Vulture Posted February 24, 2015 Share #251 Posted February 24, 2015 Balmung isn't an official role-playing realm so there's no obligation for anyone who doesn't role-play to have a lore friendly name. Yes, but as the toughest server to get on it's not somewhere you go on a whim. Link to comment
Kage Posted February 25, 2015 Share #252 Posted February 25, 2015 Balmung isn't an official role-playing realm so there's no obligation for anyone who doesn't role-play to have a lore friendly name. Yes, but as the toughest server to get on it's not somewhere you go on a whim. Because the 80% of non-RPers have other friends they'd like to play with too. Sorry for posting in here but for those looking to make an alt you may have a shot tonight/tomorrow! All worlds maintenance at 11pm PST (2/25/15)! Scheduled to end 2am PST (2/26/15) Link to comment
Havoc Snow Posted February 26, 2015 Share #253 Posted February 26, 2015 Balmung isn't an official role-playing realm so there's no obligation for anyone who doesn't role-play to have a lore friendly name. Yes, but as the toughest server to get on it's not somewhere you go on a whim. Because the 80% of non-RPers have other friends they'd like to play with too. Pretty much this. There may be a lot of us on Balmung, but RPers do not make up the majority of the playerbase on Balmung. You have to keep in mind that Balmung was the combination of two servers originally, Fabul and Besaid, and only one of those servers was an RP server originally, many of the people who came over from Fabul are still around, and most of the large FCs on the server are all progression guilds with little or no interest in RP.

Selios Posted March 5, 2015 Share #257 Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks for the thread, finally got a character on Balmung! Been trying since friday. Link to comment
Branson Thorne Posted March 5, 2015 Share #258 Posted March 5, 2015 Just logged into Balmung, though I didn't check to see if it was open, the server was completely empty, so I'm assuming it's still open. Link to comment
Kellach Woods Posted March 5, 2015 Share #259 Posted March 5, 2015 As of right now, Balmung is still open. Made new character. Dunno if I will keep due to y'know, all of my catboi hate. Link to comment
Wild Card Posted March 5, 2015 Share #260 Posted March 5, 2015 Still open, just created a char there. Link to comment
Bobo Posted March 5, 2015 Share #261 Posted March 5, 2015 Balmung is still open at the moment, and most likely won't be open again to next maintenance, after it closes today. Link to comment
BabylonianSavage Posted March 6, 2015 Share #263 Posted March 6, 2015 I just got the game today and I was willing wanting to join Balmung and be apart of the rp community with my toon.If anyone could please assist a new player by pming me when it opens I would be in debt ????.Thanks in advance. I'll just be on Couerl til then. Link to comment
Heart Quintessence Posted March 8, 2015 Share #264 Posted March 8, 2015 Yeah I am in the same boat, I'd love to kno when it opens I am probably going to get up UBER early on Monday morning EST and wait around for a few hours to see if I can't get lucky Link to comment
Y'lani Posted March 8, 2015 Share #265 Posted March 8, 2015 I don't mean to come across as rude, but can people please stop bumping this thread unless it's to alert others that the server is open? Most of us have this thread subscribed specifically so we can get an alert when the server is available and every time someone posts in here (this post included) it gives everyone waiting false hope. This. I've learned! Also, from what I've seen, maintenance is the best time to get in. Transferring is also a good way to get in if you don't want to waste your game time. Trust me, I waited ten days, every morning, trying to get into Balmung before the maintenance finally swooped down. It's exhausting, not good for your health, and in the end it wasn't worth it because the server continued not to open in the mornings despite the waiting. Getting in, on the other hand, is very worth it. Balmung is a great server. EDIT: I've made this thread if you're here to talk about Balmung restrictions, and not here to say that Balmung is open. I most definitely recommend posting there instead of here as not to defeat this thread's purpose! excuse my shameless self-endorsement. I'll quote my previous post for those who are struggling with the restriction and would like to talk/discuss it rather than bumping the thread made to let people know when Balmung is open. You'll find your answers there! There are also a few other threads with similar connotations. EDITEDIT: I'll chip in with my own opinion and tell you that the best times to get onto the server is right before or right after maintenance. I also have good luck on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 4 AM to 7 AM CST. This thread was what helped me make Kaj, and I am so grateful for that! It's a good one to follow. Link to comment
Nebbs Posted March 13, 2015 Share #267 Posted March 13, 2015 Open!! Lol I just post the issue and it opens Link to comment
K'nahli Posted March 13, 2015 Share #268 Posted March 13, 2015 Open!! Lol I just post the issue and it opens I will never forget you for this TwT ;;;; Link to comment
Heart Quintessence Posted March 13, 2015 Share #269 Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah I got in! Thank you! Link to comment
mongi291 Posted March 13, 2015 Share #271 Posted March 13, 2015 Meh, by the time I can log in Balmung will be closed again. Besides, three days have passed since I created my character so I can just transfer it. At least I can already start RPing and I don't need to worry about reaching places where most people are. EDIT: Ok, so when I got home Balmung was still open and the transfers still closed so I decided creating it again was better. Oh well, it means I just wasted 17 LNC and 11 CRP lvls. Could've been worse. Link to comment
Chris Ganale Posted March 13, 2015 Share #272 Posted March 13, 2015 The timely spotting of this thread before I went to work allowed me to get Ghost in the server. Much kudos. Link to comment
Aaron Posted March 17, 2015 Share #273 Posted March 17, 2015 Gonna be a long night as I wait for the server to open to get my first alt on Balmung v.v. I blame the government. Link to comment
LiveVoltage Posted March 17, 2015 Share #274 Posted March 17, 2015 Gonna be a long night as I wait for the server to open to get my first alt on Balmung v.v. I blame the government. If you want an accurate time guess for when the server tends to clear out, its usually early to late morning. Cause most folks will be at work on the US central and eastern time and there are not a whole lot of EU players that are on Balmung. A rough guess would be to try 6am CMT to see if the server opens. I kept an eye on server opening and closing for a few week's, so generally, the server opens up in the early morning. EDIT: Server is always open up after maintenance for at least 4 hours or so.
