Second, please stop this.  Balmung players, take a look at yourself.  Some (not all) of you are getting quite nasty and venomous...then wonder why the Gilgamesh players don't want to play with you?  There are two servers, one legacy, one non.  No matter how justified either side feels, being nasty or bitter doesn't help.  I know players on Balmung and Gilgamesh that are embarrased and disgusted by the infighting.

This isn't helping the RPC.  And both sides are responsible.  For our sake, Balmung and Gilgamesh players alike...can we please stop this?

I generally don't take sides but the Gilgamesh dude came in pretty aggressive, where's his chastising man?

Reread my thread.  I specifically said both sides are responsible.

I reread it, she's speaking specifically about the bias singling out Balmung players (some of them), telling them to "take a look at themselves." She's asking why there was no repercussion to the Gilgamesh side (implying straight up you're bias).

 Everybody is not going to Gilgamesh for the same reasons. Can't we just respect people's reasons as adults to choose no matter what that reason is?

Quote:*sigh*

I have noted many Balmung players asking why people are going to Gilgamesh instead of Balmung with them. I pointed out one reason. You're not going to have a lot of success by being venomous. You're not presenting yourself in a manner that would attract players and are, in fact, contributing to the very problem you're lamenting.

I am not taking sides. I am not admonishing anyone. I am trying to get people from both servers to realize that this is doing nothing but causing massive amounts of damage. I am a father, and my tone (which isn't conveyed over the net sadly) was similar. "Son, I know you're upset Billy won't play with you, but look at how you're behaving. Do you think this will make him more likely to play with you?"

Both sides, drop the anger and knee jerk reactions. Calm yourself and clear your mind before responding. Tensions are high and it's getting the best of us.

"You want to play FFXIV? I advise you to go to a server. They're all pretty good. Here are two that are particularly good. Which one would you like better? Try them out."

The Drama Llama needs to be put back in its cage. Put the anger back under the rock it came from, and have a group hug. We really are all here for the same purpose. It's about time we start acting like it instead of arguing over silly things. Bad attitudes, and really, attitudes at all, aren't going to change anyone's perception. Just be supportive and welcoming, and things will sort themselves out in the end.

Outside from our personal group Balmung is being advertised as the roleplaying server by another organization that many gamers read

This has the sub-fact that:

1. People who are looking for an RP server who have not found their way here already or who are trying to decide which place to go after a web-search may have a slightly increased chance of finding Balmung.

What this sub-fact does not mean:

1. One server is better than the other. One is more established - that's a fact and there are perks with that fact and that fact is the primary reason I understand Gilgamesh to be formed.

2. That anyone on either side should go spamming the beta forums, youtube, or any other place to make things "even" or carry out a flamewar.

If I may:

Unintentionally I think there's a lot of sub-things being said that perpetuate this flame war:

What does the statement "Our product doesn't have asbestos!" really say?

Yes, it says that the product doesn't have this material in it. But, it also strongly implies that it doesn't have asbestos UNLIKE other similar products. They can get away with saying "We didn't say that X has asbestos in it" and make that claim but it's actually a bit sneaky on the marketing departments.

I've seen a lot of commons here and in other threads "Our server will X" "Our server will Y" which include things like the aforementioned asbestos comment and I think that's where a lot of our anger comes from. In people (and I'm going to presume all of this is accidental and just good natured) 's enthusiasm to talk about the good points of their own place there IS a tendency to imply the other group has weak points that realistically haven't been established.

Considering that people have chosen servers or in some case are the people who are being talked about... it's taken personally (how could it not be?) and then people get upset and the arguments get really heated.

The middle school teacher in me asks you to really, really consider if you're giving an asbestos comment, thus. Just check before you post to make sure your words aren't implicating someone else in an action. We only have a short while until we get to all play a game we're super excited about... it'd be nice if we could put this behind us.
