I want you guys to think about this from the legacy members point of view for a moment.

You have a character you built since the dawn of the game. You've built a community of dedicated role-players on this server.

Now, SquareEnix closes down the game, because, frankly, it mechanically sucked.  It completely rebuilt the game.  It has a lot of buzz and new players coming into the game.  But then, SquareEnix decided to institute a "legacy" system to reward the players for their dedication to the original game.  They also listened to the new players, who feel intimidated by the experienced players.  They want a "fresh start."

So, a group of players wants to have a RP community on a non-legacy server so they can have this fresh start.  But by doing that, they have to split the community into two factions, albeit unintended.  The legacy members have no choice in this matter without losing their characters and hard work.  Their characters are stuck on Balmung for at least 6 months, even if they wanted to leave.  

So is splitting and diluting the community worth it for these players "fresh start?"  I really don't think it is.  The role-playing community may seem large, and can support more then one server, but I really don't think it is.  There are so many benefits to having us all under one roof, and only selfish reasons to support a "fresh start" for the other players.

To respond specifically to the OP's request to stifle the debate about the splitting of the community, I'd have to wholeheartedly say no.  I haven't seen any evidence of uncivil discourse or disrespect.  We should be free to express our opinions (respectfully and civilly) that splitting the community is a bad idea.  I think it's understandable that some members are upset about this idea.  Unwittingly or not, people will be poaching members for the Gilgamesh community.

Also, I'm not a legacy member.  I have a level 3 thaumaturge I briefly played when the game came out.  I will be starting out fresh on Balmung.  I'll have a great community to help me grow as a character and as a player.  I won't have to deal with low-supply, high demand prices on the new server.

You're free to play on Gilgamesh.  But I don't have to respect your choice, and I'm free to disagree with it, and be vocal with my disapproval of the community split. But I won't be uncivil or discourteous with you.  I won't try to stifle debate, and I'd appreciate if you'd do the same.  That is how I want to be treated.
