I'm quite certain that Gilgamesh will, which is why I wrote this with Gilgamesh in mind. Â And I stand by every single one of my statements as both tactful and necessary in the coming environment. Â If you don't believe that, that's all right. Â You don't need to, if you won't be playing primarily on Gilgamesh.
If you will be playing on Gilgamesh, and you don't like what you've read here, I implore you, give it a week, or a month, and then read this again. Â This document might suddenly make a great of sense, particularly after you've encountered the variety of troll that has hitherto been unwilling to play FF14. Â
There's a certain psychological profile - selfish, vain, impatient, mostly - that couldn't stomach 1.0 longer than a week. Â This kind of person has been responsible for the perpetual souring of roleplay communities in certain other popular MMO's. Â These people are going to enjoy 2.0, and when they crash RP's, they are both organized and persistent in a way that, if you haven't been in TERA or WoW or the like lately, will shock you.
If you simply cannot believe this stormy forecast, you need to merely glance at the open beta thread in sig. Â That is the "lowest common denominator" of Gilgamesh, and if we do not immediately improve the perceptions those very people have of us, the Gilgamesh RP community will find itself adrift in foul waters.
