Does it seem like it could remain steady for years and be like Balmung? Or does it seem like it could go the way of Gilgamesh and just end up merging back into Balmung before long? (Or maybe my hypothesis about Gilgamesh is right and there isn't an issue about that...)
Is it active? Can I walk into frequented Balmung RP places on Mateus and find RP? Or is it more hidden from public?
Not trying to crush dreams or anything. Just want to know the validity of switching RP servers.
Is it active? Can't compare it to Balmung, but it's slow been picking up. Quicksand used to be empty, but now a handful of RPers hang out in the area. I've connected with most of the people I RP with via sending them /tells or digging around the forum or the RPM (Mateus RPing Discord). It's okay to check the Quicksands once in a while, but I wouldn't recommend that to be your only source in trying to look for new people to connect with.
Mateus only has started gaining a lot of population due to Balmung being locked down so it's hard to say whether it's going to be the another unofficial RPing server like Balmung or if it'll be in the same situation as Gilgamesh (assuming what you mentioned is true. I've never been on Gilgamesh so I cant verify if it is true or not), but as long as Balmung continues to be locked, I think Mateus has the potential to be the next unofficial RPing server. I am one of the many people who transferred to Mateus due to various reasons and I'm enjoying my stays here. Yes, there are some things that are better on Balmung (cheap market price to be one of them), but for me, the pros is far more greater than the cons. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me more questions
The Gilgamesh stuff stems from just a hypothesis that, with Gilgamesh housing some of the more successful, noteworthy, accomplished and celebrated raiders, you get a lot of trash there. Idiots, who for whatever reason, thought that harassing RPers would endear them in the eyes of big-name raiders like Death and Taxes, or otherwise serve to stoke their epeens, thus ultimately driving the RPers to Balmung, leaving no RP on Gilgamesh whatsoever.
Mateus is not Gilgamesh when it comes to raiding.
