Don't believe me?
Say hello to the New Warriors
Â
New Warriors... BAD BAD example. Â BAD. Â ~shakes head~ Â they ended up killing thousands and caused a civil war between heroes.
I'd also like to add that I've seen in your reddit topics posted absolutely NO reference to Balmung being an RP server. Â Basically making it seem that if you want RP, the ~ONLY~ spot to go is Gilgamesh.
Also @Selsix  that bus was here for three years.  People chose not to get on it.  Please stop considering us at terrible people from putting time effort and care into the community just because this game is getting a revamp.  We stuck around during the time when others did not and worked hard to create a community.  I'd rather not see it kicked to the side because people think we're horrible for you know, actually PLAYING the game.  In three years from now take a moment to look at yourself and think, hey we established a great RP community on Gilgamesh.  What if someone came onto our section of the forums, bad mouthed us for playing three years and refused to play with us because of that.

Its a well known fact that much of Reddit is going to Gilgamesh aleady, so should I encourage them to leave their main group to go to Balmung? Not to mention there are mentions to this very site right on those links, this very site that you can see Balmung plastered in many mentions as the place to go. So please lets cut that out please. I came in and told them hey there will be roleplaying on Gilgamesh if you guys are interested. Not because I am anti Balmung but because -many times- people here have said they do not want to roleplay with the Redditers around due to trolling and that is the reason why they are going to Balmung. So why would I guide them to a place where many here may not like them due to their Reddit affiliations? Surely you've seen these mentions. This very thread was started because of that concern. I seriously doubt that you haven't seen them. That is my -only- reason for mentioning roleplaying on Gilgamesh. If I really wanted to just push Gilgamesh as -the- only option I could just set up a website just for Gilgamesh roleplay and send them there.
Â
I can gladly repost some of my posts asking for people to be nicer to them instead of stereotyping them here if you'd like.

Its no different than telling someone from an LGBT community to head to a place that people may be hostile to them if they found out that they were part of an LGBT group. Why would I do that? One of your issues is the fact of splitting the rp community right? Isn't it a bit pot meets kettle to suggest that another community be split (especially to go to another place where ONCE again many have stated right here in this very thread that they would like to avoid them) from their original group?
Â
I point to that poll again that's been circling the net that originated there. Most Redditers as we know are going to Gilgamesh. So, because of that many may be torn in leaving their community to go to Balmung. I came into the thread and said "hey, there will be rp on Gilgamesh if you guys are interested". And this is after someone gave the link to this site. So trust me I am sure many of them know that Balmung is there. And nothing is stopping you from going there to mention Balmung as a place to go.
Â
But please don't assume. Once again I mention that I have friends going to Balmung,once again I mention that Balmung was my original server choice. Nobody is here to stop people from going to Balmung. But I am not going to tell someone to willingly walk into what may be a hostile environment either. Oh look someone had to hide their Reddit affiliation due to people contantly throwing them into the pot of trollish community status. (that sounds like a group in real life- whoa) You want to make it better? Then come in threads like these and remind those that are concerned by players from Reddit to not put everyone in the same boat because they have roleplayers too, let it be known that Redditers, 4chan and whoever else will be just as welcome on Balmung if they want to roleplay no matter who they are affiliated with. That should be your goal honestly.
Â
No different from not putting all legacy players in the same boat either right?
Â
Damn that pot meets kettle thing again!!Â
