The state of the Gilgamesh server

[CrimsonMars]

I just wanna thank everyone for the constructive and mature post so far, even the Bulmung guys. Not that I was even afraid of you guys flaming or anything.  This may in fact, help the Gilgamesh community become a more lively and overall, better environment.

Could always make a fresh start on Diabolos. Five of us starting a noob, casual RP FC.

Hmmm... I would say yeah overall RP has been dwindling in numbers, but that shouldn't discourage anyone from RPing and the like. It takes a bit of looking but if you search hard enough you can find good quality RP.

 

In my personal experience, I always managed to find some of all levels. People who join the server can utilize many ways of doing so. Joining the many different FC's linkshells are a good start, even if you don't want to join the FC they advertise many great events there open or otherwise. As well as many have great in FC arcs themselves. The RPC as well is a good resource and heck putting yourself up for the many auctions and the like can get you some great RP partners and some great arcs in the works. Taverns used to be a great way of finding RP but because of the talking quests and the FC housing that kinda got pushed aside. Many RPers have "Open to walk up RP" in their search tag, that I haven't seen used much personally, but I think it would be great if more people would use it. I also saw a thread here that maybe use the party finder for random RP shenanigans, which I thought was pretty cool! 

 

On the negative side, what I have found (especially with tavern RP) is that it never goes beyond introductions and small talk then and there.

 

I usually have Iliette stationed at either at Arcanum's FC house, or at Old Gridania near Mikh Khet and I wish more people would just walk up to me and say hi in character

 

I agree with all the people from Gilgamesh that have commented. The server while it does have fewer numbers RPing (either because they left, or don't like asking for it because they feel they are bothering the person etc), but it is not dying and worth a look. It maybe a bit of a search, but people are open for it and we have many tools at our side so I say utilize them!

Hello!

 

I just wanted to pop in and put in my voice, but forgive me if it doesn't seem relevant.  You see, I am returning to the game since my classes are ending this week (yay!) , and I'm on entry subscription for now so I only have one character per server.  I have a character on Balmung, but I've fallen out of love with her and it's been so long since I played her, I find it hard to pick her back up because I'm not sure where I left off (I stopped playing once my free 30 days ran out and school got hectic).  Long story short, tomorrow or Friday once I've wrapped up my final projects, I'm planning to create a character on Gilgamesh so I can learn everything over again.  

 

I'm a newbie to the game, but not to roleplay, and for me that aspect is very important--so I came looking here for some insight on what Gilgamesh is like in compare to Balmung, and found this thread.  And I have to say, I'm really encouraged--no matter the state of the server, I can see that there are a handful of people here who really care about the stories they are creating and the connections they are making with people in-game.  And well, that's just ducky, and that's all I need to hear.

 

So if Gilgamesh needs some love, I will help give it some!  *raises hand*  I'm very excited to start playing again now. I hope to see you all in game sometime soon!

I for one can't wait to see what you come up with! I'll sadly be gone this weekend but there's a lot of healthy RP blood out there, I'm sure you'll find a place!
