Non-RPers Unite!

[Coglin]

Right, I'm the one looking for attention here.

Clearly you are. Otherwise, why would you tell posters here they should be, and let be, then go on not to let us be?

This thread just became a game of logic.

I actually came in here to see what all the fuss was about. Then I found some douche bags complaining about stuff that won't even affect them unless they intentionally move to Balmung of their own accord. It's entertaining, so I stayed.

Could people stop with the generalizations on both ends? and really? referring to the server merger as an infestation? How much ruder can some of you be?

This is getting stupid, very fast. Some of you received the bad end of some of the few mean RPers. Ok I understand that, but that does not give you the right to sit there and generalize and insult the whole group -.- Non-RPers and RPers, there are good and bad of both, deal with it, thats life.

I'm happy to be merging with Besaid. For those leaving, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Do we really need 20 pages of discussion on this? If you don't want to be on Balmung, you have the opportunity to pick a different server, do so. So, what's the problem?

Others may not know, but I know you have an agenda by saying this and that is your shell Abaddon. You'd have to be really really naive to think that the best thing for Abaddon is moving it to a weird server so your presenting an image of not caring to smooth drama over. You do care tho, that is why your here. That's why your playing the card you are in your posts.

My shell TwoPaths, we are gone.. we have the ability to move and I'm not going to take the risk of "maybe besaid isn't so bad". Perhaps this works for us because we are just more tight knit than your shell.. I don't know. Sorry.. don't mean to cut you down or single you out but that's whats behind the scenes.. that's why all the Fabul LS leaders are up here.

A lot of our shells on Fabul share members, maybe instead of hoping things are ok, why don't you get with the other leaders and plan to go somewhere else en-mass?

I find it sad that people think they need to "evacuate" the server because of the merge.... have you ever played with any of the people on the other server? Have you just meet a few bad RPers? or are you just basing all this off what you hear?

I've played entire games where RP was mandatory else you were shunned. I deaphtly knowith my lady and I nary the patience or temperament to dawdle away the ages in yer balmy lil' hoaxes. :: curtsey ::

Get my drift?

I read your bio also, so are you gonna go "fight evil" on Balmung? I assume many of you are planning that, one of the big reasons I'm out.

Lookin' forward to meetin' all the (nice) new RPers and non-RPers who join Balmung~

[DrekeLamorte]

Ohhhhhh. RPists! I get it now! It's been bugging me why some people use that instead of RPers.

There's pretentious, ignorant, and/or arrogant people on both sides of any issue. RPing is no exception. Besaid, like all servers, has your typical middle ground of players. It also has the most casual of casuals, and the most hardcore of hardcore.

They're called extremes.

To anyone reading something on an internet forum:

Keep in mind when you read an opinion about any topic/view/person(s) that it's a very select view who will actually view said conversation, even more specifically those who choose to comment, based on their degree of passion about something they've read. That being said, though this has gone on for 23 pages, it is in no way, shape or form, an accurate representation of anti- or pro-RP, because, at the end of the day, 200+ posts from approximately 100 different people from generally 5 different servers, only make up about <10% of the FFXIV population.

Sometimes I wonder how I can tolerate reading some threads all the way through, but then I get to the end and remember what a hilarious misadventure this topic has been.

Par for the course, thanks for the lulz. /cheers

PS: To Brigadier, or whomever agrees with his "anti-general statement type people," it has nothing to do with sitting on the fence about an issue, or playing both sides. I always already have my opinion, but unlike the intolerant, it's constantly changing to reflect the continuous feed of information and views so that I agree with what I've said in the past without regret.
