Why did you choose this server?

So, why'd you all join Gilgamesh?

I personally was from Figaro, but since we all got boarded into a JP Legacy, I decided to move here, since Gilgamesh is one of my favorites characters.

Why did you all join here? Be it for the same reason, or something else like population or Reddit, we're all family here.

There is really only one answer worth using:

Because players of Gilgamesh fight like men. And ladies. And ladies dressed like men.

Because Aldric rolled here. Not to sound stalkerish or anything...

Because, I love me some history! ...and Ancient Aliens. >_>

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh is credited with the building of the legendary walls of Uruk. An alternative version has Gilgamesh telling Urshanabi, the ferryman, that the city's walls were built by the Seven Sages. In historical times, Sargon of Akkad claimed to have destroyed these walls to prove his military power.

Fragments of an epic text found in Me-Turan (modern Tell Haddad) relate that at the end of his life Gilgamesh was buried under the river bed. The people of Uruk diverted the flow of the Euphrates passing Uruk for the purpose of burying the dead king within the river bed. In April 2003, a German expedition claimed to have discovered his last resting place.

It is generally accepted that Gilgamesh was a historical figure, since inscriptions have been found which confirm the historical existence of other figures associated with him: such as the kings Enmebaragesi and Aga of Kish. If Gilgamesh was a historical king, he probably reigned in about the 26th century BC. Some of the earliest Sumerian texts spell his name as Bilgames. Initial difficulties in reading cuneiform resulted in Gilgamesh's making his re-entrance into world culture in 1872 as "Izdubar".

Same here. I loved the Epic of Gilgamesh.

I am playing on this server plain and simply because my Free Company is gonna be on this server. I had a ton of fun playing with them over the last beta weekend and I cant wait to continue the adventure with them through early access and release :D

Group of people I know chose this server, so I followed!

Like I had a choice in the matter. *shakes fist*

Simply put, a personal friend of mine was following someone we both knew from FFXI on the Odin server who was following another group of his own friends, and they chose Gilgamesh. So, yeah... I basically tagged along with them all.

I rolled a D20 and it came up Gilgamesh

Me too.

rolled in gilgamesh on ffxi from '03-'10. 1.0 didn't have a gilgamesh :( but now it's back and i'm looking forward to see old friends and familiar names in the new old place :3

Multiple active communities + high population = infallible multiplayer experience

I have a FC I hooked up with and they are based on Gilgamesh, so now so am I. It also has a large RP community and that's something I'd like to try.

I like to play in the big pond.

Ill be honest here. Before I was accepted into p3 I surfed the subreddit r/ffxiv. Basically I wanted another way to communicate with a community, other than Their base forum or joining a FC website. The popularity for me has been a 50/50; They're almost equal in pro/cons. Told 3 of my friends to join me on this server. Only one now has followed me in P4. My planned Fc company up and changed their server choice to cactaur, to which I didn't join because I've made my choice.

Our Free Company chose to make its home here when it was first announced.

Because it's freaking gilgamesh, i think it shows character and sounds cool (and he's usually a comical guy)

I will be playing here with RL's

Randomly picked a high population server.

I joined here because a friend of mine asked me to join on their server. Originally played on Behemoth in Phase 3.

We chose this server due to the anticipated high population :)

This server has pretty much got it all. Packed to the gills with bros, lots of progression guilds, and there's RP here when I want to do that. Gilgamess is the Chinese Buffet of servers.

Fools! You face the mightiest swordsman in all of Eorzea!
You face ME! GILGAMESH!
Long have I sought the blade of legend...
Scoured have I the furthest marches, EAST AND WEST!
And now my search brings me here!
To you!

There's no better reason.

Did someone say subreddit?

Because Gilgamesh is the best of the best!

Picked because of anticipated population and RP community.

My friends wish we had picked another server cause half of them can't get in ... doh.

I was on Behemoth in phase 3 but my friend told me he was going on Gilgamesh with his friends when phase 4 and launch were coming out and asked me to come with. So I went with and joined on Gilgamesh.

My gaming group (which became my FC) chose this server, so I followed.

That's really all there is to it, in the end. Call it luck of the draw...

A group of friends decided to join this one. I also learned a lot of online communities joined it, so that made it seem more fun to join a popular server.

I typically roll on "unofficial" RP servers as the community tends to be more mature. Hasn't failed me yet!

Yep, this. Of course I can't vouch for every RPer out there (because I'm not going to pretend like the "RP nazi" doesn't exist), but generally speaking? I've found a friendlier, more grown-up community every time I've ever tried an RP server.

I've been doing this since the early days of DAoC and the majority of the time it's worked out fairly well.
