I confess I'm annoyed by the frequency with which these threads are popping up, but I think it's just something we're going to have to live with for at least the next three weeks. Â The facts of what each server are have been presented and as long as that information remains consistent and unbiased, I see no reason to lock it. Â And when someone comes at one of these threads with an opinion favoring one server or the other, usually someone from the opposite side of the argument is quick to point out any details which may have been omitted.
My opinion is that I'm tired of these debate threads because people favoring Balmung are not going to find the reasons to choose Gilgamesh compelling, people favoring Gilgamesh are not going to agree with those favoring Balmung, and a handful of people in the middle are just going to keep reiterating the same points - play on both servers.
The only tidbit I could offer to this would be that if a new player does create characters on both servers that he or she also investigate what sort of guilds are available on each of those servers and make some effort to be proactive and initiate contact with members of the most preferred guilds on each.  I think standing around in Gold Court and waiting for RP to just happen is not the best way of going about that.  Research, research, research.  And consider that the friends and acquaintances you will be making and associating with - possibly over the next several years - will ultimately depend on this choice. So don't make it lightly.
