I've been on Balmung since about November and have brought a few people to FFXIV with me. Unfortunately another one of those friends decided to take an extra month to decide she does want to play and bought the game last week. Was "going to transfer after maintenance" and now she's screwed.
I was going to wait for this poll in the other thread but putting off more time when she's wanting to max out before Stormblood seems like a waste, so I'm sending her and others who will probably join up with her to Mateus. Seems like some people from there are aggressively making an effort to create a communicative RP community and it's really all you can do at this point. I will probably transfer over an alt as well.
I really do feel for those who wanted to join friends on Balmung, but at this time I highly doubt SE is going to make any alterations to their initial post, regardless of how many people post on the OF with complaints.
For those who are new and upset, please don't let this ruin your FFXIV or Stormblood experience. It'll all settle down eventually and if the word gets out and those on the alternative RP server ALL pitch in, there's no reason it can't be just as vibrant as Balmung someday.
