[20:11]>> Banami Dalamani: yo, i'm here scouting for an FC considering transfering off balmung - is it cool if I ask you some questions about this server, or?
[20:12]Mirela Tralem bursts out laughing at Reilic Tralem.
[20:12]Banami Dalamani >> Sure! I will answer what I can. This is my alt but I've been keeping tabs on Mateus for a few weeks.
[20:13]Banami Dalamani >> I should warn you though that, Mateus is in a prototypical development stage like Balmung in 2.0 - 2.3. Thus, it's subject to inactivity should the RP community here collapse like Gilgamesh.
[20:14]>> Banami Dalamani: Thanks! What's the RP community like? Some members of my FC have dealt with the more toxic members of Balmung's RP community (sexual harassment, unwanted solicitation, etc.) and are sorta worried about all the worst parts of Balmung just shifting over here without any of the good.
[20:14]Banami Dalamani >> So your FC ought know that they will need to help keep the RP community alive. Much the same as people on Besaid/Balmung had to.
[20:15]Banami Dalamani >> Mateus has lately become a ground for expatriot Balmungers who want to start fresh, or away from people or FCs they despise. However, that is not the entire consensus. The general mood here is almost like the American Wild West. It's a place where you can actually develop, and where smaller FCs from Balmung will be able to grow due to not being stiffled by larger ones -
[20:16]Banami Dalamani >> RP wise, the community is fairly supportive and welcoming of Balmungers. Though, in the last few weeks since Square implemented server benefits it's population has blossomed significently. Leading to some confusion.
[20:17]You have entered a sanctuary.
[20:17]You have left the sanctuary.
[20:18]>> Banami Dalamani: Right, but I'm asking what the RP community is actually like - is the over-prevelance of fuckboys, overzealous ERPers, and creeps still a problem here? Or is it too early to tell?
[20:19]Banami Dalamani >> Thus far? No actually. It is very prototypical as said, but a general consensus seems to be that a lot of RPers transitioning to Mateus want to make real RP stories, long-term RPs and plot lines.
[20:20]Banami Dalamani >> This of course is subject to change. But if the current pattern stays as it is, we may have a situation like Wyrmrest and Moon Guard from WoW - wherein many of the RPers wanting a more serious, less toxic environment led MG for WrA in Mists of Pandaria expansion.
[20:20]>> Banami Dalamani: Awesome! Alright, thank you so much c: Only other big one they wanted me to keep an eye out for - do you know how the housing market is? If not, I can look into it!
[20:21]Banami Dalamani >> Houses are still readily available. Last night I checked The Goblet and lost count at 100 plots.
