Yeah, I find it truly baffling that this game has no afk timer. The amount of people I see Away on a constant basis is ridiculous. What is the purpose of SE not implementing that?

Hey there and welcome! I'm pretty much in the same boat...new to FFXIV from WoW and planned on moving over to Balmung. Ah well. I'm on Mateus now too and hope to RP with you all soon!

Transferred from Faerie last night, joined the LS and Discord. I appreciate the warm welcome and look forward to interacting with you all! :thumbsup:

Well darn. So I just started playing FFXIV this past Saturday. Being a long-time RPer, my first priority was to search for an official (or unofficial) roleplaying server. I found out about Balmung and planned on doing a server transfer. Ordered the Encyclopaedia Eorzea and everything so I could beef up on lore. Unfortunately the 2-day maintenance kicked in before I could pull the trigger (apparently you have to wait 3 days before it allows you to transfer). So it came as a disappointing surprise this morning when I saw that they shut down the Balmung transfers. Makes me wish I had decided to join FFXIV a week earlier. Ah well...shoulda, coulda, woulda, right? As others have said in this thread, I do hope that a secondary RP "home" begins to develop. I'm currently on the Faerie server and have unfortunately only seen one roleplayer thus far. I'd assume that it's not worth transferring to a server such as Mateus or Jenova at this moment? Or is it? I'm gonna keep an eye on the transfer status for Balmung. But in the meantime, I'm hoping my interest in the game lasts. I usually don't stay too long with an MMO if I can't find a relatively active RP community. Oh...and aside from all the doom and gloom... Hello! Nice to meet you guys!
