The thing is though, I see people screaming "YOU need to invest in this." That is absurd. Yes, people are willingly to help, but let's be very realistic here. We like Balmung for what it is. Lots of people struggle to roleplay alts. Have no interests in creating alts.
Instead of sitting on some high horse going "YOU NEED TO BECOME A PART OF THAT COMMUNITY. YOU BUNCH OF PRICKS REEEE." you could also go: "Hey this sucks, but if you are capable? Please make an alt to join in RP on the other server! If not? At least please tell people about Mateus (for example) as an alternative?"
I honestly have no desire to make another alt at this point, invest into it and all that. I like where I am (fuck me right for admitting that). But I want others, new players, and old alike interested in roleplay, to have a chance at that same comfort Balmung provides.
Yes there are people who enjoy smaller roleplay communities. But this is a choice they've made in the past. New people? They don't have that choice. That is what gets me.
But I will point new roleplayers towards other servers, and continue to try to make SE aware that us roleplayers do want Balmung reopened for various reasons, provided their temporary lock isn't so temporary.
But I'm totally going to redirect people to Mateus (as that seems to be the one with a small community compared to the rest) for the time being while continuing to stress that fact we can't have Balmung locked for months and months on end.
