Episode #017 - The Perks and Pitfalls of Balmung (Part 2)

MuseCast XIV

Join us for the second part of our in-depth discussion of the infamous hub of FFXIV RP: the Balmung server. We brought the sugar, and now it’s time to bring the salt! Having extolled the server’s virtues and advantages in our previous episode, hosts and guests now let loose their rants on what annoys, infuriates, disappoints and saddens them about playing and roleplaying on Balmung. Who is really to blame for these ills? Have things gotten better or worse over time? What does Gilgamesh have to do with all of this? How can we separate the real problems from people’s wrongful perceptions?

Most importantly, we discuss what both we as a community, and Square Enix as a company, can do to make Balmung a fun and pleasant environment for every sort of player. We even lay out a vision for a new and different sort of RP community hub. Featuring Brohamut and Safestsephiroth of The Crucible, with Kyria Highwind.
