The discussion had gotten pretty popular on another thread but I think that thread wasn't meant for such a discussion to get that big. If I'm wrong then feel free to simply ignore/lock/and or remove this topic should any mod see fit to do so~
Now then we all have our opinions on this matter and many of us have shared those opinions already but lets just take a step back and look at these two server types objectively for a moment and see what's really different about them.
First off we have the name and I'm willing to admit that tagging a server as "Legacy" does sort of make it sound special and for the cool kids. All that tag is really saying though is "Hey! You have a character from 1.0? Cool, you can keep playing that character here."
Next we have the economy. This has been a concern of many people it seems as a few have mentioned that they would rather help shape the economy of a server rather than hop into one that's already established. Now the point I want to make here is that both server types will need to build up their economy. Yes legacy characters will start off with more gil and some items but I think this may just be a kick start to the economy to get it off the ground a tad quicker. Prices are bound to start out high and then hopefully smooth out regardless of what server you're on. I could see low level crafting materials being a bit of an issue on legacy servers but with the changed so gathering and crafting classes I'm hoping that will just sort itself out.
Community. This seems to be where a lot of people have issues so lets just stay calm, take a deep breath, and step back for a moment. RPC is not the only pre-established community out there, just like any other MMO launch people are using the betas and the hype to build up LS/FCs before the game is out. So with that being said cliques and in crowds will have already been formed on just about every server, this also leads in to those who will rush to level cap and dive into endgame. I'm willing to bet that after the first month there won't be much difference between the two servers other than the ability to have continued with your 1.0 character on those with a Legacy tab.
These are just some of the things I've been thinking about the last couple of days while out of town. Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments or to simply move along to another topic. Cheers!
