I am also a part of the "old guard" that came from Besaid. I made friends there, they came to Balmung when the servers merged, and I continue to stay there because my friends are still there.
Go, rally the troops to create a new RP server. You have my support 100%. But don't be angry at us for not wanting to abandon our homes. If you really want people to move, encourage SE to name an RP server and give us the opportunity to move as a group and keep all of the things we worked hard to earn on Balmung. If that doesn't happen, I hate to say it, but chances of us moving are slim.
