Man, it's so frustrating that no matter where I ask, nobody knows for sure. Also, I'm talking about personal houses, not free company houses.

Can I please get a confirmation from someone as to whether or not your home disappears after so long of you being offline? I hear some people tell me that it disappears after 35 days, but some people tell me it never disappears. Can someone please tell me for sure which it is?

My bf wants to make a Free Company here like he did on Gilgamesh, so I'll be joining that one when it's made. However, Lilia, what do you mean by looking on someone's search info? Where do I find that?

That sounds good! I'm checking out Balmung now, and I'm in that Hugs & Cake linkshell, and everyone seems very friendly. When are those tavern night and Jancis' Celebration events, and where do they take place?

Oh, absolutely. If I find someone else roleplaying in a group or signify that they are a roleplayer, I'll absolutely walk up and say hi to them. And sometimes, I'll just roleplay my character doing what they do around a city, and see if anyone is willing to walk up to me. I just need to know that there are roleplayers around for this to work with, and it seems, from what I'm told, that there are plenty around. [Edit:] Hey! Can anyone toss me an invite to that Hugs & Cake Linkshell? I'm currently online as Emi Narluna!

Can I have some good Linkshells on Balmung to get us started, please? [Edit:] Also, who do I talk to to disband my Free Company? (In Yellow Serpents) [Edit 2:] Nevermind, I figured it out.

Question: What's the current queue on Balmung, and am I able to transfer my characters there while it says I am unable to create new characters on Balmung? Side Note: The game also says I can't currently make new characters on Gilgamesh.

Well, last time I tried to get into Balmung just to make a character to get a feel for it, the game wouldn't even let me log onto the server because it was full... and this wasn't even during the beginning or near an expansion, and I don't even think it was near a content patch. I just thought that Balmung was consistently full no matter what, and it would be difficult to get in regardless of when I would try. So, when I tried to make a character on it a little while ago and it let me, I figured things were better. Were there still queues to get in, before this whole Heavensward thing was around? And do you think there'll be bad queues for a while after this expansion releases? Also, can anyone get me an estimate as to what the average wait time is right now?

Good to hear that there's a lot of good RP around on Balmung. But, I don't much want to play on Gilgamesh anymore, so I don't think I'll be waiting to transfer... Are the wait times to log in really so bad, right now? How long does it take to get online? I thought Square Enix got these server issues ironed out a long time ago. Also, that would be great, if you could help when you can. My character, Emi, is rather timid, so she won't be disputing your character's attitude. [Edit:] Thanks for the offer, Adolar, but I've been thinking I'd prefer being on Balmung. I'm really not sure, though... I don't know, I'm incredibly indecisive.

Hey, everyone. First of all, I'm new to this website. I just registered. I started playing FFXIV on the first day of A Realm Reborn's release, but I haven't been playing for quite a while. My highest level character is my Miqo'te Summoner at 35. I have been playing on the Gilgamesh server with my bf since we started, because it was elected to be one of the two big RP servers, along with Balmung, however we noticed (and this may very well be incorrect) that many of the roleplayers on Balmung who were posting on forums seemed to be rather elitist and standoffish, so we elected to make our characters on Gilgamesh, instead. The last time I logged into FFXIV, I was travelling between the different cities and noticed a large decrease in RP activity. In fact, I hardly saw anyone roleplaying at all. So, now that this new expansion is dropping tomorrow (later today, really) and I have money to spend on a world transfer, I'm about to transfer all my characters to Balmung, because that's what seems to be the one server with a ton of RP activity. So, I'm here to ask all of you who roleplay on Balmung, how is the RP activity there? Are there still a lot of people roleplaying in the cities? Do you guys host multi-guild and/or server-wide RPs? Would any of you be willing to help someone who's still fairly inexperienced with the game's lore learn more? Thanks in advance.
