Still, after learning about 4chan and Reddit making their home Gilgamesh I would never get involved with it sadly, I see too much risk of griefing and people making themselves into nuisances (not to say it won't happen on Balmung, just not as likely to happen). I could only imagine it would get even worse if SE dubbed it the official server.
Ypu'll always see greifing in the traditional sense, regardless of server.
Here was us on 1.0, on Besaid, minding our own business and roleplaying and the first day we were griefed by some guy who said RP was gay. That's gonna happen everywhere.
But SA was smart.
On Aion they stole the names of people on their server, and stole their guild names, holding them for ransom. Technically not against any rules. You just weren't fast enough.
On WoW SA created an "RP" guild called the Freelance Police, staying completely in character, as police officers, they went to high traffic RP events and... you can probably guess how they messed that up. They even had people on that server convinced they ERP'd, all the the laughs.
GoonSquad, another WoW guild and the biggest one at around 1000 members, did a lot of greifing, so much so WoW devs had to change some of the code itself to keep them from doing any further damage (For instance: they once held the Southshore Griffon master hostage for 48 hours. You cannot do this anymore because of them XD)
I don't want to get into what they did on EvE.
None of it against any kind of rules. And SA is considered small fried compared to Reddit and 4chan. Of course, there are people on SA who want to roleplay, I'm on there after all, but most of them want to cause havoc and have fun.
(Luckily for you, Goons are rolling on Excalibur
