I think that the OP's message has largely been misunderstood or perhaps, in some cases, purposefully misrepresented by those who don't truly wish to listen. The fact of the matter is that there are people who want to participate in an RP community that is free and open; create a character and go. Balmung is not that.
Balmung is far too full and inaccessible to those new to the community as well as those wishing to play a new role. You shouldn't have to pay a transfer fee in order to enjoy your hobby with others. I don't care if the fee is only 1 cent. You still shouldn't have to pay it.
What the OP is doing, as I understand it, is not a beratement of the Balmung community, but a call for assistance in setting up a secondary RP server. You don't even need to transfer. If all you did was set up an alt on this new server and devote some time to RPing there, it would go a long way toward building this new community. You have a right to refuse to help your fellow RPers and go about your business, but in that case, the only thing you help build is resentment.
I have a character on Balmung with an established group of friends that I RP with, but I also know people who want to participate but can't due to the server being so full. I'll be making alts on Mateus and playing them, so why can't some of you do the same to help this new community grow?
