To be fair, that is the centerpiece of most of the Balmung group's part of this discussion. At least such has been my understanding. They -DON'T- know all these new people and WANT to welcome them and get to know them and RP with them.
Even in some of the ruder (or passionate, depending on how you read it) posts, that's been why they wanted all the RP'ers on Balmung. For the opportunity to add more folks to the whole (which in itself is a welcoming statement on it's own so that debunks the 'elitist' and 'unwelcoming' commentary on Balmung's players).
Regarding things on the whole? People should play where they want, seriously. It's that simple. No one can 'make' anyone play anywhere and at the end of the day no one has to justify it either. I, however, do hope that the 'competition' dies down so that the undertone of 'hey, come to my server' stops spilling into other threads and people can somehow figure out how to co-exist. Wasn't that why the extra sub-forums were added? And yet the back and forth somehow continues to persist.
We're all roleplayers. We're all the minority in just about any MMO we go to. I'm not sure why that in itself isn't enough for people to just get along civilly, regardless of server choice. The last thing anyone wants to do, I'd think, is turn the RPC into the kind of "environment" for roleplayers that was GW2.
