Avoiding Besaiders and Balmung

Not to be outdone by Raikki, I put on my bath-robe and began to blow on my bubble-pipe.

You guys are so lame. ^.~

The Lalalfelluminati strike again. Dance Hyru/Miqo'te/Roegdayne/Elezen dance.

A dashing roegadyn wearing his fine linen coatee and cap walks into a bar. His dyslexic miqo'te assistant walks into a bra. The roegadyn struts in, with one hand on his hip, the other waving in the air, and his nose tipped to the roof. Strands of his hair dangle in the breeze with each tilt of the hand. He begins to have a conversation with Momodi, assuming her every response.

A highlander male approaches, with no history in the records of the Eorzean professionals, places his weaving needle in his tool belt. He changes clothes in front of all to see in the center of the lobby, donning on a similar coatee, grins a sheepish grin, professes his disdain for the roegadyn, then poses. A spectrum of astral and umbral forces collide with the elements themselves as it screeches through the roof of the lobby, bursting of light to blind all who look upon his being. By the retainer bell, a hyur female experienced in all manner of war, magic, hand, and land watches with her luminary sparkle and claps.


He has arrived and none shall be as fabulous as he. He leaves with a crew in toll, ascending the airship lift. His crew seize one of the Ironworks' airships and set off to spread fabulosity in a realm not unlike our own. Twelvespeed be with you vile brigandier.

OOC translation: Some people were RP'ing in Uldah's inn, Vile Brigandier witnesses it, gives them a piece of his mind, Thevedis watches, and Vile transfers to another server with a handful of people so the locations will be the same, the populace *may* be different.

So... thats roleplaying?

.. I've been in Besaid since launch and I've yet to find any TRUE RP's .. And if anything when playing other MMO's RP'ers ended up being the best players cause they want to get the best gear, the most skills, and be the ones with the highest levels. I for one do not "RP" but I do like to have a 'Matching' set of gear and hangout at the same spot while crafting. I think you sir are just trying to talk for/about people that you truly know nothing about.. specially as you aren't even in Besaid to begin with.

[Darkvalkyr]

The amount of irony is delicious. It feeds me.

On an unrelated note, I think I should make a topic about warning the people in that server that's gonna merge with mine who've excluded me for not having materia'd/ifrit gear.

So... thats roleplaying?

Nah. I just wanted to use Thevedis's Brigandier rainbow-fabulous picture.

Xeonerable, it's not what these people Besaid are making it out to be. It's not a me vs them thing and nobody (except me I think) are under attack by anyone. I got nothing against RP despite what they claim and I have no oooh fear of people talking.. lol to think. It's just overblown forum drama like everything else up here.

Whats even the point of this entire thread you've created? You've created drama, clearly have an issue with the people that decide to RP and shown the entire FFXIV community how much of a fool you are. Your kind isn't welcome anyways, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Dear Fabul,

I write to you a letter of caution when you are deciding your new home. Besaid is the unofficial Roleplay server for the FFXIV community. It has a much higher population of people who enjoy RP currently then any other server and will receive players transferring from other servers to Balmung in order to roleplay.

Most roleplayers will probably leave you alone but some will exclude you, some will make fun of you, some will kick you from party and some will shun people who do not roleplay. It's a fact, it happens to non-RP'ers on RP servers in every game. And it happens on Besaid currently. It's why most games label the servers RP. There are people who complain about the RP currently on Besaid and there are people on Besaid whom are glad that they can move to other servers. The only reason Besaid/Balmung isn't labeled RP now is because it wouldn't have enough population to support it.

You are free to make your own decision. Due to this and the above risk I've decided to avoid the Balmung server and decided to choose a more normal server for me and my group. Where as Balmung may be fine, there are many other fine servers that are just as good having all the positive elements that Balmung can offer and none of the negative elements. In other words FFXIV has a great culture and you will be welcomed anywhere just as much as you will be on Balmung. Personally for me, I don't really know if Balmung will be ok or not for non-RP but I just don't want to gamble on it. I'll just choose a normal server and continue to enjoy the current type of culture I've come to expect.

Thank you for taking the time to read and good luck in finding you new home, wherever it may be.

Kind Regards
