I've never seen this "pecking order" on Balmung. There are a lot of new FC/LSs forming there just fine and no one is telling them to get in the back. I do see people on Gilgimesh saying that they have no fear about the possible "bad" communities going to their server, yet they seem to fear the community on Balmung. Why not take that same defiant energy for playing on Gilgamesh and do it with the rest of us on Balmung? That's an honest question. I think that would be awesome, actually. It would create that spice that you want. Because as I see it, new fellow role-players are more afraid of the old role-players than communities with bad reputations. That, my friends, is pretty scary as a role-player, new or old. If we can't get along in our own little corner of the game then what are we doing?
As I see it, we're all role-players (otherwise, why are you here), no one is telling anyone what to do, but as one type of community, I thought we were all here for the same thing. I mean, we try to get along on -this very website- as one community, why can't we do that on the same dang server? Now it's seems we're two things, New RP and Old RP, which, like I said before, in a couple months will be pretty much the same on both servers. There will be old Gilgamesh RP and old Balmung RP. What will the difference be? This is what I'm trying to figure out. I get the reasons -right now-, but this is a long-term deal, so what will be different in a couple months? What will make one distinct to the other? What will we tell new players? "This one has 'these' role-players here, and that one has 'those' role-players there."
Even after saying all that, I'm not all that worried about all this. Really, the more I think about it, as far as the RPC goes, I think this will be a moot point after a while. There are clearly only a handful of staunch Gilgamesh supporters willing to fight their good fight. Once the game is going and everyone gets involved in their groups etc things will quiet down a lot. So I'm going with the attitude of letting things play out. I may have my opinion on the matter (above), but at the end of the day I'm not really worried.
I just want to play!
