I am in agreement with Ashren, Kaln and others here. In WoW I was in a guild that did both RP and PVE as well as some PVP. We did it all and had no problems managing it. I am not a hardcore raider by any means, but I did a lot of Raid Leading in my guild and we managed to be very successful at it. To me, it's not really a competition to see WHO GETS THROUGH CONTENT FIRST ON THE SERVER, but more of a I want to see all the content in this game, and do it with like-minded people that I enjoy gaming with. I also enjoy the challenge of raiding.
At the same time, our guild had a rich backstory and history, and we had regular super fun RP events on top of regular RPing. Being new to this whole LS/FC business, I intend to seek out a FC that does both RP and PVE (with maybe some PVP too, though not required) on the server. I intend to keep LS for other things, like having a place to chat with my friends when we're all doing different things and aren't in a party together.Â
Maybe it just comes from the sense of community (including making RL friends that I now see regularly outside of gaming) I had with my guild in WoW, but I find it most enriching to create stories with people I see as part of my 'group' as a whole. To each their own, but I have seen PVE/RP guilds done successfully first hand, so that is what I want to find on Balmung.
