As fresh Mateus native I personally appreciate any effort to promote the server because more RP for everyone means more RP for me, but this is not the attitude we should be presenting, much less on forums that are so heavily tilted in Balmung's favor at present. Many people who have been helping us here are from Balmung, or are Balmung people rolling alts, or they've moved / will move entirely but still understandably have a soft spot for their original server.
Really, people, stop saying things like this. While I've never played on Balmung, I have seen a lot of it due to the person who got me into this game being from there. Mateus is neither better (let alone "WAY BETTER") nor worse. It is different.Â
Let's stop this ridiculous server rivalry trend. Balmung needs Mateus or when it opens again people will flood their server and they'll be right back to the issues they're having now. Mateus needs Balmung if it has any hope of ever having plentiful, varied events and FCs -- though I understand some people would prefer to be an oh-so-exclusively sandbox, but well, I'm not talking to those sorts. I'm afraid you'll just have to learn to share.
The focus should be "Welcome to Mateus!" not "lol Balmung suxorz amirite?"Â
To anyone reading this from Balmung who is now concerned about joining us, this is not the prevailing attitude at all. I and many others welcome all of you and have nothing but respect for your server.
I agree. This is very, very derisive. This sort of talk needs to stop. It causes issues in every game; WRAxMG issue is one of the worst I've ever seen it. And people on the RPC are trying very hard to quash this sort of mentality. Because it does no one -any- good. It causes arguments constantly. Everyone who I know who is on Mateus is trying very hard to stop this sort of "we're better than Balmung", "Balmung is a terrible place". This only creates divide in a game that really does not need it's RP community severed... Again.
I have friends who I really cherish who are on Mateus; but they've shifted because of reasons or they're PVERs. Some were Balmung individuals themselves who worked very hard to help Mateus be where it is today. I'm not going to lie; seeing things like this does bother me and it does hurt. I'm someone who was on Balmung since 1.0 as it was Besaid. I have IRL friends who are PVERs I don't want to leave; I have long term friends on Balmung who are RPers. And being villain-ized or treated as "Icky Balmungers" is really... REALLY tiresome. As for ERPers; so what? That's their business as long as they're doing it privately.
And saying "I've had a bad time on Balmung therefore it's generally bad" does not help either. Do you honestly think that everything on Mateus will be devoid of the issues you're talking about? It will have these same issues; every community has these issues no matter which game or which sever you go to.
