It was based on assumption... an assumption no one has the facts to backup until launch. Now this isn't some attack at you, far from it, you just happened to bring an example to the thread for me.
First, the line about the smaller pool of overall RPers on Gilgamesh was relevent to MrHeat's query. Â It wasn't like I was willfully targeting a Gilgamesh thread and taunting or anything like that - which is feeling to me what is being implied. Â I invite you to re-read posts #20, #21, and #22 on the thread itself to read over this within the scope of context as it applies.
Moreover, there's no assumption here - at least not for my part. Â People have stated in no uncertain terms upon which server they'll be playing. Â Look at the polls. Â This is fact. Â The assumptions I see being made are by the OP in that people in support of Balmung are somehow berating those who've opted for Gilgamesh. Â I would be interested to see the specific examples that prompted this thread's creation, since it appears to be more than just mine. Â I'm fairly certain in each and every case there was no intent to "lord our superior population size" over the smaller community, as is being suggested.
I think you've gotten me wrong here. I said originally I wasn't targeting you but rather using your post as an example since it had been brought up in the thread. I certainly do not believe anyone is lording over anyone else.
My point was, and remains, that since we did an official vote... Both servers should be seen as equal and comments about the size of the community on either server should neither be used as a positive or negative.
However the poll (on what people are choosing to play on, not the server vote poll) wasn't by the majority of numbers on these forums but rather the vocal few. The numbers as can be seen in the registration. Statistics show a bulge in new guys since ARR testing began. Additionally that doesn't include those who want a fresh start. My point was rather that while you old legacy players may believe you hold the majority of numbers here that isn't the case, there is more "new" people off the back of 2.0 as such.. You can't assume that the majority of people on here are going to balmung just because ye ole legacy players voted in a poll that everyone else didn't. It is a assumption as you don't have clear evidence of every members choice.
