I'm pretty sure some of these legacy players are more than capable of that.Â

I shake my head now for in the future a year or so from here a player will come come on here and say something about how they wish they and their friends would have been here at launch because they just joined the non legacy rp server and every one was already in rp groups and they were way behind on gil gear and levels. Â And the response will be well you gotta adjust forÂ
The community. Â Irony.....I shake my head now to save time later..... |

We don't want match.com meet ups we want drunk hook ups with like minded strangers at name your watering hole. I don't get this at all. Meeting people is meeting people. Sometimes they are in a group, sometimes they aren't. Does this mean that if a group of friends or a couple join the same "new" sever as you you won't play with them either because they already know each other? We hear this all the time, "My friends and I want to start on a new server". Isn't that the same thing in the end in regards to groups that already know each other? Wouldn't that then mean that other new players won't want to play with your group of friends since you already know each other? (The general you) Often times guilds are formed and started well before a new games launches. A lot of new ones are starting now on this very forum alongside older ones. When a new player starts the game on launch day there are already a bunch of guilds already established. You can't start on a server where no one knows each other at all. It's just not possible. And I just find it all the more ironic how many (not necessarily the person I commented) complaining about Balmung and its already established groups are coming from people that themselves are "a group a friends". To me this is just simply a fear that "I won't be accepted with the cool kids" or that they want to start on an equal footing, IE for competitive reasons, which I can understand to a degree, but everyone levels at a different pace anyway, so it's sort of a moot point in the long run. (again this is in general to those complaining about starting on an established RP server, not specifically to the commented post above) Like others have said, a new server isn't going to be open each time new players join the game, and if new players are truly role-players and want that immersion then they should go where the majority of their fellows are. Just as in real life, there will be people more experienced than you and groups and bonds already formed. Work with that into your character story. Just my opinion... |

........I have no levels higher than 25.....
I am in a link shell with 6 non legacy players that I founded..... Â I mentor 2 people on the site.... I was making the point that someday you too will be in the same place we are and despite saying we will welcome and help you become part of the community a new player will present the argument that they are too far behind to catch up so there is no point to try..... All you will have left to say is what some of are doing....pleading you to try it and not break up the community.... It was meant to show the irony...not inflame.... Dee Snyder once said at the PMRC hearings in the late 80s to paraphrase...'if you go looking for something in someone's words you will find it without first knowing the true meaning they were expressing.'. I ment only to convey how it is now and how it will be for everyone no matter the server.... That is all.. All the best to all in whatever they choose to do. Konner |

I prefer uncharted territory and it's not rocket science that people who are legacy are pc even if they are now playing ps3 version which means they tend to be more mmorpg veteran than your average console gamer branching out into mmorpg territory for the first time. It is a fact a non legacy server will have more new players than vets. You can attempt to spin it any way you want. We don't want a legacy server bottom line. Enjoy your legacy server we will make a community on non legacy server. (06-29-2013, 05:32 PM)faceman7381 Wrote: ........I have no levels higher than 25..... Fair enough.

Haha, actually I don't like country music either, but I'm not going to argue with your attitude. That's why I'm done. The rest of your remarks couldn't be more off the mark in my case, but keep on making assumptions, I'm sure you'll make a lot of new friends that way on your new server.

I know I'm new here, and maybe I'm missing something; but I don't understand why any of this is an issue to anyone.
If you want to play on a new server, go play there. If you want to post about the RP going on there, and offer people an alternative, go do it. The idea that a community has to choose whether or not to "support" another server is kind of... strange. The RPC here is not the "Balmung RP community" or the "Non-Legacy RP community". According to the logo at the top of my screen it's Hydaelyn Roleplayers Coalition... meaning all of them; combined. If 10 people decide they want to go play on Goblin or some other server... then who cares? Wouldn't they be just as free to post about the fun they're having here as the folks on Balmung? If you have new players asking "where all the roleplayers at?!", then you tell them about the various servers. Hell, you could even have a sticky about it. It's not difficult to have a thread were people can post about the different groups on different servers. "Many people play on Balmung, but there's also a growing community on server X! Server Y has a small community, with a specific plot they're going for. Visit this thread if you want to know more about it." I understand that it may become more difficult for people on the new server(s) to have events... but that's up them to take up the reigns and lead the charge then. If the people on other servers don't want to... well that's their own problem then, isn't it? It's also not like you won't have some people that decide to play on both! In my mind, the arguing about servers is more likely to split the community than help it. You're going to have people feeling put out regardless of the decision that's made. I think it would be better for everyone, as a whole, if the community of this site was dedicated to FFXIV Roleplaying; anywhere and everywhere it's taking place. My life is a chip in your pile. Ante up!

I don't believe that I've never told anyone that they cannot have an opinion of their own. I might not be able to completely understand your opinion, and I might even think it's not very well thought out, but your opinions are yours to have.
And if it's the elitist "top tier gear only" crowd you're really worried about, I guarantee the new servers have them within a month. You're not going to get rid of them completely, even on a server that has a lot of console players on it. Besides, unless they've got a 1.0 character that they're really invested in, I can't imagine them passing up the opportunity to play PVP on a server made up mostly of console players (whom they might feel are inferior, and easy to win against). That's just my take on it, though. I'm just saying that, considering the nature of MMO's you shouldn't get your hopes up about having a server with very few elitist jerks, legacy or not. |
