I've been saying that since before launch splitting the RP community in two directions was a bad idea, particularly since all that seemed to be going to Gilgamesh was a smaller community more focused on tight cliques and making a name for themselves, but for the most part I've had to hold my tongue because that seems to be a taboo thing to talk about here. I'm not going to lie--I've run into a lot of players on Balmung who've transferred here from Gilgamesh because they were dissatisfied there. Most new players, events, and linkshell/FC ads I see here on the RPC are more often on Balmung than Gilgamesh. There are still some awesome role-players, FC's, and LS's on Gilgamesh, but I do have to say Balmung is more active in the RP community these days.
I am glad someone is speaking up about this because this is exactly how I feel. It is not what Gilgamesh players want to hear but from my experiences the RP community is not big enough for more than one RP server for ANY MMO except maybe WoW. The game has been out for a while at this point. I understand the original reason for Gilgamesh was so that newcomers could get a fresh and fair start on a non-legacy server but those differences likely aren't all that noticeable anymore for new players. Â That really hurts Gilgamesh's chances of getting fresh blood when non legacy servers are not really different from legacy ones at this point.
Overall I have to agree with Faye. Splitting the RP community probably wasn't a good idea.
