So, I found a post by the people who own an entire ward on Mateus in defense of their choice.

I've reblogged and written my own thoughts on this issue. I too am an old Mateus player and understand their anger at how Balmung effects all the other servers. I also get that the Mateus RP community invited the new players with open arms. But what about everyone else on the server? All the Old Mateus players who weren't RPers? Because, honestly, until RP blew up on this server, I wasn't that interested in it. Hell, I still don't know how to turn rp tags on or off.
Ultimately, blame should be placed where it belongs. On Squenix and how they choose to mishandle things, not on the newcomers who are just as subject to their bad decision making as old Mateus players.
I actually lost my house to a rule change once (demolishing) that was implemented across the board rather than on servers where it was necessary. There was still plenty of space avaliable, but no gil. Since then, I've been a bit gunshy about buying anything more than an apartment. What if I need to take another extended Hiatus? I can recoup a scrapped Apartment, but not a house.

I have a column/blog written from an IC perspective, be warned, it's probably a little bit too vulgar for RPC - https://graff-lacroix.tumblr.com/
