How legacy players won't effect me?
Well, my reasoning is uh... kind of selfish and somewhat snotty
The biggest reason I don't think Balmung legacy's will effect me is because there will be more of us than them. The Legacy RPers will have to adapt to the influx of new members or get left in the dust. The Beta forums was, at one point, trying to figure out how many people are actually "Legacy" but the most they could do was look up at the characters on XIVPADS. I think the number was 50,000 - 60,000. Total. That is TINY. On XIVPads there are 6,100 characters on Balmung, which ACTUALLY is not too bad so go Balmung. But the amount of those that roleplay may be in the low 100's. 100-200 people, if that. The core people who were really ingrained in heavy rp? Probably 30-40. Popular characters? 10-20. This numbers aren't scary numbers! SE is projecting much much bigger numbers of newbies than that. It's almost like a reset for Legacy players too. 90% of the people rolling on that server won't know who there characters are, or care. They have to prove themselves all over again.
Sure, they could stick to their little legacy group if they wanted, but they would become background noise if they did. Maybe they are okay with that, I don't know. But Legacy RPers are a nonissue.
Now we can talk about economy and server firsts or whatever, but right now I'm just specefically talking about the RP side of things
