Fuck you Square, I'm giving my money to Blizzard again. They are absolute unable to write a semi-engaging story, but at least they are able to assigne roleplay servers right from the beginning and don't take 18$ for a by now worthless servertransfer.
That's your choice, but I don't know if it's a helpful contribution to this particular thread. It's important to remember that it was never intended by Square Enix as a "ban for roleplayers" - in fact, the restrictions apply to 5 other servers, as well. It is - as far as I can discern - an emergency measure designed to ease the login queues and server stability problems that tend to surround a new expansion release, such as the upcoming Stormblood release.
Balmung's predicament is, essentially, a problem at least partially of the RP community's own making. And I think it's one we should - and can - work together to equally partially solve, by creating and/or encouraging the creation of a viable alternative for people who aren't on Balmung already. Going forward, if this alternative attains the value I think we should be hoping for from it, it will remain a valid option for new roleplayers, and a valid alternative for existing roleplayers - whatever their reasons for desiring one.
I understood discussing the nature of that alternative as the point of this thread.
I personally think that voting with my wallet is another good way to tackle the problem. If square doesn't wants my money from monthly subscription and server transfer, I simply give it to more RP friendly companies. If square has any grasp on the RP Community, they knew what they were doing and I think the best way to answer this would be to buy other protects or try out some MMOs we left behind before. I think the best roleplayers could do to support newer roleplayers is to not support squares product anymore and recommed other, RP friendly MMOs to them.
This is a valid opinion, but this is NOT the thread for such discussion. Please go to the server megathread to discuss the issue. This thread is for the merits and opinions on the alternative server communities only, not for debating the repercussions of the server lockdown.
