Transfer Restrictions and Roleplayers

[Kuroneko_Jutah]

That isn't how our community works, it thrives in larger numbers. Because that means, new people can find groups or form new groups for older RPers to join or work with and grow with. We aren't limited like most of the other communities in the game, sometimes numbers in one place aren't great for raiders or PvPers, because it can cause rifts and outsiders, but here that isn't as much of a problem. She wasn't saying don't do it, she was saying it has been tried and failed many times, or never really got off the ground in the first place, and when we ask for some help, the first reply from someone shouldn't always be: "Do it yourself." because movement and growth of the community requires a large agreement that is hard to obtain and solidify. Oversimplifying the case or solution isn't helping.

It is difficult. It requires coordination, cooperation, and planning; networking together (outside the game in many cases). The unfortunate reality of the situation is that doing these things involves a lot of risk and little reward and folks would rather stay on Balmung instead. It's this attitude that bugs me because it just enforces the status quo and doesn't allow for change. SE putting up an RP tag on specific servers would go a long way to solve it but at the end of the day if people aren't willing to relocate to "seed" these communities we'll end up right back where we are right now: an overpopulated Balmung.

I agree, it's easier for non-RPers to leave. but that doesn't answer my question. What are you going to do if the non-RPs don't want to leave also?

This isn't helping at all, it is just being circuitous with what if's and stating issues that should be considered, but not seriously discussed until something actually occurs and we have outcomes rather than assumptions. Also, Balmung does not need to be the RP server, any server could be it, having a future official option would lessen the strain overall~

But with options to what we have now, and better yet: "Official Options" we would have solutions that could more easily facilitate the move over time.

Yes, it's a question to make people consider it. Refusing to answer it, whether publicly or not, is simply denying a possible reality. It is better to be prepared to act if the situation arises than to scramble when it's already too late.

The RP community better be having some serious discussion right now, because right now, it's a reality that people can no longer go to Balmung. That isn't a "what if" anymore.
