Mason, I believe that what you describe is certainly one of the main points of the RPC, but if there do end up being multiple RP servers designated by Square-Enix (doubtful), or if people do end up forming RP groups on other servers (practically inevitable), then I don't think we should simply write off the RPC as a failure. There will still be our core RP groups that we have been working on for quite some time now, and I think it's clear that we are all in agreement on wanting to be on the same server, so even if further on down the line someone does start a RP group on another server, the RPC will still be invaluable to those of us who are collaborating on this project, if that makes sense.
I think we would be doing ourselves a great disservice to suggest the RPC "failed" in any way if not all RP groups ended up on the same server. We cannot control what every guild leader decides to do, and we shouldn't try to. If someone decides they want to forge off on their own and create a roleplay guild on Server X while all the RPC groups are over on server Y, well then good for them. They probably won't have very many members, since I imagine the majority of RPers will want a rich community like ours, but I'm sure there will be a few. And shouldn't those RPers that chose a different server due to friends/family non-RPers also feel like an extended part of our community?
I understand the fear of being too spread out, but we should work to strengthen the community, not cut it off.
