  • I have no preference so long as it is a non-Legacy server. (Wildcard)

-IMPORTANT-
Please do not vote unless you are planning to make one of these non-Legacy servers your primary roleplaying server. You will not be able to change your vote after it is cast, so please read the rules and guidelines below first and vote carefully.

First and foremost, we'd like to remind everyone that the RPC does not require any of its members to play on any server that they do not want to play on. There is a reason the Linkshell Hall allows you to put anything you wish into the "Server" field so long as it is a Final Fantasy XIV server. The only reason we have an unofficial roleplaying server at all is because most roleplayers want the largest, most cohesive community possible. The purpose of this poll is to help us gauge how many members of the RPC are interested in a non-Legacy server instead.

This poll will be open for exactly 24 hours from July 1st 1pm ET to July 2nd 1pm ET. (Countdown at top of post) In the interest of fairness, we will be checking the votes for duplicate accounts. Member registration will be temporarily disabled until the poll is over to prevent cheating and to ensure that everyone who votes is at least interested in being a part of the RPC community.

We will also not allow votes to be changed after they are cast. In past server polls, the ability to change your vote led to quite a lot of drama and hurt feelings. We'd like to avoid that this time around.

If you do not have a preference, but you know that you will roll on whatever non-Legacy server is chosen, you have the option to cast a "wildcard" vote. At the end of the poll, all the "wildcard" votes will be combined with the server that has the most votes. In order to be selected, any given server has to have more than 40 votes (about 4.1% of registered users on the RPC) total once the wildcard votes are added to it. We feel that if a server has 40 forum members behind it, it will be worth the effort to support its own event forum as a secondary server even if said members become inactive in the future.

Once the voting is finished, the server with the highest vote count will be awarded the "wildcard" votes. For example, if the Adamantoise server wins with 21 votes, and there are 16 people who voted "no preference (wildcard)", the total votes for for Adamantoise would become 37. Adamantoise would win the poll, but would fail to get the 40 votes required. The result of this poll will be final, barring mitigating circumstances, so please do not be upset if your server is not chosen.

In the interest of community cohesion, Balmung will remain the primary server (again, barring mitigating circumstances) and we will continue to recommend it to those who prefer to be where the largest gathering of roleplayers are, but for those who— for whatever reason— do not wish to join a legacy server, we will recommend the secondary non-Legacy server.

The RPC resources will still be available to all communities on all servers as it has always been, but we cannot be expected to maintain a separate event subforum for every one of them.

That said, we hope everyone has a good day today, whatever the outcome of this poll. Thank you!

Just to clarify... People who plan on going to Balmung shouldn't vote on this right?

RE: Secondary RP Server (Please read before voting!) - Myavar - 07-01-2013

Anyone who already plans on going to Balmung is not supposed to vote. This is for people who want a different, non-legacy, server.

What about the folks or groups that are for Balmung up until the point the server is too full or folks can't get over there? Especially with it still being a crowded status, its hard to say what may or may not happen in 2 months with Balmung.

Correct, if you are going to be staying on Balmung, just ignore the poll and go on with your life.

All I can ask is that an agreement is made. For the sake of putting everyone together and based on a thread I just read on the official beta boards I will be voting on Leviathan to help the rp community that is going there.

Just remember all, two strong servers are better than four weak ones (aside from Balmung which I know will be strong at launch). Wherever we choose lets do it with the thought of making a solid second choice server. Again I plan on doing a first day server rp event at launch for whatever secondary server wins to help start it off with a good foundation and lay down a good feel for the server. Those interested in helping after the voting is over are more than welcome to help out.

We'll cross that bridge when and if we get to it. For now, if you're plan is to use Balmung as your primary server, we ask that you please refrain from voting.
