It tells me Reddit's a popular site and that there's no big central gaming roleplaying site because roleplay sites are always fragmented between their various gaming communities.
Of course, there's always the third option that everyone compromises and the 1.0 players utilize the upcoming transfer service and the Gilgameshers give up Gilgamesh and we all move to a new, neutral server and all the roleplayers roleplay together like a big roleplaying coalition and we all roleplay happily ever after... well, really until someone starts the next drama war, but whatever. Details.
Actually nevermind, that'd probably cost the 1.0 players to all pay money, so no one will go for that. Carry on.

We've already pulled quite a few members into our community from Reddit - and as for Blue Gartr, the only complaint I ever see made regarding them relates them being top progression dogs and talking smack about it, which is really completely irrelevant to roleplay and successful roleplay events. If they want to burn up all the content and then parade through town yelling about how rad their new gear is, I say, let em' have fun.
We could probably bring a few of them into our community just by cheering them on, in character. I've played the progression game often enough to know how you think when you're into it, and a thumbs-up from your own server community is rare enough to be treasured.
