I can see where Aeonic's opinion is coming from because it is true that one can feel completely left out by the senior communities that were established from 1.0 and might have that awkward space or don't care about new players joining. Sometimes even in RP, the old communities would be like "uh, that's now how we RP" to the new players and they'd correct them but it also might be something REAALLLLY hard to get used to.
Tera's RP community was just horrible. They accepted members but they didn't care to look at you because you are new to their "group circle". Also the environments in the game were never made to be roleplaying based like WoW, so it is nearly impossible to get the full potential to have fun ICly.Â
It's matter of people's choice. Let's say that I go to Balmung, and there are no Linkshells that will welcome me since all the senior communities want only the "old members" that they RPed with. Then what? Where would I belong in the community? Would I make a new Linkshell and have people join mine? Then what if these people who joined my Linkshell go off and say "I want to join the senior Linkshell community because they seem to have fun more than this and also their community is well built since 1.0"?Â
So with that aside, Balmung can't be really looked up as a "good server community". I mean, it's a server for those who played 1.0 don't want to start from scratch again. (No offense intended). So it'll make a lot of new players feel left out by the senior communities.
