Yes. That is why this post was drafted and many in the community work hard to support the community. It is unfortunate some members of the community adopt a passive approach to this issue, and forget that they have the ability to question unsound policies and advocate for reasonable changes to those policies. Instead of fearing that others will “beat up RPers” or “give people clubs to beat up Balmung,” it is better to address major problems and inequities head on. We’re all nerds playing a six-year old catgirl simulator, after all, and shouldn’t be concerned with others think of us. If the best thing a few forum lurkers can do is post juvenile memes and mock how someone thinks and types, it should be a sign that someone has a decent point. I’d explain more, but I can’t find anymore colorful words in my thesaurus to use. Sorry.

Based on this post that I quoted and the sentence I underlined. It seems it really is a community effort (the RP community gathering together to see the issue and the possible solutions) vs SE trying to offer an equal experience across the board (Because you're not the only population in Balmung nor the only paying customers). Unofficial census sources point at Balmung being very overpopulated and the one server many people want to go to, and for that the RP community has put the noose on themselves.


  • Should the sever be unlocked? They (SE) will decide that with the data they have available. But with the RP community continuously trying to gather on one spot, lockdowns are something you can see happen.
  • Should there be an RP Server? Maybe, the bigger question is regarding people who do something more than RP in x server. I am sure people who RP do more than just that (OOC is the term used iirc) and they might not like moving elsewhere, so you have a conundrum where I am sure there's enough people in the RP community that have that same issue and as such, likely disagree with this, even with the datacenter FL and tell option.
  • Should I keep doing this? Of course you do, you have every right to express your opinion and concern, but as much as you seem to try to represent the community you're trying to be vocal for, you're just adding fuel to the flame that antagonizes you. We tend to get what we ask for, the issue is always the way we ask for it.
