What is with the sudden surge of RP on the server? o.o I swear there are so many simultaneous scenes ongoing at any one time in Ul'dah and Thanalan alone.
RE: Activity on Balmung? - BaneWarden - 10-30-2013
If I were to guess, probably a mix of people being able to transfer finally, and the fact that it's the unofficial RP server? Even people on my old server that don't follow this community knew about it. xD

This is a good thing isn't it? More RP is well, more RP.
My guess would be people hitting 50 and those who were stuck on other servers being able to transfer would have something to do with it.

Its a great thing. Its just, as active as the server was beforehand, it completely pales in comparison. I was very pleasantly surprised because I am ready to start focusing more on RP and less on the gaming side of things >w<

I think you are right (perhaps unintentionally) in mentioning the shift from gaming to RP, at least in 1.0 (and other games) the same pattern seems to occur, many RPers who also want to reach end-game, refocusing on RP when they hit the content plateau they feel comfortable with.
Which is awesome to see, though it makes me wonder how much it will fluctuate with new content being introduced. I know that I hardly had RP time when I was trying to progress with the Good King and the White Raven.

Just curious, but what are some of the hot spots that a new person can get into on Balmung? I'm guessing the three city-state capitals, but is there anywhere else?

Is a good thread to check out. To be honest, pretty much any where with tables and some seating. Fall Ground Float, Camp Drybone, of course results may vary depending on time of day, but outside of the main cities its usually tavern, or interesting landmarks.
Oh I would be negligent not to include taking a look at the

Though not always the most active it does serve for people who might be popping by with no prior engagements.
RE: Activity on Balmung? - Shae'ra - 10-30-2013
I will be honest and say that I have yet to go in search of RP since I would like to max my level first (and haven't had time to get online enough to be able to do that, yeah, I am one of those people that wants to make it to end game before I dive into RP) but every time in the afternoon and night (EST) I always find someone roleplaying at fallground floats within my quick moment of running through the city.
If you like fights, or just want to meet people, every Wednesday and Saturday there is a Grindstone Tourny (open to all, think more of a fight club but with a few safety rules) outside Nald Gate on the bridge just outside of Ul'dah. (Nald gate? I get Nald and Thal mixed up ..it's the one right across from the Adventurer's Guild in Ul'dah) There is usually a good 15-20+ people turnout.
One thing you could do as well is join the OOC RP chat Intermission and whenever you're in the mood to RP throw out a chat in the LS and ask if any roleplay is happening or if anyone wants to spark something up, never hurts to ask.
RE: Activity on Balmung? - BaneWarden - 10-30-2013
Thanks all for the advise!
How do I get a invite to the intermission channel?
RE: Activity on Balmung? - synaesthetic - 11-02-2013
If I had to guess as for a reason for the massive uptick in RP activity I would say:
- Transfers have opened up, so RPers who rolled on other servers because Balmung was full can now transfer here.
- RPers on Gilgamesh have gotten extremely tired of 4chan and reddit and have come here to escape the trollfest.
- The sharded RP faction on Behemoth came back to Balmung.
- Hardcore RPers have actually bothered to level a bit, so now they can travel more places instead of spending eight hours a day in the Limsa tavern.
