Wow, thank you for the very prompt replies! This seems like a good place I'll do the character transfer to Balmung tonight. Hope to see some of you online in the future!

Hello! I've been playing FFXIV very casually off and on for several months now and I've just now discovered that the game has a vibrant RP community! I'm playing on Coeurl with a character that has little backstory so far but want to transfer her over to Balmung so I can start RP (and developing my character's story). I have a few questions: 1. It sounds like Balmung is a VERY busy and popular server. I see a lot of posts about people having difficulty creating a character on Balmung. I've read that doing the payed "server transfer" would allow me to swap worlds, hassle-free. I am very tempted by this, but, knowing little about MMOs and servers, does a popular server mean it can be hard to log in? On Coeurl I have zero problems logging in, and there are never any queues or wait lists. I log in instantly. Is this an issue an issue on Balmung? 2. I have a friend who's thinking of joining FFXIV in a few months. He said he'd play on the same server as me. But if I'm on Balmung I'm worried he'll have difficulty creating a character there. The prospect of "logging in at various hours" might turn him away from the game 3. Is this website exclusively for roleplaying on Balmung and Gilgamesh? I ask because maybe I'm better off just role playing on Coeurl... if there are any RPers on Coeurl???
