I don't understand the necessity from an RP community standpoint to have split servers. I always thought that in an MMO, maximum exposure for RP was preferred which meant having the most people possible on your server to RP with.
I've seen some people say that they want to join Gilgamesh so they can do things themselves that have already been done on Balmung, and that makes very little sense to me. The one example that comes to mind was someone talking about wanting to run a tavern, but fearing the competition because there were already established tavern rps on Balmung. Why not just join one of those taverns if it's that big of a concern? Or just make one anyways and try to do something unique with it that will attract members.
If you're more concerned with the server economy, starting fresh when others are max level, or not being the first person to beat content than you are about RP... I have to ask, why are you even here then? That sounds mean, but it's an honest question. This is an RP community, and at one point it was a single, unified community where people could play together. Now it's not unified at all, and I can see a lot of resentment on both sides over something so trivial. Several months from now any new players to the game and the community will only really have which name they like more to help decide which server to join because they'll both be exactly the same. Why not just skip all the growing pains, if you're really that concerned over how well Gilgamesh will fare, and just stick to original server and enjoy the RP.
