I never reply here. I hate typing to mass groups like this but this is the dumbest argument I have ever seen. There's literally not one valid point made by anyone and it's turned into a demand that Balmung be the one RP hub. YOU WILL TAKE OUR RP AND LIKE IT! While I enjoy Balmung enough I'm certainly glad there are other servers with rp communities. Balmung is great for mass events like the Grindstone but damn it's nice to go to a smaller server for lighter stuff.
If you really want to identify one server as the RP HUB then use one of the newer servers they talked about offering transfers too and everyone agree on a specific one but I'm sure those will fill up fairly quickly with people from Balmung and Gligamesh since they are offering gil, game time etc etc to do it.
You presuppose the state of FFXIV if Balmung did not exist and there was no centralized RP hub. If there were no such hub, FFXIV roleplay would either be dead, minute in scale, or based entirely around isolated 20-40 person cliques.Â
There are dearths of "lighter stuff" that gets RPed on Balmung every day. The same can't be said for smaller servers. Balmung is already the RP hub, and it should continue being that hub until SE designated an official RP server.
If there wasn't a Balmung there would be another server just like it. Balmung isn't even primarily rpers itself. It's just the largest server and with the RPC being focused here of course it's going to have the majority of rpers. Asking for an official rp server is fine and dandy. Stating actual points for Balmung being central is fine. Belittling the other rp communities in the rants for why Balmung is so great isn't. I'm curious to how many people have been moving from Balmung to these other servers. If my latency doesn't settle back to what it was I might even consider it myself. I can't imagine what it's like for the EU players, especially NIN trying to cast mudras.
