Contrast to Quicksand during the same time on Balmung. Full to the brim. Sure, Quicksand might not be an RP hub on Gilgamesh, but I thought I'd fine at least a FEW RPers.

Incorrect. Gilgamesh RPers do not generally RP in the open, preferring their neighborhoods in the private housing areas. There have been a few, brief, open RP moments but they last no longer than thirty minutes and seem to happen in passing.

I'd find this kind of debatable, to a degree. While it's true that there's a lot of neighborhood RP (we have nearly an entire ward of LB dedicated to RP!), I've also seen quite a bit just wandering around the cities. The difficulty, of course, comes in that it doesn't seem to be centralized. There's not a specific hub so much as there are just people going around and RPing as they do their own things. That also means I've found RP just sort of out and about in the world too, not just in the main cities.

The weekly events are a little...monotonous to me; too many open bar nights for my tastes. But we've recently had several very NOT bar nights that were fun to participate in. One of the most fun I've been to in a while was a Starlight party in Ul'dah, in which we passed out gifts and food to refugees. Mind you, this took place outside of the Quicksand, not really inside of it.

All in all, I've played on both servers. I'd personally agree with the earlier sentiment that it feels easier to get 'lost' on Balmung. Both servers have their goods and bads, and it's really up to personal preference as to which one suits your needs as an individual.

Balmung VS Gilgamesh? Decisions, decisions...
