Abandonment Issues

Lately I've been spending a lot of time on the Moon Guard server, even going so far as to make my first transfer -ever-, sending a druid from Venture Co. to Moon Guard. I'm enjoying myself for the most part but I feel a sense of guilt for leaving the server I've been playing on for near three years.

I've wandered back to Venture Co occasionally over the past two months only to find my RP guild there falling apart and RP in general having trouble. Is this a symptom of every RP-PvP server, to be taken over by non-RPers?

I guess I will have to do my best to remember the golden age of my old home (though I use that term loosely, as I still made alts everywhere else), when the server was new and had not been invaded by a bunch of 'pro' raiding guilds who apparently couldn't hack it on their home server, and came to VeCo to be the big fish in the little pond.

But I'm not bitter.

In any case, I'm hoping to convince some friends from there to transfer over. There are still lots of RPers on Venture Co, but RP has gone the way of Christianity during Roman rule: it's done in secret and only among certain groups. Never in public, either.
