Final RP server selection [Should we all unite?] - Exovian - 07-15-2013
Since all servers are getting wiped, I'm assuming there is no such thing as a legacy server at this point? Maybe I am wrong and there will still be legacy servers with no wipe?
Anyway, if all servers are wiped, we're all starting from the bottom and we should all decide on one united server to play on so there are more people to roleplay with!
RE: Final RP server selection [Should we all unite?] - Aysun - 07-15-2013
The characters are being wiped, however the server selection will remain the same.
1.0 characters will still exist on Balmung.Balmung is the primary RP server. It's still considered legacy just because it is a 1.0 server carried over. For those who don't want to join a legacy server, there's the secondary RP server, Gilgamesh.
I would love a united server, but at this point some people have made it very clear that they do not want to play on a legacy server.

The wipe is for accounts made for beta cycles 1-3, and to imported 1.0 accounts (legacy or otherwise). 1.0 characters were saved at the end of 1.0, and will be re-imported from that original save for beta 4.
So anything 1.0 characters did after the final save is being wiped, but not the final save itself. 1.0 chars will be back in action as if beta's 1-3 never happened.

Well, it seems other people have beat me to telling you about the 1.0 characters, so I won't repeat it. Anyhow, I'd love a unified server, but it will only happen if SE names a server "RP". An official RP server is the only way I see us all being on one server together. There are people who just don't want to be on a Legacy server for one reason or another and that's okay. So yeah, that's the only way I see a unified server happening. MAKE IT HAPPEN, SQUARE ENIX!

Well, I can understand why they want to make 1.0 people happy, but you won't find me on a legacy server. There's no fun in that.

Considering the new player base is going to be like 80% bigger than the legacy players, anyone wanting a fresh start is going to want to RP on a non-legacy server if you ask me. Majority rules son.

There's pros and cons to both sides. Either way, we've got two servers for people to choose from now.

o_o Gilgamesh will be the same as any legacy server within a month of launch. People will have multiple 50s by then and there will be tons of gil in the economy..
A majority of the new RPers here will be joining us on Balmung because that is where the bulk of the RPC resides. Many of the 1.0 RPers are starting fresh on Balmung as well, and those who aren't are going to be helping our new people as much as we can. It is everyone's individual choice, and those who do not wish to start on Balmung can find a fine RP home with you on Gilgamesh.
Please let's not turn this thread into all the other server debate threads. The server selections are decided already, and we all know it's very unlikely that we'll ever end up united on one server again due to differences in opinions.

This. Please this.

Not every new player wants to start on a fresh start server, as mentioned above there are pros and cons to either side of the argument and no side is really right or wrong. In either case it doesn't really matter because a month or two after launch there won't be any difference between Legacy and Non-Legacy servers, both will have a stabilized economy, both will have their fair share of players who are at endgame. Six months after launch Yoshida has said there will be no such thing as Legacy servers because they'll be opening all servers for server transfer regardless of whether you are a 1.0 character or not.

I don't know if this has been posted but I would like to see official sponsored servers for RP. If you would too I'd suggest posting and liking this post in the feedback forums. Perhaps with enough of an outcry regarding this issue we'll get an answer from SE for RP flagged servers.

We've been after SE basically since the launch of 1.0 about an official RP server. Kylin's latest questioning of SE about it left us with the usual "we'll bring it up again" thing. SE is well aware that we want a RP server designated and we are constantly bothering them about it, but it just doesn't seem to be happening.

New roleplayer here, definitely going to Balmung.
RE: Final RP server selection [Should we all unite?] - Ashren Dotharl - 07-15-2013
If we do ever see an official RP designation on a server I doubt it'll be anytime soon, adding a tag to a server doesn't really change a lot, so it's likely at the bottom of their things to do list.

I enjoyed my time in Phase 3 on Gilgamesh, but that's largely due to the people I played with--not a single one of them staying on Gilgamesh beyond the non-RP Free Company I joined.
I already have IC ties with people, new and Legacy alike, who will be playing on Balmung. Wouldn't make sense not to go there.
