Question about Balmung.

[Kaethra]

I'm curious, why?

The only reason that could be behind that is an outdated idea that one server's population is better or worse than another and they do not wish to mix them. Having played dozens of servers across dozens of MMOs, I can't attest that is a false assumption. People are the same on one server as another. The position of a server in a list or its name, or in many cases its type, doesn't affect the sort of player that decides to play there.

History has kinda proved that desegregation among homogeneous populations is a good thing.

So I'm mostly in this thread to express my disbelief about people saying RPers are the "minority." I mean they're not over 50% of the population(what demographic is) but they're by no means a small group.

I run into them all the time, sometimes even in old leveling zones. They're by no means some small niche group that you'd have to hunt for to even realize they exist.

Try playing on another server. Balmung was selected by the early RP community to be the unofficial RP server. On my server (which I believe is the 2nd most populated) I can county maybe 2 RPers I've seen in 3 years. The RP playstyle is definitely in the minority in every MMORPG. I used to RP myself in these games, only stopped about 6 years ago. I can pick out a RPer pretty easily.

They're either a majority or a minority. Since you admitted under 50%, they're a minority. Minority does not mean a small group, it means less than what the majority is. The majority is non-RPers, therefore RPers are the minority.

I'd be interested to know if there are more RPers than raiders

Overcrowding.

I only made it to page 6 before I got tired of this guys whining and refusal to understand what's going on.

Hey now, please don't drag us into your balmung problems we aren't even on the same data center! But yeah we are the most populated server on Primal atm. There are times that characters can't be made on Leviathan too. The difference is that we don't make 20 threads a month whining about it.

No one can ever say a world isn't overcrowded during a between-patch lull in activity.

Remember Raubahn EX? Yeah well that sort of thing happens when new patches come out. Times like that is why population caps are important.. Between the odd and even patch is literally the worst time to judge server population.. Because the raiding community finished raiding months ago, and the only content in the game is catch-up stuff that aims to keep people semi-occupied is casual stuff that is irrelevant to a lot of people..

This particular lull is even worse than it has been in previous odd to even patches because normally people have a relic weapon to grind. This time round, all people have to do is a bit of PvP really..
