Picking another server for RP is essentially already what you're suggesting, without forcing it on people. They're giving people a choice to move or to stay. New players have to pick somewhere else, while people who have had characters here can stay here. -Forcing- people to move is even worse.
Pretty much this. Forcing people to move never ends well and will cause more problems. People that are tired of the restrictions will inevitably give up and bail, as will others that just want a server to play on that doesn't have the awful pricing of Balmung. And no, having low marketboard prices is not a good thing. It's one of the side effects of how godawfully overcrowded this server has become because SE wasn't intelligent enough to block server transfers ages ago.
Honestly, they've been far too good to Balmung players and should have done something about it long before now.
I'm not sure what point you're making. If you dislike Balmung why are you on it? Have you considered that SE doesn't have to be the one to step in and incentivize departure - that if some people on the server are genuinely unhappy and would go ahead and transfer off, maybe that alone would resolve the apparent population issue?
Have you considered the idea that maybe SE doesn't owe you anything? Speaking of people not reading past the first sentence, it looks like you didn't read past mine. As I mentioned, people that are tired of the restriction will inevitably leave. That will help. People that want to be special snowflaked and complain about quitting? Quit. That'll help solve the issue, too. No one cares and all it's really doing is helping the rest of us, so I appreciate that.
As for the split in general? It's a horrible idea. There's no point in doing a split, no point in forcing people off of servers. If you ask them to make two new servers, or even one new server, that's way more OH than just closing one off until people bail (and again, they don't owe you or me or anyone anything). Â If you force people to be moved to one server then you have to consider people with: housing already in the plots where people are being moved, how it's going to effect the economy of those servers, character names being used, FC names being used, FC houses already in place where others are, etc etc.
In short, it's a mess, and that's not even talking about the technical aspects of it.
