The only reason I do not want to be a part of the cool-kids-Balmung gang, is simply due to the fact that it is a Legacy server.
I like the idea of ARR being a brand new experience to everyone around me. I like the idea of everyone starting off on even foot and watching the server grow and evolve as time goes on. I like the idea of the economy flourishing from the ground up and server first achievements of any and all kinds being done by people I know were not given the 'headstart' the Legacy gang did.
That's just me though, as someone who avoided the trainwreck that was 1.0.
I like to think of it as a brand new game, and just feel more at ease starting on a server that suggests the same.
I know Legacy servers have benefits, but it's just not for me, I guess.
That's why I was hoping for a solid non-Legacy alternative for roleplaying.
Just as a note, even the non-legacy servers will have people with characters built up from Phase 4 and the pre-order early access.
I understand the sentiment, but just a cautionary note that new servers have  unstable economies (not that thats always a bad thing) as well as rocky server populations. I myself have used this to my advantage in the past on EQ and WoW, but gaming the economy is not my thing anymore.
I myself will have a Balmung and then one on what ever server my non-RP friends decide to roll on as well.
Either way, best of luck in Eorzea
Oh, trust me. I've been playing MMO's long enough to understand.
In all reality, Phase 4 and Pre-Order is the launch of ARR in my eyes, and for most people who see this MMO as their Golden Goose for the present and future.
Also, server economies on new servers usually are bonkers to start, but they level out. The thing about it is that everyone is starting on level footing where on Legacy servers, you'll have the higher leveled masses using their advantage to control the market due to their ability to farm and banked gains from 1.0.Â
There will be economic problems on both sets of servers, I just prefer one over the other.
