Auralily

I understand that apprehension, it's why I never got into RP too much in any game the past two years unless I was starting with the game. But to say Balmung may not be a good server because you think 1.0 players will shut everyone out doesnt seem plausible. As a 1.0 player myself I'm bringing 4 players in and going to help 2 others that know are just starting. It's part of the reason why I'm starting over. The 50blm I will swap to if anyone needs help and I'm not busy. Well essentially we all are starting a new game. Tell me how it would be better to start on a fresh server? If all new RPers join Balmung, than we, by your theory, have two RP communities that can at least make walk up RP more common. By dividing the community we immediately rule out any chance of new players getting to know older players, on a "What if..." Theory. I think the RP community will work out great. I have complete confidence I will find a place, even though I'm new to the community. Everyone has been quite welcoming and friendly thus far. If any 1.0 players disagree with this, and would intentionally shut out new players, I'd like to hear from them, just to know they exist.

I don't understand all the concern. Is it not best to have a united RP community on one server? So many new players will be starting, older players recreating a character, leveling the new and improved jobs, or level syncing down to see the new world while helping other players. The Final Fantasy MMO's (FFXI, FFXIV 1.0, and FFXIV:ARR Beta) have all had some of the best MMO communities I've ever seen. If you're afraid a 1.0 character won't carry you and explain things that are already explained in the tutorials people tend to disable, that should not be a shock. But the fact of the matter is there are plenty of people who will explain anyway. I know I am one of them. ARR is a new game for new and old players. If you didn't play 1.0 the amount of changes are incredible. We all will be learning and relearning, and I would like to think we should all do it on Balmung, together. Server que times may exist for the first month or two, but it'll improve as people stop playing or move servers, which always happens. On a different note, for this rant obviously wasn't long enough! :3 I am new to the RP community here. When 1.0 launched I didn't even know what RP was, heh. Can't wait to play and RP! I applied to move my 50BLM lalafell to Balmung, but I will be restarting as a Miqo'te with a few IC siblings.
