*keeps the Magic Admin Hat on*
Just a note on this: if someone is feeling that there was bias or an attempt to make people feel unwelcome with my proposal to merge the Events and Directory forums for the two servers, that wasn't at all my intention. I just figured that, with our thread tag system, we could reduce the number of forums while still letting people quickly filter posts by server, and that it'd help remove barriers (since we'd all be One Big Community). However, the poll indicated that the majority of voters would prefer to keep the forums separate, so that's what I did. I certainly hope no one took offense at the proposal or how the poll turned out, and if they did, I apologize.
That said, if you feel that there are posts that express an anti-Gilgamesh bias (or an anti-Balmung bias), feel free to report them and we'll review. To be honest, I suspect the feeling among some Gilgamesh RPers is historical and rumour based, and perhaps related to the fact that all of the forum staff play on Balmung. There's nothing I can do about either of these other than to say that we support RP on both servers, that Gilgamesh players are welcome here, and that there's no Secret RPC Cabal trying to steal players for Balmung or anything like that. (Well, maybe there is, but I'm Not An RP Event and Not A Big Name, so I don't get invited to those meetings. I'm definitely not one of the Cool Kids in the Balmung RP Scene.)
As a final note, please, please cool down on the personal attacks. It's been so long since I had to lock a thread.
Also, TheLastCandle speaks the truth. Mysterium, for instance, grows slowly because our concept is so specific. Many characters don't fit.

If you see posts that make it seem like Balmung players don't want you here, let someone know! Go now! Look back for posts that made you think that and show a mod! They can't fix what they don't know is a problem. This website is for both communities and if anyone on the RPC is making you Gilgameshers feel unwelcome, then we should strive to fix it.
