I've been playing on RP-servers in every MMORPG I've played since several years ago, even though I'm at most a very light RPer (if even that), and they all have had one thing in common: I've liked the community a LOT. ^^

I myself have an interest in RP, so I might even join the fray one of these days, but for now what I'm seeking from Balmung is the nice community. One where you won't get bashed instantly if you happen to ask a slightly stupid question. I've had a secondary character there for a while now, just to see how it is, and so far so good!

No server is perfect, I know that. But I'm taking my chances based on earlier experiences on RP-servers.

And at the end of the day, I'd take a shell full of bad RP'ers over a bunch of gear elitists any day! RP can be learned and usually causes no harm to anyone else, whereas attitude problems are a little harder to weed out.

Here's to hoping Balmung opens up again! Some of my friends already got in a while ago when it was open, but I was still asleep. ^^;
