I don't think keeping us away from our home-server's discussions is a good idea, and while I haven't even been playing yet (waiting on a new motherboard to come in), I've had the unfortunate experience through other games to realize that, even in a designated RP server, it seems like the regular players are always against us. So I also want to say it won't matter.
But, I don't know the community in FF14 in general, and I don't know Besaid's community either, but I'm going to wager it's the same anti-RP jokes as it is everywhere else (if it comes up): Cyborz and Vampires and Vampire Cyborz. Wait, this game has cat-people, so Cyborz and Cat-people, and Cat-people Cyborz. So the general worry should be no different between servers, unless if the People of Besaid actually care/acknowledge the RPC's existence more than another.
Agreeing on a solid place for us to roam is important, but I think the ultimatum is your RP friends vs your non-RP friends. Check it: Guilds are going to stick together, either based on some server-wide discussion or internal discussion. The alternative is if there's any kind of announcement to find out the server names before the merge. Besaid will most likely be Besaid, in this instance and I'm confident in saying the server's population will mostly stay, while some will take advantage of the free transfer service. Considering that your non-RP friends are most likely in their own guild, they are going to follow their guild, and you will follow yours (or at least go with their/your general consensus of friends).
This makes things slightly complicated, especially without a designated RP server, and even worse because of SE's handle on this.
Apologies for using non-FF14 terms...replace 'guild' with...Linkshell...I think?
And as for my Vote...I still don't even know...It's crazy SE's handling a server merge like this and just not merging low-population servers either with medium ones or just each other, Either way, there will be complaints, but disheveling everyone who's comfy isn't the way to go. Because of this, I find this poll just and otherwise appropriate. This is unavoidable. We have to choose, and it's as complicated as picking a number 1-10
