Reassessing the Merger of FFXIV Worlds (02/13/2012)
- The world merger plans have been changed. It does not look like there is any danger of the RP community being split up so long as none of us elect to voluntarily apply to move to another world.
A large portion of this first post is no longer relevant. There is, however, still discussion of persuading the developers to officially suggest a roleplaying world.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...post560925 - A community representative has confirmed that a roleplay server will be available come v2.0.
Lodestone Reference: About the World Merge and Character Transfers (02/09/2012)
Obviously, the fact that we won't know which server will be Besaid until after the merger - however likely it is that the name Besaid will be sticking around - means if we're going to be keeping Final Fantasy XIV's role-play community together, we (the community at large, rather than the RPC alone of course) are going to have to pick which server the majority of us ought be trying to gather on and be advising everyone else to try and gather on as well.
That is, assuming Square Enix don't go back on this silly plan and pre-emptively announce the world names. In which case, well: no harm no foul I suppose.
Everyone who's willing, do please make everyone aware of what's happening, and of this thread, that you can? Thanks!

Server Merge Solution: How we, as a community, can resolve this dilemma
World Merger Organization?
There appears to be something of a consensus starting to form on the official forums that the unofficial role-play server/'New Besaid' ought be New World 9.
Whatever the result of this poll, it's probably important that we take into account the prevailing decision there and consider if we ought bow to it, given the official forums are the more widely viewed community.
EDIT: Poll removed after a day with no-one suggesting reasons not to. New World Merger plans have negated the need for it, leaving it up would only risk needlessly confusing people down the line.
