Non-RPers Unite!

[Issachar]

Don't pay much mind to Molly, one of her server-mates told me she got hand-held to 50. So, this is more than likely someone who doesn't know very much about the game or how communities work.

And judging by the overall pattern of non-battle progression (or lack thereof), I'm likely inclined to believe it.

(Yes I was that bored)

actually, I've had all my battle classes to 50 for MUCH longer than most.

word on teh street is that you got PL'd to 50. must have been difficult.

There wasn't even a way to PL when I got my last 50. Troll harder.

Eh, if thats what she wants to do man, whatever.. I think she's not really taking things into account. I've tried to show her my logic but it seems to go over her head.. I'll give it one last go tho..

Molly you have 10 server to choose from. (yes you have a choice)

Ridill - Normal (but possibly full)
Masamune - Normal
Durandal - Normal
Aegis - Normal
Gungnir - Normal
Sargatanas - Normal
Balmung - (Unofficial) RP
Hyperion - Normal
Excalibur - Normal
Ragnarok - EU

You currently sit on a normal server, you are opting to move to a different type of server, like it or not, the culture there is different from what you and your members are use to. This will ensure some form of change, that may be positive it may be negative.. I don't really know but that equates some level or risk of a negative outcome for the people of your shell. I'm sure everyone in there isn't as keen as you are about roll play. (There are players who hate Besaid and have posted here. Some have upwards of 80 people on their blacklist because of this single issue that makes Besaid different.) A safe and logical course of action would be to choose one of the 7 servers that will have predictable play environment for you and your shell mates. Despite all the nice things people say almost everyone seems to agree that you hardly notice the RP there. Key word.. "hardly". Words matter. In many of their posts in defense of Besaid they have indeed confirmed it is not a normal server. Likewise you'll receive as much love from anywhere else I'm sure, just because people on Besaid are nice, doesn't mean they aren't just as nice everywhere else as well.

So your course of action is one of two. Stay or move. Let's evaluate the merits of both.

If you stay some various people who are indecisive, or unaware of what they are getting into may opt to stay on Fabul (note: *everyone* you play with now will not remain on Fabul, so you "loose people" either way.). If you leave you will have a predictable play experience concurrent to the one you are use to.

So the question I proposed to you before was.. since you decided to stay.. what were the merits of that decision of not you but your shell as a whole. You said you placed it to a vote.. but did you actually talk about the points I'm bringing up here? "My friends are staying and so am I." sounds like a plan of apathy to me.. it sounds like they either don't understand there is risk involved or can't come to a decision at all.

For somebody who doesn't know me at all, you really seem to care about what server I end up on. If you want to play with me after the server merge, stay on Balmung, otherwise, see ya!

btw, this might rock your world, shhhh... I'm a man'qote.

Besaid IS a perfectly normal server. Anyone who doesn't believe so, please roll up a new character and come play with us.

Also, you might be surprised to know that other servers have role-players too, including Fabul. It's not like they only play on Besaid.

I mean really... You talk like there is a chance Fabul players might become infected with some terminal disease. This conversation has gone from amusing to insane in my opinion.

I really didn't want to feed the fire by posting here again but I grow worried about the people merging to Besaid so I thought maybe it is best to throw in a more positive note. Fabul, we welcome you~ our server is big already but with you it will be so much more wholesome! There is a large community here of mixed players, and I seen new people come and get welcomed almost every day.

After spending some time on Saronia (where I started and returned for a few weeks to see old friends) I found it had been very quiet. Partys shouted for what seemed hours(and that was someone outside the pts observation) There was some really awesome people there though and I think this merge will be awesome for them. After playing around in Saronia I dabbled in Selbina a few weeks as well. Selbina was also a very nice community, shouts were more frequent, the JP community seemed larger then Saronia and Besaids combined. The population was a bit higher then Besaids but it looked the same, just a few more bodies running around Uldah then in Besaid. *Hugs to all the wonderful friends I made on both these servers*

Please don't worry about a rp side of the community, we are very small and I don't think for the 100 or less players in it that you should be too terribly worried about us. If you wish to go out of the way to avoid rp, it mostly takes place in the miners guild and the marauder ship bars. I also promise you people don't get un-repaired or bashed in pt's by role players as to find a actual ls level up party in roleplay is almost unheard of. The gentleman who stated this , well Im sorry you disliked Besaid because I enjoyed Selbina, but in the 2 yrs I have been here have never seen this kind of behavior. Heck I would say 80% of the people who role play are very casual at it and In the end game linkshells.

Roleplaying is very small in Besaid. Just like the normal player base they grow tired and move on to other games. Many ran off to Star wars. The whole RPC(Roleplaying community) can fit into one linkshell and we do. It would seem awfully harsh to leave a server over a few handfuls of people who you will barely ever see roleplaying.

Please, Fabulians, Besaidians, and everyone else, lets drop this silly matter. Does it really matter if role players wanted a role play server? It doesn't hurt anyone. Lets look forward to this future merge of all our servers, make new friends, welcome old ones back, and look forward to bigger community's. I look forward to meeting you Fabul <3 Especially you Hiir <3 And thank you molly, for standing up to your new merge partner.

See when you say things like this you hurt your case. When you use words like "we are a small group" you loose all credibility. Can the one person on Besaid who does not rollplay stand up and tell us about it? Oh wait Brigandier already did didn't he..

Yah I may be mouthy.. it's my way to tell people how I fell about things... but I can tell you one thing.. If it wasn't a concern of people on Fabul then why are all the Fabul LS leaders up here reading the ROLLPLAY thread?
