I was -briefly- a part of Driftwood. When I first got involved with the guild, it was really fun. I met a lot of the members in the Goblet and was looking forward to making new friends. But as time went on, stuff which I can only assume to be drama started happening within the guild and people, some of whom I had been RPing with just a few days before, started randomly leaving. It was kinda...disheartening. Especially when I was out of the loop like that. I wanted to know what was wrong so I could see if I could do anything to help, but every time I tried to confront someone about it, they beat around the bush and left me with more questions than answers.
I don't really mean to be calling anyone out here. I enjoyed my time in Driftwood, but I personally think the guild could have lasted if there was better communication. By the seven hells, I didn't even know the guild was closing down on the 16th until I logged in to the game a day before. I wasn't the most active guild member, I know that. It turned out more tough than I imagined to balance playing with my RL friends (who only want to run dungeons and stuff) and RPing.
It was sad to see it go. I tried sticking with the RP scene for the past few days, but the community is pretty much dead especially with guilds like Wayward Star going to Balmung. All that remains are very closed off cliques. If you ask me, I say go for Balmung instead of Gilgamesh at this point if you want to center your playtime around RP. Otherwise, Gilgamesh may provide a better casual RP atmosphere, but it is "EX mode" to get into the community now. The last few events posted on the Gilgamesh board weren't even really RP events but a PVE guild trying to recruit people into their rosters.
