Welp. I somehow missed my window for entering Balmung after the maintenance. Somehow. Despite standing by and checking constantly for the servers to come up. I've sniffed around a little, and it truly seems like Balmung and Gilgamesh are at their limits. Yet all I see is "Oh, come to Balmung, we have the best and most active RP Community!", which may well be true, but it doesn't matter if no one new can join. Simply put; we need a third unofficial RP server. There's no getting around it. When no one but the ones who pay can enter the RP community, it might as well not exist. What are people new to the RP community supposed to do? The RP servers are literally locked 24/7.
I think we need to have a discussion on where the third unofficial RP server is going to be. I don't like it, but Square won't improve the servers. They'll just continue to lock more people out. Are us newbies doomed to simply eat cake? "Too bad, so sad. Pay to transfer."? We need to find a solution to this problem that's equitable to everyone before it gets worse, and it WILL get worse as people continue to squeeze into the only two RP servers.
