I'm new, don't let my join date fool you. I quit FFXIV shortly after it's release and vowed never to touch it again. But here I am.
My old 1.0 characters are very low level.. the highest is 17, so ditching them wasn't even going to be an issue for me. The reason my guild decided to go back to Balmung was this:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/th...-thank-you
http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/th...ere-You-At
and then stuff like this confirmed it
http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/th...ng-players.
These are on the Beta forums and they are EXTREMELY welcoming and positive and the last one even list RPers as a good thing to have on the server.
Let's take a look at Gilgamesh's thread shall we?
http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/th...-RP-server.
It's a lot more negative.
THat's it. It just seems like Balmung want us there and Gilgamesh does not. I had chosen Balmung as our go to server long before Gilgamesh was an issue, but Gilgamesh's growing pains make me cringe internally. Especially with how crowded it's going to be (NEOgaf, GameFAQs, and Blue Gartr are all apparently rolling there as well.
Oh, and we're a guild who does endgame and RPs, just to clear up that misconception. We were once top 20 in WoW on our server. We love endgame, endgame is fun.
~~~~
But just to stake something that should probably be obvious:
Thats why I, ME, not you, chose Balmung and I do not expect anyone else to follow my lead (Unless they are my guild, muhaha).
I have been on the Gilgamesh-ers side this whole time, even when I bring up concerns I'm still on their side. They may see it as an attack, but at the end of the day I just want them to succeed. Does it suck that they want to go off to another server? Yes. But it happens. On TOR, the RPers were split and ended up going to Lord Addraas and Ebon Hawke (Eventually they merged) and at the end of the day, it didn't matter. We all played in our own little corner and it was fine (The big difference being, of course, that both of those are designated rp servers so both their populations were bigger, but that's neither here nor there). It will be fine here as well.
The only thing that bugs me is the animosity that has happened. But that is another discussion
