As one of the "old guard" folks who came from 1.0's Besaid community, there really is something else that was not brought up.

The mighty "we" I will be using is a general term. I am not speaking for everyone.

When 2.0 came out and people started talking about a secondary RP server, I was one of the ones who was vehemently against it. Fracturing the RP community was absolutely incomprehensible to me. The RPers absolutely had to stick together or we'd never make it. Why? Because 1.0's RP community was SO SMALL and that was all I knew. I had no idea that this community would need to be fractured. I could never have imagined a community as large as what we have now.

The mindset of a united community being necessary took time to shake off for a lot of us I imagine, not just me. We were also comfortable where we were, and just unconcerned maybe. In that time, Gilgamesh tried and failed, we kept encouraging people to just transfer onto Balmung as the windows of time where character creation was available shrunk and disappeared.

We did act too late to encourage new people to begin growing a new community. Absolutely. We're trying to do that now, but somehow sending people to the new chosen servers is not enough support? I don't have time to make an alt and invest myself on another server (though I did make my character on Mateus for visiting) and like many others, I'm not leaving my home on Balmung to help a small community grow, as much as I want to see them succeed.

The character lock blindsided everyone. We're trying to do what we can now that SE has forced our hands. There will be people who transfer their mains to the smaller servers. A place to start fresh, to help grow something, but don't come after those of us who can't. It's not like we're not trying to be supportive in other ways.

(When the new format comes around for the RPC, I imagine it is going to be very multi-server friendly too and will help grow these smaller communities!)
