Â Of course there will be. Â We realize we can't stop that and we don't really try to. Â But within this community, I believe it would be against the purpose and the mission of the RPC to cater to a multiple server approach. Â It is not what the RPC was established to do. Â The defense against the idea of multiple RP servers stems from wanting to avoid having several communities spread out across multiple servers.
If it's against the purpose and mission of the RPC to cater to a multiple server approach, might as well call this site Roleplayers of Balmung. If this site is truly a hub for Roleplayers of the Final Fantasy XIV, then we have to accept and support other fellow Roleplayers' decisions no matter the size of their communities. I think it's to that point that we need to start adapting to the change we are seeing.
As I've and many other people have said, there have been groups that have advertised here that were never on Besaid/Balmung. Â There will be more such groups in the future. Â As you can see when you submit the request to make a linkshell, you specify what server it is on. Â It doesn't have to be Balmung, and it has never had to be Balmung. Â
Kylin and many others have asked pointedly what it is that those who would like to start on a new server would specifically like from the RPC. Â We're trying to help out, but so far I haven't seen anyone offer suggestions on what they want to see happen. Â We're pretty much sold on RPers being able to come and have a presence here while being on a server. Â This has been confirmed several pages ago, and it's been the policy to involve everyone who wants to be involved in the past. Â But seeing as their still seems to be debate about it, can people who are in favor of a new player RP server please tell us what it is that you would like to see the RPC do for you?
Now of course all of that is moot if rp servers are designated by Square Enix.
