Since everybody seemed to not read what Crow mentioned, why not just wait until they announce it or put it in the open beta about what servers are gonna be official rp servers instead of just waiting and then suddenly, "NO ANNOUNCEMENT STILL?! Fawk Yoshi-p we're going to make Balmung our official server?"
Why not just go to Balmung, wait until the game ACTUALLY comes out then if they do an official server and it's NOT Balmung, just stay on Balmung or move to the official server they created? If that even makes sense, and I hope it doesn't sound mean.
And besides, no matter HOW high everyone is right now, their characters are most likely going to be wiped before Open Beta or before the game is officially out anyone which means, EVERYONE is going to have to start over regardless.
Furthermore and I'm probably just ranted now and I STILL hope this doesn't sound like I'm being mean or being stubborn or being high and mighty or whatever it is you guys want to call it, WHY are we even FUSSING about this when NOBODY knows for SURE yet? Yeah there are beta rp events going on and SOME people don't even HAVE beta so SOME people can't even come, so why is this making people all "what if-y about everything now anyways?
I think we're strictly talking about the FF14 1.0 characters that will be transferred to the legacy servers.. People won't be losing much o.o

And how would everyone leaving the server help? It forces Legacy players to start over, and keeps any loyal people to the alleged linkshells that don't necessarily agree, but have friends there and would like to stay, from getting to RP with the rest of the community.
But maybe I'm just selfish wanting all the RPers together :p So I have a larger community to be with. I still maintain that people should give a Balmung a shot, before declaring it a "cool kids" clique club of 1.0 RPers vs ARR RPers. Since I have seen no evidence that seems to be the case. The one linkshell that has been mentioned, was last edited in -April-. And I'd like to point out the last line of that recruitment message.

There is twenty-three linkshell posts (Unless I miss counted) and only one says they are not accepting new members. And the one, as I quoted above, is eager to RP with the greater RP community (Or most of the members).
Gonna go off topic a bit to shed light on one of the technical standpoints here.. why is the term linkshell being brought up so often and spoken so highly of? Isn't it just a group-chat system? Did it have a greater purpose in 1.0?
