I'd just like to add that I'm a legacy player, but I don't have a level 50 anything. So not everyone with legacy has a super established character. I'm also in no rush to get to the "end". I rather prefer to enjoy the journey.
As for the matter at hand, I'm in the wait and see position at this point.
- If there will be an official RP server, I'll likely start over there.
- If not, I'll stay on Balmung with the RPC.
If Balmung does in fact remain the main RP server I'm personally not too worried about it. As I said above, I've never made it to 50 anyway. I already realized that I was below the curve even in 1.0. Of course that's not an "okay" situation for everyone, but not everyone levels at the same speed and there will always be people that join a game later when the RP community is already established. You see all the time on MMO forums ask "What is the RP server?" We already know how small we are as a community overall, so most want to go where the majority are already established.
I think another solution would be to create a new linkshell/FC for new players instead of going to a new server. That way that group can establish its own lore and level together and still participate in server events that will likely create connections with already established linkshells etc. Not everyone is going to be closed off to new players. Even if some are, you wouldn't want to play with their type anyway.
I actually don't have an LS/FC at this point, but I plan to find one. Failing that, I may even create my own, and I would more than be eager to welcome new faces.
So don't disrepair too much. There will be some helping hands on Balmung if that does remain the RP server of choice and if you so decide to join there. And don't be too surprised if you pass me by in leveling even though I'm a legacy player.
