If so there is another rp community building on Behemoth as well.
Â
I honestly don't care where we end up I just want to help a new rp server succeed.
Might as well put these down here too. There are those in the Reddit community who are interested in roleplaying. I always say its nice not to stereotype people. I mean as roleplayers we are often called elitist jerks, but I'd like to change that. I also spoke to people who were -excited- and happy that the community was so diverse. I even did an impromptu rp class during this last phase with a guild that most roleplayers would ignore.
Â
And there are some here that are actually from the Reddit community who are interested in roleplay. How bout being nicer to them and at least giving them the benefit of the doubt eh?

So look at that Gilgamesh will be a place that even a person from Reddit can come along and roleplay with us without being worried about being looked down upon because they are on Reddit, or any community deemed -not worthy- by the roleplaying elite. *rolls eyes*
Â
Bottom line is blacklist the griefers and teach the newbies. Proactivity is the order of the day on Gilgamesh and leaders who really want to put the work in to build something great are what we need right now more than anyone else. Now for those who are going to Balmung fantastic, its nice to be able to just jump right into things. Me personally I'm just excited to be building something and I enjoy teaching people something fun, but that's just me.
Â
If I were that worried about griefers I wouldn't play mmos at all, seriously. A bit too much hair on my chest for that concern you know, and I drink a full eight glasses of *Man Up* daily.
Â
And as far as quality rp goes, well that depends on what we do to push it. Again if you are coming to Gilgamesh you have to be proactive and willing to be strong enough and patient enough to want to build something great. If you wish to not take a leadership role from the gate I more than understand. As many have said you can't come to Gilgamesh and be upset that you aren't finding rp. You have to make it. Me personally? I do a pretty damn good job of making rp and I am confident in those coming to Gilgamesh to do the same. I've been playing mmos since 1999, I could care less about griefers and I find many are easy to convert if you are willing to take the time to teach them. Many so called griefers are that way because of the negative stereoytpes surrounding roleplayers. I have not gotten griefed -once- during beta 2 and 3 and this is with teleporting from city to city to inform the populace that there will be rp on the server. I am patient with them and more than willing to answer any questions, and for that they are glad we are there. I personally find Gilgamesh with all its varied communities to be something special. I found the non roleplayers to be warm kind and excited to be in a new mmo. Many of them were even following name conventions for their characters trying to get into the lore.
Â
And guess what? I'll turn those guys into roleplayers too, and so will the rest of the Gilgamesh crew.
Â
One of my most favorite servers of all time was Wyrmrest Accord in WoW, the rp was great, the community was warm and there were other groups there besides roleplayers, and we all appreciated each other being around and in time respect grew. I am looking forward helping to recreate that.
Â
Open mindedness and killing them with kindness will win the day, and if that doesn't work well there is blacklisting them and calling it a day.
Â
Those who are coming along for this exciting ride see you in open beta and please come to the beach party! Can't wait to have you there.
Â
And last but not least bring yourselves, bring your concepts, bring your patience and most of all bring your roleplay. Because there are people on the server who want to see you. Trust me on this! I have spoken to FC leaders, first timers, etc etc who are all happy that there is an rp community that is going to be there. I have even spoken to FC's who while not a rp FC have members who want to rp, they will be contacting me during phase 4. Seen the Tempest FC adverts during the beta? Yeah we had guys from Tempest try out rp with us too for the first time and they loved it. *Waves to Booker*
Â
Thank you all who are supporting this endeavor. Look forward to roleplaying with you and establishing a fine strong foundation! See you all in the game!
