I don't know if it helps, but we've kept links through the Coalition/Adventurers Guild LS groups and through different RP events, showcased our RP, invited people into our OOC LS group, been inclusive and invited people to RP on a fairly regular basis, building arcs with people, not just in the FC and it's by these links that we've attracted people into wanting to join, so when a person does move on, it's not a big hit and we can keep a comfortable flow of members. Because FC members comes first and get more of a say in how we do things, so they do gain something by being a part of the FC and get to feel a part of the crew.
To be honest, I've got not one single clue what your FC is either. Funny how that works! It tends to be hard to keep track of the small, minor upstart Companies when as a whole, the community is more interested in the fast reward and fix of jumping ship, then putting work into the issues and problems that need work.
Fact of the matter is, Gilgamesh has been all but abandoned by the bulk of the RP community and left to sink or swim for the popularity and ease of the big, new and shiny community of Balmung.Â
You want to call Balmung the New York and Gilgamesh a small country town.. you go ahead and do that if it makes you feel better. I'll look at it for what it is.
Gilgamesh is a ship in distress and Balmung is the closest land. Now what do rats do in situations like that I wonder? Doesn't matter what the distress is... could be caught on a sand bar in low tide.. could be a pin hole in the hull leaking water.. The rats will abandon ship and swim for shore because that is the easier thing to do, that's the only way they know of to ensure their survival. Meanwhile, the true sea dogs are left behind, short handed now, to try and not only discover the problem, but try and fix it.
Take from that what you will.. but that is my opinion and my view on current matters.
From the way a lot of people here have been talking.. I'm surprised that the suggestion to petition Square to shut down Gilgamesh hasn't popped up yet. I mean why not?... according to everyone who jumped ship, the community is dead over here and not worth the effort or work to try and salvage or fix!
