Character Transfer - Waku - 01-30-2015
I've been playing on Zalera for about a month, and the RP is pretty dry there. Well, more like non-existent, and since this is a roleplaying game, I think it'd be nice to do some of it. I was wondering, is the world transfer is worth it? It's a little pricey, but I'm willing to do it if it'll make the experience better.

I can't speak for other servers, but Balmung is pretty full of roleplayers. We've got all stripes of it, and enough folks spread out across NA and EU times that I feel confident saying there's bound to be something for you here.

Hey, a fellow Zaleran.
I actually managed to sneak a whole new character onto Balmung in the form of Chachan, and I've often found myself kinda rushing through my "main"'s daily routines so I can get over to Chachan faster.
I definitely have more fun there, after getting over that initial nervousness and finding folks to RP with. You get all the same stuff you would on Zalera (since it's not super end-game pushing like Excalibur and such), but you also get to find people talking and emoting around the major cities and sometimes even out at the lesser towns.
It definitely makes the game seem more organic and alive. And it's certainly fun to send my dorky little Lala out to see what his friends are doing.
Whether it's worth the price of transfer? Well, I'm tempted to do it with my main come the expansion, so I'd personally say yes. Alternately, I would also recommend - if possible (especially considering the population issues right now) - to try sneaking a low level alt onto the server first. Hang out at the Quicksand, feel around, see if it's something you might be interested in.
That way, if it doesn't tickle your fancy like you wanted, you'll have saved a few bucks.

Ah, thanks for the input. I can sadly never sneak into Gilga/Balmung since they're closed off all the time, but if I ever get in and enjoy it a lot better, I'll definitely transfer.Â

If you're interested in RP, I'd say it's definitely worth it! I don't know how much RP there is on Zalera, but there's no shortage of it on Balmung and Balmung is all around a very friendly community.
