Splitting time between two servers? also idea? - Unlikely_Arcanist - 08-04-2013
how hard is it to split time between two servers? i wanted to initially wanted to just make one character but i have (what I think would be an awsome) idea for a character. i want to join a free company on gilgamesh but want to start a linkshell on balmung. as for the linkshell on balmung, would anybody be interested in doing like a boxing or fighying pvp linkshell? something hoprfully different. i would like to hsbe equal time eith both charactets but if that cant be done then i will just stick with my main guy. ig you are interested feel free yo set iy up if you would likr. im not much of a doer more of just make an idea. sorry for the misspellings, im ony phone

You're going to be the best one to answer this question for yourself. Â Every RPer is different. Â I personally do not play multiple characters very well, preferring to add more depth and story to one character. Â But that is also my own style and I know there are plenty of RPers out there who are able distribute their time evenly, between 4 or more characters. Â But if have the free time and are willing and able to play the same character across two servers, you'll probably be all right. Â Or you could play two totally different characters, but you'll just want to keep in mind that will also slant how your experience goes.
The other thing I would recommend for those opting to play on both servers is to consider that what you're experiencing on each server is going to be only a sampling of that server's RP community. Â I would not write off an entire server - either Balmung or Gilgamesh - based on some lackluster RP early on. Â It sounds like both servers will have multiple groups and if one doesn't mesh well on one server it might be worthwhile to research some others first before selecting a full-time server.

I'll try it out with two characters and if one fails i will at least have something to fall back on! thanks for the advice again(08-04-2013, 01:53 PM)Unlikely_Arcanist Wrote: how hard is it to split time between two servers?
