Additional pros: 

The gold farmers can't get in either, so unlike other servers you get zero gold farmer spamming.

RP is everywhere, you will struggle not to encounter somebody IC in the main cities at basically any hour of the day. Pretty much the only valid reason a person could say they can't become involved in RP on Balmung is because they have a personal reason that has nothing to do with the community or server (see below).

Due to the high population, it's generally pretty easy to find groups to do group content - and it's also very easy to get high level players to crush you unsynced through low-level group content if you just want to fly through your main story quests and don't really care about experiencing the dungeons and trials as-intended.


Cons:

It costs $18 to transfer onto the server, but this is somewhat mitigated by the fee being flat-rate for up to 8 characters, provided those characters came from the same origin server. If you think you might ever possibly want to play an alt, it therefore behooves you to pre-make 8 characters and transfer them as a batch. That way if you want to play a new alt, you have seven of them already waiting for you to come up with a personality and story to give to the name and appearance.

If you have a social anxiety disorder which makes it difficult for you to interact with new people and you have had difficulties breaking into RP groups in the past as a result of this, Balmung's high population and extensive community is not a magical cure for your disorder. Plenty of people who have such conditions have come to Balmung looking for RP and still have felt unable to become involved. That said, if that's a condition which is applicable to you, the higher population does at least increase the likelihood of encountering players with similar struggles or who will be willing to work with yours.

This player has a sense of humor. If the content of the post suggests otherwise, please err on the side of amusement and friendship, because that's almost certainly the intent. We're all on the same team: Team Roleplayer! Have a smile, have a chuckle, and have a slice of pie. Isn't pie great?
