It's possible, but that's been something that was talked about/wanted for well over a year. It's entirely possible that they may listen, but expecting them to I think is where people's fallacy lies.
There should never, ever be an in-all plan. If anything, hope they listen, but plan for a secondary course of action in case they don't.
EDIT: And like Nodem just mentioned above, they'd make everyone transfer and I highly doubt they'd transfer housing over. So people would lose/stand to lose their stuff if they don't jump on it immediately.
If there was an official RP server released? I'd very most likely head there. Especially if Balmung remained locked. Mostly because unlike what we are trying to achieve here by shouting were to go, people will probably, highly likely, still be shattered all over the place and nothing will come of it.
I feel if they released a RP server, people would slowly start coming over there. With those tiny self proclaimed servers? Not so much.
Ultimately I also feel, while everyone is trying to make Balmung the boogieman, trying to throw the burden onto the roleplayers here, those small communities should step up. And some have! But they also should decide were to redirect people to. Because I feel it would be lot better to redirect people to one server instead of six.
But us Balmung people? We aren't on those small communities. How can we tell what's better? I only had experience with one EU one, and I didn't like it. People were friendly, but it wasn't what I wanted.
I agree. I don't think they are capable of handling anything delicately (especially if it's in corporate SE's hands), but a great deal of caution does need to be taken. If there were an official RP server, I'd prolly bail too assuming my partner was willing to do the same and the transfers were free.
But I also think if Balmung remains locked long enough and people roll alts/go to one of those alt servers (preferably the one with the biggest community), it has a chance to thrive. It'll still be split, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.Â
I say that because with a lot of people comes many personalities, and they tend to clash pretty often. I don't think a week has gone by on Balmung that didn't involve some major drama, and some people could stand to be separated tbh.
