I think this was very well laid out and (hopefully) not offensive to either "side" as it were. Coming from another non-veteran player, these are a lot of the same feelings I've been having.
I recently decided that I'm going to be starting my own Free Company. Its already going through tweaking and organization, and its going to be a lot of work. But I've always enjoyed being a leader, and honestly I get frustrated when I'm in groups with officers/leaders who don't make things fun and get too serious. So what do I do? I make what I want to see.
So the big question was: What server should I make it on? I was originally pulled to Gilgamesh for reasons you stated, it will be a lot easier to start things fresh and actually get a few people to have fun with me. But the more I thought about it, the more I leaned towards Balmung.
There are going to be some problems, but like you said a lot of them are going to be temporary. Maybe it'll be a little difficult for us to break into something already established, but I believe in the long run its a better foundation. For all I know, my Free Company could be just me for six months. But its what I want to do, and I'm not going to let "What Ifs" stop me from having my brand of fun.
Once the game goes live, I plan on making contact with the veteran groups and facilitating cross-group RP. To me that's a way of integrating old with new. We're all here to have fun, so I for one am going to put my stock in Balmung.
Not to say I fault anyone for choosing Gilgamesh. I ABSOLUTELY see the appeal. Especially as a leader of a little fledgling group of nothing at the moment. I seriously hope the best for every single person on Gilgamesh. I have seen some of their dedication for their server, and its something to be admired.
So coming from a non-legacy player: I'm going to be on Balmung.
I hope you and the others with you find the place for you. You sound like an awesome person, and probably pretty fun to play with. Best of luck on making the decision for you.
