Splitting into two servers is already spreading us thin. Spreading us across more servers would be asinine and hurt the RP community. Each server would only have a small little clique of role-players who may be difficult to discover and join, not a healthy, thriving community.Your first point is a really debatable.. I find that the community is acutually fairly spread. One of the most common reasons people think there is no RP is because they have character that wouldn't normally go up to people.. they expect other RPers to just walk up to them and RP, which is a nice thought true, but very few follow through... no one ever take the initiative to actually search for it... I have experianced this on serveral MMO's. People say "Oh this is a dead community, there is never RP.." But for some reason.. I alway seem to get RP when I actually try to find it... I take the initative and search for it and 90% it takes me less than 5 minutes, even without a guild... not wait for some random person to come up to me... You say your community is very, very small.. but honestly the amount of rolepayers are decently dispersed... It's the roleplayers themselves that make it seem small...
Second, the people did decide what to do. We choose to RP on Balmung, and then some people who shied away from Legacy servers chose to RP on Gilgamesh. This was the majority's decision. A single person, or small group of people, did not decide on this and magically force everyone else to comply. It was a "unanimous" decision.
Third, there is role-play on the other servers. It's just so few and far between that there is not an actual, notable role-play community on those servers and the RPC doesn't and shouldn't see fit to encourage and perpetuate it.
Fourth... okay, I have no idea why Gilgamesh was chosen, I agree that it was a pretty questionable choice. I suppose you'd have to ask whoever first suggested and agreed on Gilgamesh.
For your second point I would like to apologize for my misinformation, I didn't not realize that it was decided with multiple people, that is on me.
For your third point I just want to say that your statement is untrue... when the game first came out to purchase the servers, Balmung and Gilgamesh, became immediately unavailable. From my experience on the server Faerie, I found a good community of RPers on that server... in fact they were the one's that led me to this site... And quite a few of them had to move because no one wanted to take the time to consider another server... after anyone mention it is completely shot down... and then someone has to post a video that came out in beta (It was posted on Aug 10, 2013)... not when the game actually was available to purchase (Aug 27, 2013)... that video is outdated from my understanding.. thus conversation is outdated... no one expected for the servers to be so crowded... not even SE... so I don't see why there cannot even be a discussion on this matter...
I am not trying to be rude but I seriously feel like this discussion is being put off when it could be gone over again...
I would also like to say that the RPC have defiantly grown... I mean most of the original member of this site are probably from beta... and that most likely doesn't even cover half the community that is in this game now.
