Adelpha, I am genuinely surprised that you took away what you did from that post. It was intended to capture the excitement of starting anew. I am beginning to think that post was badly written, in particular, how I phrased the legacy whoppers bit. That was directed at achievement oriented gamers who want to race to 50 on a fresh server, but the grammar is unclear. It almost looks like I was implying that would affect roleplay quality in some way, which is absurd.
Yet, I need to say:
There is nothing in that post that was intended as an attack on Balmung. You are filling in blanks I left blank because they are blank. Some other server is any server someone is dissatisfied with. Probably the worst thing I said about Balmung is that it has a pecking order. It does. That's a benefit to the kind of people who want to start out on Balmung - the kind of people who want a strong established community with well-understood rules and self-policies.  It's a detriment to people who want an unformed and uncertain environment and the opportunity to shape the community they are in. Both of these attitudes are "right", in their own, way, and neither of them are wrong.
Every new player who decides to move to Balmung, I think, is making a decision they will be satisfied with, and it will be a good decision. Balmung is a good server, with a strong, established community. I have said this very thing in that same thread you've lifted my statements from, and I stand by them.
