*You have 1 vote.
*Poll will remain open for exactly 24 hours.
*Results will remain hidden for the first 2 hours in order to ensure a "fair start." Those who wish to simply vote with the majority should wait until the hidden effect of the poll wears off before voting.

*Secondary forum accounts are temporarily disabled.
*Forum registration is currently set to admin approval only.

*2nd place server in the poll will become the overflow server. That means if the RP server gets overloaded and locked down, the overflow server is where the rest of the RP community will go until something can be worked out.
*Poll results are final. Do not whine after the results that the server name is lame. Regardless of any drama here or on any other site, the chosen RP server will remain the same.
*In the event of a tie, the RPC Council will hold a vote to break it.
*Due to the fact that this vote is happening during Open Beta, participants will have to reroll after the vote (delete character and recreate). This can not be avoided. Fortunately, you can skip the opening CS anyway. Thus, rerolling should not be an issue.

*If you see a similar RP server poll on Core, please contact Cerulean Shaman immediately. He will shut it down.
*If you see a similar RP server poll on any other site, please direct them here.
*Please keep an eye on the beta forums as well (assuming they're still up). Someone may try to create some kind of informal poll there.

*Moderators: Please move any other server selection poll created to the Council Chambers for removal. Only one poll topic should exist on these forums.
*Council: Please mobilize your members as needed. Also be sure to properly announce the winning server (and overflow server) after the vote concludes.

If you have the time, you may want to start holding off on voting until tomorrow now. We already have over 20 votes in less than 10 minutes xD. Now's a good time to wait to see where the other communities are going first. So if you have time to vote tomorrow, that may be the best option!

43 votes cast already >.>

We decided to keep it secret? Booo I want to see what people are voting for.

Only for the first two hours. I believe 1am EST is when we'll be able to see the results, but as Castiel says, we're waiting to hear where larger communities are organizing.

And the server names that are released now....is it confirmed that there will be no other servers listed?

The post on the beta boards says this is the list "as of Sept. 1st", so its likely that there will be more opened up, but I really don't see much point in holding out for additional servers that may or may not open up.

People have been able to ping 20 servers, so there are probably more. 10 servers at launch is kinda... poor to say the least.

Unfortunately, most of those servers would come at launch, or during Open Beta which does us little good since the server selected will be finalized before any additional servers will ever be added.

Okay...wasn't expecting such a huge voter turnout already. So I think the "fair start" is pretty well over. Revealing the results early >.>

I would have to agree wholeheartedly. There is no point in waiting for an additional 10 or so servers to be listed at the present time. If it becomes a concern down the road towards the end of OB, then it may become possible to rethink everything, but even then it would seem to be not worth it.

I can just feel the love for Final Fantasy IX. And I love it.

If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if these initial servers got filled up pretty quickly. Consequently, that would force all of the PS3 RP'ers (there are still many of us as well) into the overflow server....oh...wait the overflow is going to be a part of the original 10, so it'll probably be filled up too. Sounds like the PS3 RP'ers could very well end up being stuck on a non-RP server. Baka

I think we outa stick to these 10, mostly cause they are the starters and probably most people will flex out to others.

Don't get too far ahead of yourself now. Keep in mind that the PS3 release is going to be a whole half of a year after the PC release. I'd be almost certain that by that point, any sort of overflow on servers will have simply self-corrected itself as people bounce around servers to find others they may have missed joining up with at the start, and other people simply leaving the game.

Remember to keep an eye on the news room, although Lindblum is our current lead, it may also be Core's new home.
