Also, when you're talking about the people who are racing to the top, you are talking about a group of people who don't have the time to RP to begin with. Every waking moment they spend with their character consists of bull rushing content with zero regard for any of the flavor text or lore. Besides, you'll still be riding with a wave of people to the top given the game is brand new regardless of server.Uh, who put you in charge of how they play their game?Â
What I mean by that is, let's assume two-hundred ninety-nine out of three hundred Reddit players are there to kill boss, get loot. I have two questions to ask about that assumption, which can't be all that far off from the truth.
Question one is, so? Let em' do what they find fun. The time they spent popping back energy drinks, wiping on bosses, and screaming with rage over teamspeak, is every bit as valid and meaningful as how we spend our time. (You didn't imply it wasn't, it's just something that makes me sound totally cool and balanced to say. ;3)
Question two is, what about that odd one out? Have you been watching this thread closely? Have you seen the link to Reddit dudes interested in RP? Have you seen Rock talk about the Redditers who have contacted him about involving themselves in the community? (Okay, that was quite a few questions. The one at the top of this paragraph is the important one.)
Now, if the people question two regards suddenly realize they don't know the game well enough to write a character, I'll point em' to the wiki. I don't care how they play their game, or if they dedicate a smaller amount of their time to RP than any of us. They can come and go as they like. That kind of attitude, I think, is how we'll win acceptance from that mess of a server.
Edit: whoa fast thread

I suppose it just seems like most of the arguments for Gilgamesh have been arguments against Balmung. When in reality, I have yet to see any of these so-called problems that are apparently exclusive to Balmung roleplayers.I don't think Balmung has any problems. Yet the implication that people might be happier somewhere other than Balmung - such as myself - is rather hard to confront in any way that isn't unpleasant.Â
Yet you can rest assured that, when I think about a new player considering both servers and deciding on Balmung, I think they will be pleased with their decision. Those of us who can't resist the temptation to try to hammer out our own community are going to be just as pleased we decided to do so on Gilgamesh.(barring catastrophic failure, which isn't something I've ruled out).
I think we should all take a step back and consider that maybe both choices are immediately good for the kind of persons who make them, and that this can be true without any fundamental problems on either side of things. Not everyone likes Apple pie, even if it's perfectly baked.
