Erah'sae Posted May 30, 2017 Share #101 Posted May 30, 2017 Welcome to Balmung. Apparently we crashed the Steps of Nald too. I even hit actual queues on Cactaur on this one. Though Nald didn't crash there. I'm not sure what was up last night, but it decidedly wasn't just Balmung centric. Link to comment

Cactuar's on Aether with Balmung and Gilgamesh so that was most likely a contributor. Probably the same thing we'll see in 2 weeks. Link to comment
Erah'sae Posted May 30, 2017 Share #103 Posted May 30, 2017 I'm currently on Moogle but I find the RP community small and if there is one they probably speak all French , which is a language I dont speak / understand. So I am looking for an RP server my aim was to go to either Balmung or Gilgamesh but I can't transfer due to SE's blocking that. So I want to know which server has alternative solutions for this ? Faerie, Lich, Mataeus, and Ultros all seem to have upcoming RP communities. There are smaller communities on a few other servers as well. Toss a feeler out in the Making Connections forum (I think this is the right place) with what you're looking for, RP wise, and see what gets a hit. Link to comment

Though from the last housing debacle, I know Cactaur operated well enough while Balmung exploded horribly, so I really wasn't expecting it. This was the first real test of the new servers as well, hopefully they learn a bit from analyzing what happened. Link to comment

ArmachiA Posted May 31, 2017 Share #108 Posted May 31, 2017 This is why the enforcement of blocking transfers into Balmung should've been in effect long ago and why it IS, in fact, okay to "split" the RP community to another server. I'd like to think that with Stormblood, maybe after the first 2 weeks (upon initial launch, not early access) the Devs will patch the shit out of things and Balmung will be stable????? Wishful thinking.... Is there anyway to do this though? I feel like Balmung is going to crash a lot when Stormblood hits. Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted May 31, 2017 Share #109 Posted May 31, 2017 I think people did talk about how Balmung has been congested since about last year and half ago that it was wise to let new communities build their own. But it was thrown into garbage can because most Balmung community felt that it was important to stick everyone in one server. So yeah, we do have more players than Heavensward launch. Data transfer to stabilize or not, it's bound to crash frequently in Balmung for first week imo. Early Access will just be unplayable then first week of that will be worse for those who wanted to play right on the launch date. Link to comment

But it was thrown into garbage can because most Balmung community felt that it was important to stick everyone in one server. Now look where that's got us, and we're paying for it (literally with transfers, I'm really glad that's not an option anymore. I don't want people to pay extra just to get RP). This was needed earlier, hence why I suggested an EU RP designation when SE first offered free transfers to the EU datacenter, but even that was scrapped because people said "no we should stay on Balmung where it's all at."

Mercer Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share #111 Posted June 1, 2017 So we are 14 days out from Stormblood. The poll has been resting for a few weeks now and there are going to be even more people joining. Do we feel like we should get the next big poll under way? Of the servers voted on it seems like Mateus, Faerie, Jenova and Sargantas had the most support between the poll here and on Tumblr. Would it be best to limit to those four choices? Link to comment
Papajimboh Posted June 2, 2017 Share #112 Posted June 2, 2017 Possibly, but it will be affected if one or more of them aren't on the transfer list. It would still give us a pretty clear cut favorite though. Link to comment
Neri Posted June 2, 2017 Share #113 Posted June 2, 2017 Hi everybody, I am not able to vote but.. I would like to say that I am knowing more people that RP inside Cerberus. It is interesting because it just happen... Sometimes I don't even have the RP flag... I go walking in a city and the RP just starts... Contact me ingame if you are interested in beginning an RP inside Cerberus! Neri 1 Link to comment
Mercer Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share #114 Posted June 3, 2017 Alright, even if we don't hear about the server transfers I'm going to start the next poll on the 7th. We're starting to cut it close to Early Access and I know a lot of folks are sitting on their hands waiting. If transfer information comes out sooner than that, I'll start the poll that day.

Mercer Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share #115 Posted June 14, 2017 We've finally got information on when the server transfer info will be given out: Thursday the 15th. I've had a feeling it would be during downtime with the rest of the patchnotes. As soon as we get this info I'll be starting an indefinite poll for people to vote on their preferences. I will be noting the options that have free transfers available but outside of that I won't be splitting the poll. Link to comment
