As someone coming over fresh from GW2, the recent front page post definitely does not give that impression. If I were to look at that without having previously read the forums here, I would presume that Gilgamesh is where I should be creating my character because I'm not legacy.
That's just plain not smart. The RP community is small enough as it is, and a strong effort to pull new roleplayers to Balmung despite the legacy stigma should be made and made repeatedly. Even googling "what is the unofficial ffxiv rp server" gives no clear answers to a new, non-legacy players. This is really an appalling state of affairs in my opinion and every attempt should be made to remedy it.
Thank you.
They are NOT Legacy and non-Legacy RP servers. That was NOT the intent.
The intent was to label a non-Legacy server for people who did not want to join Balmung due to it being Legacy. Balmung is the unofficial RP server of the RPC. We encourage new people to join Balmung. Gilgamesh is where those who do not want to join a Legacy server due to whatever reason can congregate for RP.
Unfortunately the Welcome posts in my opinion (which has been noted and promptly disregarded) have created an unnecessary amount of confusion by not spelling the above out clearly for new RPers.
