I don't want the community to split even further, either. It's already bad that a bunch of RPers decided to go to a second server, and I swear that it's the very first time I've ever seen such a thing happen in a community of RPers, which are a minority to start with. The last thing we need is a third split.

I feel sad thinking about all the wonderful characters and stories I'll be missing, just because, for one reason or another, the community was unable to remain freaking united. It does suck. Any sort of split sucks.

It's not that I don't agree with you, it's that this is really common. Â In WoW, there's the huge Wyrmrest Accord vs. Moon Guard split. Â In Neverwinter Nights, I lost count of the number of Persistent World Servers started precisely because people didn't want to play nice. Â Before that it was SEAChat sites destroyed by infighting, and before that spats between cliques in Ayenee.
At least this situation isn't a case of, "Omg, those Balmung people are so gross and such horrible RPers!" or "Omg, those Gilgamesh newbs are just trolls, always metagaming." Â Or another variation of that theme.
