, trying to get into Balmung before the maintenance finally swooped down. It's exhausting, not good for your health, and in the end it wasn't worth it because the server continued not to open in the mornings despite the waiting. Getting in, on the other hand, is very worth it. Balmung is a great server.
EDIT: I've made this thread if you're here to talk about Balmung restrictions, and not here to say that Balmung is open. I most definitely recommend posting there instead of here as not to defeat this thread's purpose!

Cross-posting to let people know when they can try to jam in:

* The completion time may be subject to change.
[Affected Service]
- FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn
Remember to try and have your appearance data already saved to speed the process up! As the maintenance window approaches people log out en mass, and once servers come back up is also a great time to try and slip in.
Good luck future Balmungians!
RE: Balmung is open! - JepMZ - 01-29-2015
Your chance getting in is highest NOW!!! If you haven't saved a character in the appearance data or this is your first time in ff14, go start making your character now!!! You have until 5 minutes before the maintenance which is 20 minutes from now
Once you are almost done creating your character, Balmung is obviously not available. Do not worry, keep pressing the refresh button. Do this for twenty minutes until you are in.Â
If this doesnt work, Balmung is open right when the maintenance is over 3 hours from now. I'm sure the gill spammers are doing the same.
Good luck, I look forward to leveling up with you!
RE: Balmung is open! - Ilwe'ran - 01-29-2015

RE: Balmung is open! - Kestrael - 01-29-2015

Damn, didn't want to have to wake up at 2 hours from now
But seems like I am going to have too... Q^Q I was able to see Balmung open at 1:03 but when I entered my name it was like "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" then closed my FFXIV XD
RE: Balmung is open! - Desu Nee - 01-29-2015
By literally the last minute I made it in. Seriously, the intro cutscene barely started and I was in. Ququki Quki is the silliest name I ever seen, but it's the official one for her now
RE: Balmung is open! - Enzo - 01-29-2015
Hoping the opening as soon as balmung starts will not be as small as I imagine it will be :/ I didn't expect this opening to be literally like a minute. :< A minute where I was still on the refresh while the option was available. Any advice for a person living on central standard time? Wake up at 2:45 or 2:30 or something? When should I be trying to get in and how long will the opening be? (From experience)
RE: Balmung is open! - Ligardian Dreamer - 01-29-2015
Ugh... I was able to get at least one character in before it closed... And I doubt it will be open for a few hours prior to the end of maintenance... I'm certainly not going to be staying up till around 5:00EST for them to reopen >.>
RE: Balmung is open! - JepMZ - 01-29-2015
Yay! i'm happy at least one person got in! I failed to get in too with another better suited character
It's true that sometimes maintenance is over an hour early. But it's not worth losing sleep, haha. Goodluck everyone!
RE: Balmung is open! - Kestrael - 01-29-2015
Open at 4:15am est!
RE: Balmung is open! - Canuklehead - 01-29-2015
It's open RIGHT NOW
Just put an alt on. Â However, there WAS a queue to start playing, so the openess might have changed in the 20 seconds it took to name
RE: Balmung is open! - Berrod Armstrong - 01-29-2015
Balmung is still open!
RE: Balmung is open! - Ashren Dotharl - 01-29-2015
Yay! Got my last two alts made!
