I backed off of this thread but seeing a few people seemingly go back and forth.. It's just in timing and who you run into. My personal experiences with the server .. yes I would agree it is quite Toxic. When I first joined the game I would have told you otherwise but in later years that is just how I feel or have been treated by the community bits I have run into.
Personally this thread isn't even on topic anymore as it was suppose to help the OP and instead of taking the various thoughts and opinions in stride we have people going back and forth saying that this person is wrong because this this and this. Even though I do not enjoy the community on the server now doesn't mean someone else cannot get the experience they are after on Balmung. I never once said I hated the server or no one should go there. I've rather enjoyed seeing both sides being discussed on the good and bad of the server.Â
I like to keep in mind that not all tricks and hints will always work for another. Sometimes people get really unlucky or just need that extra push or aid. Instead of listing all the things the OP should or shouldn't do there was the option to message them and invite them to a FC gathering or a open house or even just in a random meet and greet out in the world. I use to do that a lot especially for new rp'ers/members to the game or people who posted they were having trouble locating rp. I may have only gotten a little bit of a interaction myself but I helped build someone else's spirit up or helped them refine their character so they could better locate what they are looking for instead of passing on the same advice everyone else has already said time and time again.Â
(sorry if this came out a little harsh or angry like.. I promise I'm just waking up and my little ones are being a handful ^^; )
