    RP'ers are always made fun of, that goes back to even WoW and in some servers FFXI. First thing I heard about WoW was Goldshire jokes so infamy seems common in places where ERP can or does occur. Balmung got a bad rep cause people didn't like how when Q&A sessions happened, a majority (sometimes) of the questions came from Balmung because its larger population weighted the chances of their questions being picked and the questions mostly related to glamour or adjustments other vocal parts of the community felt were unnecessary. Then this became a meme that Balmung is ONLY about (e)RP and that only bad players populate there.

    Hell you still see it in threads now and again "oh this baddie came from balmung OF COURSE". Even though there's many players of varying skill spread across every server. And I'm sorry to hear that your whole three years of being on Balmung was apparently bad, perhaps it was who you interacted with on a regular basis. There's no debating your personal experience so I won't but please don't bash the server because some aspects of it weren't to your liking.

    But honestly enough of bumping this thread, it needs to be let back into the void. Server is locked for a good reason and should stay that way until more people disperse
