Balmung locked and we were all supposed to come together and put people somewhere else - temporary or not.
It was supposed to be a simple community effort to put people somewhere while Balmung is not an option and while people set up camp to forge a new server or pushed for an official <RP> tag or whatever.
It's turned into a bunch of people pushing their agendas and not listening. Telling people they are doing too much, telling people they are doing to little, fighting over whats the best server, fighting over "Balmung taking over" or "Balmung isn't doing anything" or "Balmung should be the only option" or "Mateus is a terrible option" or fighting over... I don't even KNOW what at this point?
This was supposed to be an endeavor to help
We all need to take a step back and look at what this is becoming.
It's such a shame.
To be fair to everyone, the very first post in this thread wasn't the nicest way of getting an Idea Across. Though I am a proponent of voice conversations in these instances (less drama that way) we have to make due with written text. Now, don't get me wrong I see your point but Balmung is Closed. Many of us in this thread (not all of us but many) agree that we aren't going to depart Balmung but we certainly can offer some advice, and be supportive.Â
I think most of us just believe its unrealistic to /expect/ people to go to another server and dedicate so much time building that server up while our own love (Balmung) is waiting there. I personally have Obligations to a large Member Base and came to this thread to offer advice, its all I can do. I think that's all anyone here can do from Balmung (with some exceptions). The truth is, a Community is built by a Community. Often takes an individual doing the leg work and finding the strength to pull people together. I've actually never even seen (in any previous MMO) another Server needing to go to another Server to build it up. That blows my mind.Â
So I agree we can be extremely supportive and /do what we can/ but I really think its more dependent on people on a particular server pulling their weight, making waves happen that'll be the best and biggest impact. Mateus sounds like a great alternative for people to go and they should strongly consider consolidating themselves onto that server especially with Balmung being closed. One poster said it best, Balmung is Closed... So we can support Mateus by sending people there.. in the interim. When Balmung opens up again, if it does, then in that time we should have 2 Strong RP communities...
So.. Support Mateus (I agree with the Person I Quoted Sentiment) but do it within reason. We are all here to have fun and not compromise that for ourselves.. but there is no reason we can't Advise people to head over to Mateus if they ask ^_^ or offer friendly advise about organization, site development, PR approaches and what not.
