Actually from what we've seen, most of the newcomers to the RPC seem fine with rolling on Balmung, so I don't think it's really a matter of new players vs legacy players, but a matter of whether or not the people who want to roll on a new server outnumber the people who want to roll on Balmung.
And yes, we do want to do anything in our power to help the community grow and flourish, but attempting to force everyone to abandon their 1.0 characters would utterly destroy this community. Besides, after some time, there will no longer be any functional difference between joining a new server or a legacy server.

A linkshell isn't anything particularly special in-game, no, but we call the separate RP groups here linkshells because generally speaking they all use them as a primary means of speaking to each other in character.
