The reason why smaller rp servers have such a bad rap is because if there's even a little drama it spreads through the community like wild fire and... there's really no where else to turn. The community is small, you either rp with those people you dislike or get off the server. Ain't like that on Balmung.
You're not wrong. Â Â
Beyond the drama there are some benefits to the small town style RP community. Â It's easier to become a more significant part of said community. Â You can really get a 'Cheers' esque feel to it where 'everyone knows your name'. Â I think some of the conflict might be that people fear, losing that? Â Also there is probably some fear that the current 'movers and shakers' are just going to get swallowed up by an external influx that already has some ties to each other? Â I don't know.
There's a lot to be said in both directions for both the Balmung and the Mateus community styles. Â It'll be interesting to watch how things shake out in either case.
