II. What if…
This segment will be the meat of this entire discussion. The goal is to discuss every possible thing that could go wrong in our attempt to unite role-players under a single server. Some of these things may seem silly to discuss and you might say “oh that’ll never happen.†But keep in mind that up until the other day, we all thought PS3 and PC players would be starting together. A lot of things can go horribly wrong and our goal is to be prepared for each and every one of them even if the chances of a particular event happening seems near zero.
I guess I’ll go ahead and get you all started with the basics.
What if SE designates more than one RP server?
We all know that if SE gives us a RP server, we’ll gather on that. But what if they create more than one? The logical choice is to just vote between those RP servers as there simply isn’t enough Rpers to spread across two or more different servers. This is no World of Warcraft after all.
What if server selection is set up like FFXI’s was at the beginning?
I think this is unlikely but again, this is SE we’re dealing with. They like to change things at the last minute to shatter our hopes and dreams xD. If server selection is randomly assigned, we have to be prepared for a rather massive and fast-paced distribution of world passes. Instead of rushing off to start your first quests or leveling, we’d need to desperately mobilize every able body to collect world passes. We’d need -hundreds- of them after all.
