Moar! Some of this is overlapping from previously stated things, just in added details. But there are some new tidbits in them, including a reference to future pvp.

Opening trailer for the game revealed! ! New interview info! This comes from Core and I think it was a translation but not sure.

Can you believe it was only about 2 weeks ago that we announced the 500 mark? Now we're at a full 700! And of course, in honor of this event...a new smiley! :cactuar: I've also edited the chocobo smiley so it's now an animation! :chocobo:

Due to my obsession with neatness and organization, each active RPC RP group is getting a "free" bump in order to move the disbanded and/or withdrawn groups to the bottom of the list. This makes it slightly easier for new potential RPers to better find a group. I am bumping the active groups in the order that they currently are listed as. This particular post will be deleted when/if the linkshell gives another LS announcement to serve as a "replacement bump." Please do not respond directly to this post.

::Looks to his left, where the bed is:: Guess a blanket? Maybe a pillow? Woohoo... Off topic but grats Tadir on being the first to reach 1,000 posts :approve:

The attached dramatic post has been removed. KoC has "formally" withdrawn from the RPC and is apparently switching servers completely. Main site advertisement has been removed. Council status also removed.

I'll try to be there since I'm itching for actual RP interactions right now. However, I'll probably bring my Town Square character (Myra) since I can't think of any valid reason Castiel would go to this event (hurray for still being rich and semi-stuck up!). But her story could perhaps be about him ^^. Hope to see a nice turnout!

I figure this deserves its own topic. We originally had a Facebook page for the RPC but Renaise was forced to take it down due to complaints issued to Facebook. This was possibly due to the NDA. Regardless, our main site has had a Facebook button on it for a long time now that leads to nowhere. Personally, I don't use Facebook at all in any form. But I realize some people prefer to use that to keep up on things such as announcements and whatnot. So my question is, is anyone willing to setup another RPC Facebook page? You are asked to help keep it updated though and not abandon it mysteriously. It would be best to assign 2-3 page managers for it just in case 1 disappears or starts neglecting it. Things that should be posted on it are the basic necessities (Besaid = RP server, link to site, etc) as well as future announcements. Announcements include major RPC updates, new Tonberry's Lantern issues, major events (Epic, etc), and so on.

The typing limit is atrocious. It drives me batty. As for the reply (space, ctrl + R), it needs fixed. It seems to only work right now AFTER you send a tell at least once to said person. So for instance, in order to reply to Tadir, I would first have to type out "/t Tadir West blah blah." After I've done that, THEN the reply command starts to work for him. It's really annoying. You should be able to reply to any tell sent to you without typing the name first, just like in FFXI.

Guys, please lock your open/request threads when they're done. It's too confusing to those who may want to jump into a thread and not know if it's done or not. All authors have the ability to lock threads when they are complete. When in your thread, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and you'll see a lock option on a drop down menu. Of course, be sure to give participants time to exit the scene before locking it on them though. I went ahead and locked all open/request threads that haven't seen a reply in about a month. If you wish to revive it, please contact a mod to have it unlocked again.

Contacting SE directly is easier said than done. If I knew how to, I would have tried long ago. Simply contacting customer support isn't the way to go. You have to contact their community representatives. I don't know how to do so. Unless one of the major fan sites are willing to give me an email address of one of the community people, I'm not sure how we could create a direct path to them.

It's official. No more whining about a revote. Gotta keep SE in the loop and a revote would really hurt that >.>

To reply to a tell, you can hit spacebar and then ctrl + R (thanks Jakky!). Unfortunately, this is only working for me after I've sent that person a tell at least once beforehand manually.

I love how so many people completely underestimate us as "easy targets." As if we don't know how to call a GM and get a griefer's account banned. :roll:

I suppose the responses we're getting here (and on the other big sites) should have been expected. Either way though, nothing is changing regarding server choice unless something drastic happens between now and launch. We'd have the same drama if we chose any other server as well, probably moreso if there were other large communities going to the same one.

Unless there's a huge call for a revote before release, I don't see it happening. It would only potentially splinter the community, which is something we definitely want to avoid. Not to mention, our decision is now advertised on the front page of Eorzeapedia, Core, and soon Zam. So a revote would cause mass confusion >.>;

Love how they had to wait until RIGHT after our server vote :lol:

There's no way we can ever please everybody. For every server name, there's at least one person out there who hates it no matter the circumstances. I'll be honest. I too don't care for the name "Besaid." But that's beside the point. We had a vote, it won, and now we have a central place for role-players to gather. And that's the most important thing above all else.

As the title implies, the RPC's vote has named Besaid as the unofficial RP server. Lindblum is the "overflow" RP server. This means if Besaid ever becomes overpopulated, this is the other server to go to until another solution is worked out. Congrats on our new home!

Technically 6 minutes to go but I wanted to end this poll at 11 on the dot. Sooo... Congratulations! We've just named our official unoffiical RP server. Besaid will now be considered the permanent home of the RPC. Lindblum will serve as the overflow server (if needed). Thanks everyone for making this such a smooth process! There were some minor tensions here and there but I think we did fairly well overall and came together in the end. Pat yourselves on the back and help get the word out about our new home. Council: Be sure to let your respective linkshells know. Mods: Be sure to edit any necessary stickies with the relevent info.

50 minutes and counting! Got the message ready to send out and everything. Looks like Besaid will definitely take it, unless 13 or more people who haven't voted yet suddenly show up and and turn the tide (which is unlikely at this point).

I don't think it's about isolation so much as wriggle room. The servers will no doubt even out eventually. But for now, I think people want to make sure a server will actually fit all of us on it without having to use an overflow server.
