Balmung Locked? - drake2k - 06-28-2013 I heard a rumor that Balmung was going to be locked to new players after release for  up to 6 months.  Anyone heard anything about that?  This concerns me as most the people in my Free Company are new players and if we can't all play on the same server...then we would have to choose a new one. RE: Balmung Locked? - Aysun - 06-28-2013 Rumors are rumors. I personally have not heard anything like this. I just know that as of now it is listed as "Crowded" due to the Legacy transfer applications. RE: Balmung Locked? - allgivenover - 06-29-2013 Six months is a rather bold claim that suggests a great deal of future knowledge. I wouldn't worry about it too much. RE: Balmung Locked? - FreelanceWizard - 06-29-2013 The only things we know for certain at this point about Balmung are that:
I seriously doubt they're going to lock the Legacy servers away from new characters, since the small population of 1.x would mean those servers would essentially be dead.

Current status: - You can create new characters on Balmung and new players can join it. They actually just made it available starting this weekend testing phase. - The 6 month thing was mentioned in another way. S-E mentioned that people on "LEGACY" servers will most likely only be able to transfer to "NON-LEGACY" servers(aka the new ones) after a period of 6 months. This is to allow the new servers to be untouched by the legacy players until they are at the same level.. In short, new players can always join Balmung unless the server is full. RE: Balmung Locked? - drake2k - 06-29-2013 Well, thank you for your replies.  I feel much better now. I was getting a little nervous.  Our guild has grown so much and the game isn't even out yet and it would be rather devastating if we had to move. RE: Balmung Locked? - Alexandr Nocturne - 07-03-2013 Thanks as well. We had the same question. Thus far I am the only 1.0 player in our fledgling Free Company. We wanted to be where the RP is, but feared the server being locked out, causing mass confusion and player split. ...of course a dedicated RP server would be ideal... RE: Balmung Locked? - Asyria - 07-03-2013 Derp, I was gonna say something but then noticed it's been said already! Don't mind me. >.> RE: Balmung Locked? - Kyatai - 07-03-2013 Xenedra commented that during 1.0, Balamung WAS locked for a day or so before opening up again and letting more folks in. So... if it DOES become locked due to overpopulation, give it a day or so and see if it evens out. |
