The greatest threat to the long-term health of the RP community in FFXIV is disorganization and fragmentation across numerous servers. Server choice should not be an artificial limitation that constricts who and how you can roleplay. Unfortunately, on smaller servers, RPers do not enjoy the same breadth of choice in terms of in-character content and styles of roleplay.
It is critical that RPers stick together and form as large of a community as possible. This creates greater RP opportunities and a more meaningful community.
Sig, I am not sure if you are aware but currently new players are unable to join Balmung. New character creation and server transfers are completely disabled for the foreseeable future. There is a need right now for an alternative and this thread is to help people make an educated decision on which server would fit them best.
If you would like to discuss the current situation with the server lock down, please go here:Â http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=19397Â . In the mean time, I would like to please keep this thread clear from such discussions so that clear information can be given to players seeking a new refuge.
