I know one member of my Free Company who seemed to have bad blood with the RPC and was vocal against it, but we've already talked to him about it. I know the one voice in dissension is always given more weight than many voices in assent, but I really don't think there are enough dissenters to constitute "many" by any means. Then again, I haven't been to the Beta forums for a bit due to real life escapades, so there could've been a random breakout of RPC hate originating from Behemoth for all I know, in which case, just disregard this as being misinformed. The "Anti-RP trolls" are grossly exaggerated this way, too. There was one main troll (that ended up getting suspended for those forum posts, actually) and a few that jumped on the train just for the hell of it. Considering it was the Beta forums where the vast majority of people don't RP or understand it, painting a giant red target on your back by posting about RP and ONLY attracting a few trolls seems pretty good to me. Gilgamesh wasn't getting a lot of flak 'cause the majority of conversation about it was constrained to an RP forum where RPers specifically gather. In the big scheme of things, though, it doesn't really matter. Gilgamesh was pretty much destined to be the non-Legacy RP server for RPC and I'd accepted that. I just think the closed registration sent the wrong message and slammed the door on potential new members. I understand the reasoning behind not wanting to "give a forum section" to people who aren't signed up on RPC, but that didn't seem to take account those that WOULD sign up for RPC if the server they were involved with was represented on this site. I admit those are hypothetical scenarios, though, as there very well could've been zero new registrations from the beta forums due to their preferred server being chosen. Main point is, if those outside of the RPC had been allowed to have a voice in the matter, they'd have probably accepted the whole thing even if the results hadn't gone their way, but since you took away their voice instead, it seems like it just put them up in arms unnecessarily and left a sour taste in their mouth, even if it's plain to see their choice wouldn't have won anyway. Anyway, like I said, I didn't have a horse in this race. I'm just being the devil's advocate here. Personally, I'm still trying to convince my Free Company to go to Balmung. X.x Anyways, congrats Gilgamesh! We still cool, right? Right?

I think we'll just have to cross that road when we get there. What I've seen in other RP communities that weren't sure if server names were changing is that they'd announce the unofficial Beta server, then just say something like: "In the event of a server rename, the unofficial RP server will be the first NA server that starts with the letter B moving up." Or something to that effect. So, if you make a rule like that, that put Balthier at the top of the queue in case of server renames! >.> Then again, if the don't make a Balthier server you might get stuck on something like "Bartz" server. |

Decided to close the poll on the Beta forum as well. Behemoth and Gilgamesh have similar population numbers (quite a few people on Behemoth did not vote on the poll on this website), so I believe it's best to include them when recommending a server to any new players who don't want to roll on a Legacy server.

I will be recommending Balmung as the unofficial RP server and Gilgamesh as an alternate server for those who do not want to play on a legacy server. |

Now that the voting is over, would it be in our best interest to start luring people onto these forums?
This is assuming that registration's opened back up to the public. I'd love to get some interested RP'ers over onto these boards from other sites/communities. |

Grats Gilgamesh!
*still hoping all this is moot and there will be a dedicated non-Legacy RP server* My LS's concern is that Balamung will fill up before we all get in... so worst case scenario, I want to go where there will still be a very strong RP showing... aka SE dedicated RP server (with anti-griefing and naming rules, please... I've had enough of 'creative' names in my derping about in NW to last me a lifetime). LOL |

I think it's worth pointing out that only 72 people voted, and the RPC has over 1,000 members. Even if only a third of that number checks the forums from time to time, you're still going to see roughly 4-5x more Rp'ers on Balmung that Gilgamesh. I don't mean this as a disparagement against the duly elected alternate server, just an observation.
