On to a more serious matter though; why July 1st? We have about a week left and I doubt any kind of side announcement such as an official-unofficial RP server is going to be pushed to the top of Yoshi's things-to-do list. With open beta probably not starting until early August I would suggest moving that poll to around then. It's not like anyone is going to be RPing while testing in the beta is going on and we're just twiddling our thumbs outside of the game.

That's the thing. It doesn't seem to be a big issue. One person has made it sound like it will be, and everyone responding to it has made it sound bigger than it really is.
And how would everyone leaving the server help? It forces Legacy players to start over, and keeps any loyal people to the alleged linkshells that don't necessarily agree, but have friends there and would like to stay, from getting to RP with the rest of the community.
But maybe I'm just selfish wanting all the RPers together :p So I have a larger community to be with. I still maintain that people should give a Balmung a shot, before declaring it a "cool kids" clique club of 1.0 RPers vs ARR RPers. Since I have seen no evidence that seems to be the case. The one linkshell that has been mentioned, was last edited in -April-. And I'd like to point out the last line of that recruitment message.

There is twenty-three linkshell posts (Unless I miss counted) and only one says they are not accepting new members. And the one, as I quoted above, is eager to RP with the greater RP community (Or most of the members). :)
