No offense to the Original Poster but I read your statement twice over and each time I read it I feel like its almost bashing 'us' on Balmung for not wanting to transfer off? Some of us have been on this server since 2.0 Launch. The responsibility of creating an atmosphere typically falls upon just one individual starting something and working hard to get it lifted off the ground (really Hard but its very plausible!). It's like running a Free Company but bigger, the Organization is the same though. You need to cull out the in-actives, you need to find people willing to help you and get them elevated into positions that can assist the development you seek. You also then need to hit the pavement per-say and get the information out there.Â
This site is only one avenue, the Main Forums is another good place to advertise because a lot of new players don't come here immediately but end up finding this place due to Google Searches and what not. I just don't think its entirely fair to state Balmung is the Problem when on the reverse (from what I read mind you) it doesn't seem you've stepped up to try and create an environment else where either or have gone into any great details about any efforts you've attempted to make.
Free Company's are born on Balmung every-day, but its the ones that put in the effort that grow. Its a community you try to foster. My own free company is fairly new to Balmung (Created in December) but after nearly 6 Months, we went from a Member Base of 4 to 40. Not because we 'waited' for people to join but got ourselves out there, pushed our theme, made great efforts on promotion and building a good name. These are things that take time to cultivate and time to grow. Its not an overnight thing, and it certainly isn't easy. Early on I had to do a great deal of things alone but as I garnished members I found people who would put the work in too and thus had help. This is the same story for most FC leaders who have growing, developing communities. Especially the big communities here on HRPC! They all had to put in the same effort, not only them but HRPC here too! Kylin who started this I'm assuming didn't have a great deal of help back then but the idea was born and the leg work started. (Sorry if I'm wrong, Kylin I knew back as Costia so He's the first person I know to have run this site... back in 2.0).
I get it an RP Environment is harder to foster, but the principles are still there. Leg Work, Promotion, Time and Patience.

The above in brackets is the reason why It seems you havent put in the leg work because it appears you want others to do it instead. Unfortunately that isnt how a successful organization is built, atleast for long term lifespans. We are here to offer advice and what not but the /other/ server whatever it may be needs someone there that'll put in all the above I mentioned...
