However if it proves to be lasting for longer then just a couple of months... That's what my worry is.
What seems to be a common misconception though... they did NOT lock transfer to Balmung. I transferred my main to Balmung on the... second day of the Heavenward expansion. I just had hit AST 50 on Ceberus EU, said my goodbyes to my old FC and levelled 50-60 with my friend on Balmung after transferring.
Anyhow. My issue would be if they locked it for longer then just a couple of months. But hopefully 1-2 months after Heavensward, it will open again. Who knows!
Yeah, I definitely hope it will be a short lock. More than a couple months will be annoying.
More than a couple months is, imo, the only way for a secondary rp server to gain enough entrenched membership to really become something on its own. I mean, part of what reduced Gilgamesh was Reddit and griefing, right? FCs became insular, and all of that. Not even counting the nasty Balmung vs Gilgamesh sentiments that lead to most of them leaving these boards in favor of their own.
My biggest concern with another rp server is whether or not people will be uh...willing to share the rp community bounty once Balmung reopens. Cuz I do enjoy options, but the snark and snideness that grew out of misplaced competitiveness over which server was 'better' did no good for anyone.
