As fresh Mateus native I personally appreciate any effort to promote the server because more RP for everyone means more RP for me, but this is not the attitude we should be presenting, much less on forums that are so heavily tilted in Balmung's favor at present. Many people who have been helping us here are from Balmung, or are Balmung people rolling alts, or they've moved / will move entirely but still understandably have a soft spot for their original server.
Really, people, stop saying things like this. While I've never played on Balmung, I have seen a lot of it due to the person who got me into this game being from there. Mateus is neither better (let alone "WAY BETTER") nor worse. It is different.Â
Let's stop this ridiculous server rivalry trend. Balmung needs Mateus or when it opens again people will flood their server and they'll be right back to the issues they're having now. Mateus needs Balmung if it has any hope of ever having plentiful, varied events and FCs -- though I understand some people would prefer to be an oh-so-exclusively sandbox, but well, I'm not talking to those sorts. I'm afraid you'll just have to learn to share.
The focus should be "Welcome to Mateus!" not "lol Balmung suxorz amirite?"Â
To anyone reading this from Balmung who is now concerned about joining us, this is not the prevailing attitude at all. I and many others welcome all of you and have nothing but respect for your server.
I agree. There will always be people you might not like, parts of the community will always feel cliqueish, ERPers are there whether you like it or not (and still, really, what's the big deal?), and we shouldn't be taking shots at Balmung. Lots of good people there, who have helped found even this community here for us to use. People who even, in some cases, are reaching out to help, promoting us here, and even in some cases joining us. Let Mateus stand on it's own, and let's not get into the whole "comparing contrasting" game that keeps ripping these discussions apart, and potentially deterring people from joining us who may find it petty.
