Server Selection Part 2: "What if's?"
As a community we have discussed at length our official stance on selecting a server. It seems we are in agreement about starting on a Roleplay specific server over a Non-Roleplay server given the possibility. Just to make sure this is what the majority has agreed upon I will put up a poll in this post so we can get a show of hands on the subject once and for all. However, if you have any additional thoughts on the subject of server selection please post in the appropriate thread.
"What if's?"
Now that is well underway to being finished, we can focus on and plan for any eventualities that may occur. Several people have already posted "What if?" situations on the forums that need addressing and while they are excellent thoughts it seems we're barely scratching the surface of the issue.
Below is a list of "What if?" situations members have voiced that we as a community must address. Please feel free to add any other concerns you can think of for discussion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. How do we select a server if the names have not been released yet?
2. What if the server selection is random?
3. What if Friend Passes for server selections are more expensive then a starting character can afford?
4. What if SE designates more than one RP server?
5. What if we end up with more RP'ers then the server can handle?
6. What if due to some conflict/misunderstanding/confusion/etc one more more guilds ends up on different servers?
7. What if our promotional efforts don't work and we fail to mobilize Roleplayers to our servers?
8. What if we end up on a server that has a bias against Roleplayers?
9. What if a significant amount of Roleplayers cannot convince their friends to join the same server we select as a group?
