Does that mean Gilgamesh's population is going to be disproportionately oversized, possibly leading to server or queue issues?If that's your fear, I'm not sure that having that "tabula rasa" effect is worth finding a new server devoid of roleplayers just because of a fear of queues. You might not even care about the fact that you started fresh two months after the game launches, but you will care if you pick a server outside of the scope of the RP community.
I really don't care that they have a high proportion of jerks that think they're hilarious. And I don't even care about having a larger population in general, because larger pops means less chance of sitting in a big open space all alone. But I really don't want to have half my buddies stuck at login screen or dealing with server crashes. We'd already decided not to go with Balmung due to the "tabula rasa" effect. And we've been looking at other servers since learning this, but... eergh. Inconvenient. That's what it is.
Unless you're not interested in roleplay, that is.
