Does it seem like it could remain steady for years and be like Balmung? Or does it seem like it could go the way of Gilgamesh and just end up merging back into Balmung before long? (Or maybe my hypothesis about Gilgamesh is right and there isn't an issue about that...)
Is it active? Can I walk into frequented Balmung RP places on Mateus and find RP? Or is it more hidden from public?
Not trying to crush dreams or anything. Just want to know the validity of switching RP servers.
Active: While smaller than Balmung on the community scale, there are several FCs and the majority of the community committed to making Mateus work, There's is plenty of RP happening all around, and I suspect as the excitement of the new expansions content simmers down there will be plenty more.
I honestly don't see the Mateus group remerging with Balmung on a whole, sure you may have a few stragglers go back should that option become available, but I think over all many of us are in it for the long haul. That's the impression the Mateus RP Hub Discord gives at least. (you can find a link to it in the Player Directory.)
I see a lot of RP in public at the moment, there's also a few player run taverns in the housing districts.
The only con at the moment are prices for things are higher, but again as people get done leveling jobs, I'm sure more crafting will happen and those prices will slowly decline.
