It's almost like Balmung is a VIP club and you have to pay a fee to get in. Sure, people will do it, but why should they?
OP: If it helps, us EU peeps never got a say on what we'd like to be the unofficial server for our side of the water, even when the datacenters came in at a later time. Either we accept the bad ping (because it's 250+ for a lot of us now), or we fend for ourselves.
If they've been around since day one, and then only attempted to get into Balmung two years later after trying once, it seems like they didn't take advantage of the time they could have joined. I've met so many players over the years who woke up at ridiculous hours to nudge a character in after maintenance, or saved their money to afford the fee that would transfer your characters to Balmung before world transfer to the server closed indefinitely.Â
If so much of their experience with the game was weighing on joining Balmung, why didn't they perhaps start saving for the transfer fee from the day they couldn't join without transfering or waiting for an open door after maintenance? It has nothing to do with a VIP service - it's what many have had to do to play on there, and it's a little unfair to say that anyone who joined by transferring is just one of those spoiled VIPs when they took the time or paid real money to get the opportunity. Those who have paid for it don't like it anymore than you do, and they shouldn't have to, but that's what it has panned out to for several years. The thing is - that is the server they said they've been absolutely fixed on joining as a roleplayer, but they haven't seemed to put a lot of time into actually trying to join Balmung over the years.
