So the cons of having a third "official" RP server are that people are afraid it will splinter the community further, and it may turn out low pop.
But the pros are that if picking the right server, you'll only have RP attached to it, most likely driving up the raw percentage of roleplayers you encounter, and it'll allow us to bypass these overpopulation issues that're hurting so many of us and our friends already.
I''m currently level 27 on gilgamesh, not the highest, by far, but not the lowest, but I'm perfectly willing to give it up and roll somewhere else to fix these issues. Not only would we be helping OUR community by finding a third, but we'd be helping Gilgamesh's population woes itself by moving likely quite a few people off the server.
I still like Lamia.
I admit I can understand why some people wouldn't want to reroll now. I can imagine some people might be left behind too, but I'll be keeping an eye out for an update on these even though I can see it being somewhat unlikely that people will choose to move to Lamia.
Although, I'm more against the idea of a third RP server just because of the segregation. Yes, I made it into Balmung but that's probably because i'm an EU player who can log on outside of peak time.
It's just a little bit awkward because I'm a little bit of an outsider already, and I'm not really involved in either community yet - But I really do want to try and meet new, likeminded people here.
And it's not as easy to do that over three different servers. It was hard enough choosing between Balmung and Gilgamesh, and look what happened there x) I wasn't going to alt on Balmung but there we go. On my part though, if people decide to move to another server then I'll probably throw an alt out there too.
Slightly off-topic there.
What I really mean to say is, while we might want to move to another server now, I imagine it won't work as well in the future when the population dies down a little. I worry that people are getting frustrated with the server issues and population buggery and all sorts, and this is the result of it? I know I'd probably be losing my temper and jumping to these conclusions too if my logins weren't going so smoothly.
...Though the errors do seem to be occurring more for PC players rather than the Ps3 ones? Or am I mistaken? I haven't had a single error on the PS3. :/
Hopefully all of that makes sense though, it's not making much sense to me now that I read it over...
