I agree with most of what has been said here. In general, nobody should care about how someone else is playing their character. It doesn't matter if you or I think that leveling is a waste of time, or if standing around talking to friends is a waste of time... PS is for all to enjoy who are not being belligerent (OOC) or disruptive.
To give some background on your original question about the second server... The issue that cropped up really bad a few months ago before the EzPC server was brought online was that there was extreme intolerance on one side of this debate... and extreme indifference on the other. It got so bad that the forums were filled with thread after thread about the elitists around hydlaa and the <fill in favorite expletive here> players who had nothing better than to annoy them by carrying weapons in the tavern or simply spinning in circles, mining for platinum... or Talad forbid, asking for help with the interface to the game in the "main" tab... *gasp*!! Yes, I was annoyed by the attitudes I encountered both in-game and on the forums. When I started playing, going on two years ago, many players were very helpful and showed me around, introduced me to the "game". A few months later, I was helping out anyone who looked lost/confused and had several people who would ask me about the game. This, in my opinion, is how it should be. The GMs should only have to be bothered for major disputes or game glitches, players should be counted on to help other players. What really started to annoy me was the fact that obviously new players were being chastised publicly for asking questions or were simply ignored. There was a very elitist attitude that was prevalent concerning anyone who would bother to try to use mechanics... I'll stop here... I am sure you get the point.
Most players were middle of the road gamers that interacted with other players IC-ly and went about training whatever skills suited them at the time. But, to be honest, there were a handful of players that specifically went out of their way to annoy the die-hard RPers and it escalated to the point the devs decided to spawn a new server. Unfortunately, the most vocal of the extremists were making the devs lives even more hectic than normal and people were getting tired of dealing with the rift between segments of the player base. They decided that two servers was the best solution with the fewest drawbacks at the time. Judging by the forum traffic, I would say things are at least marginally better now, but that may be due more to forum policy enforcement than to actual in-game changes in player attitude.
Well, I hope this puts things in a better context for you. This is not an attempt to start, yet another, flame war about RP vs PL. Take it for what it is worth.
