Well, now that we have more info with the release dates and have had time to think over some of this...
I think it would be in our best interest to have a poll no matter what happens. Some people might be furious that they don't even get a chance to vote on the unofficial RP server. The collector's edition people will have access to the servers before the rest of us. Thus what could happen if we don't have server lists released before then is:
Someone who bought the collector's edition immediately puts up the poll with the entire server list (I would have various safeguards in place already to prevent abuse of the voting system). The poll would last for a mere 24 hours (no time to waste since people are already playing the game). For those not familiar with how voting here works, we usually leave formal polls up for 7 days. That wouldn't be a viable option in this scenario though. After the 24 hours ends, the winning server would become the unofficial RP server. Those who have to reroll shouldn't have an issue in doing so since it's only been 1 day since they started playing (and most of that day would probably be spent downloading the game and update patch
).
I personally think it would be best to just forget about choosing the server closest to a certain letter or a certain number on the list. A short 24 hour vote would be much better. Of course, people would be warned a week in advance before this via mass email if we don't have server lists made public by that point.
Objections? Did I even make any sense? >.>
