That of course does not preclude adding another US-based RP server as well - assuming the RP population is large enough to support it.
(Talking about a second RP server is a bit misleading since there historically has been a second un-official RP server: Gilgamesh. Â RP there appears to have died down over the years though.)
One problem with creating an alternate US-based RP server is that it will compete with Balmung (assuming Balmung opens up again eventually) and many RPers will choose to move to the largest one for obvious reasons.
An EU server would have less problem with this since then people would choose largely based on timezone.
Thanks for the feedback, Skae. There is already a growing discussion on an EU specific RP server going on just a few threads down!
On the subject of Gilgamesh, it is no longer a viable alternative since it is under the same character creation and transfer restrictions that Balmung is. It has also dwindled down slowly as Balmung lured it's players away with promises of a community that didn't actively grief them. The smaller servers seem to not have the same issues given... that they are really small and any population boost would be a boon.
The EU Server discussion!
