Well since you asked ... you don't get opinions much more outside than mine, being a recent arrival to Besaid and someone who hasn't read the RPC forums since 2010.
Firstly, while on the hunt for an RP LS I spent quite a while checking out your website. I have a really particular type of guild that I usual join/create, one that is heavy RP, lore bound, plot driven but still focused on excelling at the game. I much, much prefer quality over quantity and in an in-depth application process. I like a guild that knows what sort of people they want, and aren't willing to compromise that just for the sake of numbers. Given that, your LS really has seemed pretty perfect from my view point.
When I asked a few friends who are long time Besaid residences, the feedback I heard on Everwatch initially is that you can be "RP elitists". This actually was the opposite of off putting for me, as guilds I've ran in to in the past have been called that as well. Having standards, insisting that people play within the world they're given rather than above it is a quick way to gain that reputation, so I never put much stock accusations like that.
However, what kept me from applying was that more than one friend warned me of the level of ERP in Everwatch, going so far as to say it's "worn like a badge". Whatever truth there may be to that, having that reputation is off putting, especially in a game like this where it seems more prevalent than other games. I'm all for adult, mature roleplay. I did play a Druchii extensively in WAR, after all. But prevalent focus on sex just for the sake of it puts a bad taste in my mouth, and is a stereotype of roleplayers I do my best to avoid propagating. So that warning from active members of the server community, plus the amount of romance drama in journals and such made me wary enough not to apply.
