What's with all the flame battle going on here.

Balmung is a consequence of both players and SE actions. Players labeled it the unofficial RP server thinking it would be a much smaller community, which it was, for the start of 2.0. SE labeled it as Legacy, meaning more people joined and stuck around early on. Eventually the RP community kept increasing to drastic numbers (and yes, it IS that big, as a non-RPer it's near impossible to recruit on the server). Balmung's unique nature attracts some who just wanna see bustling streets (which is nice, I admit) and it keeps swelling. The whole "if that many people are there it must be fun", also got more people to join.

Whose fault is it in the end? - Chaos theory


The solution really is just an RP added to the end of a server, everything else would sort itself out.
