Amelia Posted November 15, 2014 Share #2 Posted November 15, 2014 Hey, yeah... Now that you mention it, I haven't had an RMT message in a long while. Wow! :surprise: But now they're back, you say? Drats. Link to comment
Blue Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted November 16, 2014 Hey, yeah... Now that you mention it, I haven't had an RMT message in a long while. Wow! :surprise: But now they're back, you say? Drats. Eh, it's only when the server is open really, so they don't bother me. I'll post in this thread whenever I get a tell, since it's a clear sign servers are open for transfer/creation. I know a lot of players are still waiting! Link to comment
Verranicus Posted November 16, 2014 Share #4 Posted November 16, 2014 Wish they would just upgrade the server hardware. It's hard to convince friends to join the game when after you telling them how fun it is there's always that "BUT.. you have to be up at 4AM to get on the same server as me". Link to comment
Blue Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted November 17, 2014 Bump! Server is open again! Link to comment
Blue Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted November 20, 2014 New day, new tell. Balmung is open! Link to comment
Shoshopu Posted November 24, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 24, 2014 Just got a character in! Balmung's open! Link to comment
Berrod Armstrong Posted December 11, 2014 Share #8 Posted December 11, 2014 The server is up and Balmung is open right now! Link to comment
Whovian Posted December 13, 2014 Share #9 Posted December 13, 2014 Yay! Now I wish there was Rp around. It's like a tomb even though it's full of people in Gridania ... Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted December 15, 2014 Share #10 Posted December 15, 2014 It's a shame my friend can't make a character atm even though he's been waking up in the morning to make a character :C Link to comment
BumblingSeaBiscuit Posted December 15, 2014 Share #11 Posted December 15, 2014 It is very hard to get in on the weekends. After Monday it starts to smooth out. Link to comment
Kismet Posted December 16, 2014 Share #12 Posted December 16, 2014 As of right now, Balmung is open. Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted December 16, 2014 Share #13 Posted December 16, 2014 Checked at 6-7 am, didn't work Link to comment
Kismet Posted December 16, 2014 Share #14 Posted December 16, 2014 This morning it seemed to open some time around 1-2pm GMT (I made a character exactly at 8:30am EST). I had been checking around 6-7am EST for the past week, so I was actually too early, lol. I suggest trying around 1pm GMT tomorrow if you can. Link to comment
Zetchryn Posted December 17, 2014 Share #15 Posted December 17, 2014 TIS UP RIGHT NOW, 9 AM EST Link to comment
Havoc Snow Posted December 21, 2014 Share #16 Posted December 21, 2014 Have a friend that has been trying to get into Balmung for the last few days and it's never open. Anyone know when is a good time to start checking? Link to comment
Kage Posted December 21, 2014 Share #17 Posted December 21, 2014 I think because it's winter holidays and right now is the weekend is a bad time. Generally, check 3am-5am PST. Things to remember: have character appearance saved. Try like 10 within servers going up or down from/for maintenance. Link to comment
Ilwe'ran Posted December 25, 2014 Share #18 Posted December 25, 2014 Balmung is open right now Link to comment
Clover Posted December 25, 2014 Share #19 Posted December 25, 2014 And thus a new hero has been born. Thank you very much for the notice! Link to comment
Cliodhna Eoghan Posted December 25, 2014 Share #20 Posted December 25, 2014 Whoo got my other alt started now, thank you! x3 Link to comment
Ilwe'ran Posted December 25, 2014 Share #21 Posted December 25, 2014 it's open 99% of time right after maintenance if that helps ^^ Link to comment
Steel Wolf Posted December 25, 2014 Share #22 Posted December 25, 2014 Gosh, trying to make an alt at the very edge of maintenance was thrilling, in a completely weird and ultimately nerd-sad kinda way. Since I'm working so early this morning, I might write up her Wiki page. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted December 26, 2014 Share #23 Posted December 26, 2014 I missed the window due to my own stupidty. I'm kinda hitting myself right now. But for real, right now there are no windows that Balmung is open. Holidays perhaps, but typically people work on this Monday. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted January 3, 2015 Share #24 Posted January 3, 2015 For those of you who want to check by yourself, here are the times where the Character Restrictions are re-evaluated. 3:00 a.m./ 7:00 a.m./ 0:00 p.m./ 5:00 p.m./ 10:00 p.m. (PST) 6:00 a.m./ 10:00 a.m./ 3:00 p.m./ 8:00 p.m./ 1:00 a.m. (EST) So, if you're on EST and you checked at 1 AM, go to bed, it won't change until 6 AM.

This is only when they update the restriction page on the lodestone. I've seen servers open up between these times. Link to comment
