Plus, I think we're all capable of being the bigger people here. I think we can ignore a few trolls.

Don't know anything about the Reddit situation so I can't comment on that >.>
As for the the Behemoth issue...it's possible that it /could/ surpass Gilgamesh in votes over there. But it's something we're not going to fuss over. Many of the Behemoth crew have outright stated that they want nothing to do with the RPC many times now. So giving an events subforum to a group who won't even use it at all would just be silly >.>;
Edit: This is all of course assuming something doesn't drastically change in the poll before it ends...which seems highly unlikely at this point.

Eventually if you let people speak and not try to shush them, they will shush themselves because they will have gotten it all out)
I think the reason a lot of people are tired of it just comes down to the simple fact that the points have been made already, and no one likes the idea of the roleplaying community being further subdivided. One of the biggest things I love about FFXIV is the strength of this community, the same one that has produced a lot of awesome relationships, interplay, and character development over the course of the game's life.
The people who don't want to go to a Legacy server don't want to be burdened with an existing community. The people who are already on the Legacy server and really have no alternatives but to remain there don't want to lose out on new RP companions. It's a situation wherein there's no real way to win once one side becomes convinced that the community is entrenched and the other side becomes convinced that there's no reason to not want a Legacy server.
Me, I'm not happy about splitting the roleplaying community, but it's not my decision, and we've got the decided minority now. So if you really didn't want a Legacy server, I hope you have fun when the game goes live, and I'm sorry we won't get a chance to play together.

It's pretty straightforward. /r/ffxiv went through a similar process and elected Gilgamesh as their official server, so the majority of people from reddit are rolling there, and every time a new person shows up asking for a server recommendation they get pointed to Gilgamesh.

This reminds me of the SWTOR-RP main server vote.
See, SWTOR had a pre-launch Guild thing going on. Guilds would be arbitrarily assigned to random servers of the selected type (RP-PvE, RP-PvP, PvE, or PvP) but there was a trick to it. Each guild could select one allied guild and one enemy guild, so many guilds that were outside of the SWTOR-RP community made a chain of guilds linked by being allies or enemies as a way to select their own main server.
Meanwhile, and unaware, SWTOR-RP had all the guild leaders decide on how to select the community's main server and they decided it would be a vote.
So people voted... and it turned out that the winning server was different than the one the Chained RP Guilds all ended up on!
So naturally, some folks from the Chained RP Guilds came over and tried to "convince" the SWTOR-RP community to join their server and ignore their vote.
And naturally, the SWTOR-RP folks said no way, we voted, we'll go where people voted to go.
And then, as the imperials say sith happened. Drama! Hate mail! Threats and insults!
Oh the humanity!

I wish all the servers starting their own thing the best of luck, I hope it prospers. Just glad honestly that one thing is over with for now, I just hope SE doesn't decide to troll us with like 2 RP preferred servers... otherwise

No, those will be deleted. Phase 4 characters should transfer, however.

You won't be exactly kicked off, it's just that all our characters will disappear.
Except the Legacy ones.

I was not aware of any kind of push back from the Behemoth server over RPer's. Could you provide some sort of link/thread?

Ah what the hell. I'll also vote for Girugamesh.
RE: Secondary RP Server (Please read before voting!) - CalemvirLucin - 07-01-2013
Why does everyone want gilgamesh so bad?! I thought alot of the beta rpers on that server are going over to balmung? A lot of the RP'ers on the beta forums want behemoth, as do I!
