Naunet Posted January 7, 2015 Share #76 Posted January 7, 2015 Because it means a prohibitive cost (wanted to say large, but if they're running on that kind of outdated hardware I'd say it wouldn't be that bad a cost), a long ass maintenance and in so far as SE is concerned, they don't care where you play the game so long as you play it. Hard to play it if you can't get on the server you want. A "long ass maintenance" is rather a negligible excuse. At worst it would be 24 hours, and maintenance time shouldn't be something holding them back from improving the game; it's kind of a given. The only real one would be cost and honestly... if they don't want to afford actually up-to-date hardware, that is just not cool. Link to comment
Altitis Acquired Posted January 8, 2015 Share #77 Posted January 8, 2015 I have seen several people writing that they are making characters on another world and then transfers to Balmung. Perhaps that's the only way to do it at the time being... though it sucks we have to pay for getting a new character on the server we like. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted January 8, 2015 Share #78 Posted January 8, 2015 Transfers cost way too much for someone who's poverty like me. Link to comment
Altitis Acquired Posted January 8, 2015 Share #79 Posted January 8, 2015 Transfers cost way too much for someone who's poverty like me. Same, but it seems like the only way to do so, if you want a new alt on Balmung. I just wish Squeenix would make an official statement as to WHY Balmung is perma-closed for the time being.

Kellach Woods Posted January 8, 2015 Share #80 Posted January 8, 2015 That's why I'm banking on Maintenance tonight to make all my alts. STILL FUCKING CLOSED ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Link to comment
Kurt S. Posted January 8, 2015 Share #81 Posted January 8, 2015 I GOT IN AHAHAHAH. FEELS GOOD TO CRAM IN TWO ALTS IN THE SPACE OF A MINUTE. Link to comment
Perth Posted January 8, 2015 Share #82 Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah, just made my alt a minute before 1:00am CST, felt good :'D That being said, any who are interesting in making toons should try again within exactly three hours! You may luck out! Link to comment
Higura Posted January 8, 2015 Share #83 Posted January 8, 2015 I managed to get in, myself, at exactly 1 AM. Er, 11 PM, or whatever. So now nothing should stop me from logging in, if the Character is made, right? (Provided the game isn't in maintenance.) Link to comment

You might sometimes get a small like... 10 man queue, but that ends in like a minute Link to comment

SerialX Posted January 8, 2015 Share #88 Posted January 8, 2015 Bugger, I missed it. I was too busy sleeping On Cactuar I shall remain for now then. Link to comment
Khaja Posted January 8, 2015 Share #89 Posted January 8, 2015 Bugger, I missed it. I was too busy sleeping On Cactuar I shall remain for now then. Keep an eye out for when maintenance ends! That's usually a good time to get in as well! Don't worry! Link to comment

Create character >force shut down FF14 >pray to god maint hasn't happened>create character 2 >pray to god maint hasn't happened >put character 2 in Balmung >cry tears of joy. Easily the most accurate description and struggle of getting characters into Balmung, ever. Link to comment
SerialX Posted January 8, 2015 Share #92 Posted January 8, 2015 Bugger, I missed it. I was too busy sleeping On Cactuar I shall remain for now then. Keep an eye out for when maintenance ends! That's usually a good time to get in as well! Don't worry! Mhm, I'll be keeping an eye out, though I suspect I won't be able to log in when maintenance ends. Not being at home until 1½ hour after maintenance ends may end up being a problem. But who knows! I may get lucky! Link to comment
Canuklehead Posted January 8, 2015 Share #93 Posted January 8, 2015 I think it's open right now... I started and successfully logged in to a new character I just made on Balmung Link to comment
Caspar Posted January 8, 2015 Share #94 Posted January 8, 2015 I waited and waited... now I finally make it in <3 Link to comment
SerialX Posted January 8, 2015 Share #95 Posted January 8, 2015 Surprisingly, it is still open. I just managed to create a character as well. Link to comment
Steel Wolf Posted January 8, 2015 Share #97 Posted January 8, 2015 Guys, this is an historic moment. Someone needs to write this day down. ...the day SE's servers entered 2015. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted January 8, 2015 Share #98 Posted January 8, 2015 Got it. Cwinuwil Fyrfolgsyn and Sasati Sati are now things that exist. Post maint seems to be the best window. Link to comment
ProvaDiServo Posted January 8, 2015 Share #99 Posted January 8, 2015 Still open guys, just got my character through. Link to comment
Coatleque Posted January 8, 2015 Share #100 Posted January 8, 2015 Half-hour later, still open. 8:40am EST, just made my first alt. Link to comment
