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.
lol You're much more of a communal service type of person than I am then. As much as I love Reddit, I don't think I'd ever leave an established and hardcore roleplaying community to cater to a minority of casual roleplayers on another server. Simply because my playstyle leans more towards Balmung.
Like I said before. If you want to deliver roleplay to their door, that's very noble of you but...it still seems a bit silly to me. And I'm sorry if that opinion is insulting to anyone, but I can't think of another word to describe it lol. Redditors have the ability to make their own choices, like everyone else. Do they want to play with Reddit friends or do they want to roleplay in an established, heavy roleplaying environment? There's absolutely nothing wrong with making them make that choice. It would be great if we had a big enough community to put a large number of roleplayers on every server that wanted them...the sad fact of the matter is that roleplaying communities usually aren't that big. :/
