"What is with you Balmung RPers and being so entitled? There's a pretty healthy RP communnity on Mateus and no one reacts like this. (But please, don't come to Mateus we don't want you here) "

Cuz ... as someone who's been in very small rp communities before, once that kind of us vs them attitude starts to grow, it can be extremely difficult for new ideas to take root, and for new kinds of rpers to get settled in if what they want to write goes against the status quo. Â Coming into a tight knit rp community can be hard enough without actual resistance growing there before people actually move in.
I will state this, I am aware of them. I have already said my peace to them (I'm Koti on the SE Forums). They are not the RPC and they are not at all the face of most of the community on Mateus.
I don't know who they are, but when I was shown this by one of the members on the RPC, I was quick to reply. Sadly the SE Forums can be a very toxic place that speak very ill of a community.
Is that what started it all...
Gods.... I feel like bring out my rocking chair now with my cane and going "I remember back in 1.0 on Besaid... We didn't worry about no fuddle duddle RP tags. If you were looking for RP, you just had to go searching for it... with the lag and sometimes zones trying to eat your computer. Mmhm." XD
That, and the official forum's general populace posting has always been a "Balmung's issues are created by Balmung itself." No matter if people were there because of the Besaid merger etc.
Just don't let the official forums' posters represent a sample of who you will see in-game. They're just another example of a vocal minority.
Does Mateus' RP community have any representation on tumblr? Or Faerie's? Other's? I know Balmung's RP community is barely represented in part by those here on RPC (hydaelyn roleplayers coalition, this site here). I know there's a sizeable portion of Balmung roleplayers on tumblr.
Would it be possible to gather some of those communities to come and speak about themselves here?
My knowledge, given I created the RPC, we are here on Hydaelyn forums and we have a discord. That is the scope of US. I don't really do social medias and I hate facebook. When we spoke about doing a facebook, it was discouraged by the community early on because we have Discord.
Discord is our major HUB for-- everything.
