I must say that, while I understand the reasoning some people decide to go to a Non-Legacy server over a Legacy server, I do not agree with it as the gap between Legacy and Non-Legacy will be meaningless after a few months.
Having two unnoficial RP servers means there will be a lot of unreachebale people on the other side, with perfectly fine and interesting characters, stories and plots who will never meet with the others in-game. It's kind of sad.
Still, I understand the decision behind it.
I hope Squeenix will decide on implementing a dedicated RP server. My only hope right now is that they are waiting for the Legacy/Non-legacy gap is shortened so that all roleplayers won't have really many reasons to stick with their original servers. However, there's two problems with this hope: First, it assumes Squeenix is paying attention to the current mechanics of the roleplaying community, which I'm unsure if they are.
Secondly, if they wait some months after launch to implement it, roleplayers will still linger on their original servers and refuse to leave to the designated one, for the simple reason that they might have done non-roleplaying friends who see no reason to transfer, which in turn will mean the roleplaying friends won't want to transfer either because their RP partners are staying because of their non-RPing friends...you get the idea.
So I'm holding some hope, but it's an highly illogical hope.
