I've had some questions that I haven't answered since the thread has been locked. I'll happily answer them now.
To be completely blunt, there are RPers that want to RP. They can not RP. There has been little information on where they can go to find RP while Balmung is locked and what there has been was hard to find.Â
Through the discussion in this thread and the thread I started, I have seen a large amount of people wanting to help. They want to put something into action right now, advertise that they are here, have always been here and want to give these lost RPers a home.
To say that all RPers should stay on Balmung is a nice theory, but the reality is that is no longer an option. And that's the keyword here, options. There has always been other servers where RP has lived, but it's been drowned out by Balmung for a very long time. This is an incredible opportunity for these servers to stand up and get the attention they deserve.
Will the new RP community survive after Balmung has reopened? I don't know. Will Balmung reopen? I don't know that either. What I do know that there are people right now that can't play the game how they like so I want to give them new avenues to continue to play. That is the purpose of the threads I've started, not for people to sit on their hands and wait for the opportunity to rejoin, but to find them the opportunity right now, right this minute to play the game how they want with an informed decision.
