That's Reddit's concern, not the RPC's. It sounds like (to me) that you're suggesting that you're packing up and going to Gilgamesh in order to reach out so that these roleplaying Redditors will have a RP community to enjoy on their own server. As honorable as that sounds...is it not a bit melodramatic?

I'll be honest It wasn't a reason until I spoke to people who were from that community in pms here, and in the game during beta 3 who wanted to stay there and wanted to try out rp. It wasn't a concern until the threads like this one that come up over and over again because people are concerned about having them around due to the possibility of trolling. Once all of these things started happening I did some research found the links and decided to add that to my reasons of going to Gilgamesh. I also made sure to let it be known that there are roleplayers that are going to be there, many who are trying it for the first time and as I mentioned in this thread who are going to be there trying out rp or roleplaying whether there are RPC members or not.

Before I got a pm from one particular person I was falling into that realm of stereotyping too, believing everything that was said here and to me in other places and honestly thinking about perhaps Leviathan being a better choice. Once I got that pm I did my own research and looked around, got those links and said to myself hmmm....they don't seem that bad you know and that was pretty much it and thus decided to give it a go on Gilgamesh and help get things started.
But was it my original reason for going there? Honestly no it wasn't. I just like the idea of starting in a new place with all new people and experiencing everything together for the first time .I think Balmung is in a good position honestly and will be just fine with plenty of seasoned rp vets like yourself that are going to be there. This time around I'd like to try something different and the smaller rp community that will be on Gilgamesh at launch can certainly use things like rp events to help get it started. (I'm doing one myself and there are some other events happening by others headed to Gilgamesh).
So while perhaps its more Reddit's concern as a roleplayer I'm more interested in the roleplaying community as a whole no matter what server it is, whether its Balmung, Leviathan, Cactuar, Behemoth or wherever. If someone asked me to do an event for the rp community on any server where there is roleplaying I would in an instant, this includes Balmung so I don't consider myself to be an RPC man in the sense of server exclusivity. For me the RPC represents the rp community of FFXIV I don't buy into the whole server exclusive thing, never have. I buy into the roleplay exclusive thing and where there is roleplay I'll lay my head.
But anyway I think I'm done with this particular topic. See you all in game!
