One person will say it's plentiful, alive and well, etc, and another says they can't find any or it's "imploded" or "full of drama" or any of a number of comments which may or may not be A) factual, or B) subject solely to individual perspective.ÂSee, my twofold problem with hopping to Balmung with my character is 1) I'd be ditching a full free company of friends I play with almost weekly and 2) I am to goddamn cheap to shell out 20 bucks extra for a transfer > 3>
I can, however, say with certainty that RP on Balmung is widespread and active.
I can also assure you that it would be far simpler to pay the $18 for a server transfer than to level an alt, considering the rare opportunities to create a new alt on Balmung coupled with the very nice value of the transfer in that you can transfer up to 8 characters at once (in other words, an entire server roster), provided the characters have the same origin server and all of them meet the general transfer requirements noted on the official website's server transfer data page.
But given the other replies in this thread, I may as well dig deep and see who I can't turn up!
These days, it's hard to find much entertainment that doesn't cost $20. :p Movie ticket, popcorn, and a pop, twenty bucks. Eat a meal somewhere that isn't fast food, twenty bucks. Playing a game of laser tag with some friends, twenty bucks. Personally, I looked at it as being $2.50 per character if I did 8 characters, and that seemed pretty okay.Â
But, definitely don't jump ship from your friends, though. That's the rub though, really - because part of how a lot of people find RP more easily is to be in an FC that is RP-driven. If your friends aren't into RP, you may eventually feel like you're being pulled in two directions. Hopefully not, though!
