This is a really good point. In my experience as an MMO gamer (10 years, countless games. though my RP experience is severely limited), I've noticed that servers titled as official RP servers usually have a pretty low population, as most gamers today seem to only be interested in the actual on-the-surface gameplay for most MMOs, and RP is seen as a lame taboo by most of the college-aged frat kid closet-nerds who subscribe to MMOs (sad, but true in my experience. those guys suck, you guys are awesome though.)
As for me, I will be playing on Balmung, but possibly a month or so later than the rest of you. I will be playing ARR from launch, but I'll probably be playing with some RL friends (...who are actually pretty similar to the typical gamer i described in the last paragraph, now that i think about it...) until they inevitably get burned out after a few weeks to a month (their strategy is grinding to top level in a matter of days, getting bored because new games dont have years of end-game content yet, and quitting.) hopefully server transfers will be a thing. If they aren't, or if my friends continue to play, I'm just going to make a second A'sili Abarskyf on Balmung anyway. I've only been part of this community for a few days, but from the friendliness i've seen in the forums and the creativity i've seen on the wiki, it's definitely something i'd like to be a part of.
