As for right now there are two servers the RPC endorses which is Balmung, the original choice since 1.0 and now Gilgamesh the rp server for those who don't want to play on a Legacy server for whatever reason. Its really up to what you would like as a roleplayer. Balmung is established and people know it many just want to jump right into roleplay with an established known community of roleplayers. Gilgamesh is new and scrappy and needs to be built by great roleplayers looking to help. There is no right or wrong choice it just depends on what you are looking for in a server.
Long time gamer, huge FF nut. Â I'm an old school RP guy though I've spent most of the past 5 years on WoW world PvP servers. Â Many good times, but I think I'm favoring more "grown up" environments now.
Anyway, does anyone know if Square will have designated RP servers or will the community just sort of christen one unofficially? Â I think there was some post in the forums that a buddy linked me that implied Gilgamesh. Â Sound about right? Â Good choice if so. Â Gil is a wacky bastard.
I imagine there are many groups that will go other ways with their collective broods, but as a guy with a few buds ready to get back into some RP stuff, I want to ensure that it will be the right environment.
