At this point, the community looks like it's going split in some capacity no matter what anyone does. The issue before us now is by how much.
EDIT: As far as the July 1st deadline, I'll be sure to ask Kylin about the reasoning behind it if he doesn't address it by the end of the day.
Hopefully, I get this right. Ellie, that's exactly what I've been thinking all along. Many folks are afraid of how bad the split might be, or how much of a headache it is going to be. Believe me, I had a massive headache last week over this much discussed topic. Originally, some of the folks coming with me were asking about a new server. Another group of friends where I met them were on Balmung.
We talked often about what our plans were, and it came to the crossroads of what's the best interest for folks. It was a massive headache, wasn't any drama. I finally just asked my guys and their guys what they want to do, and we decided to go on Balmung, it'll be more challenging anyway getting going than it would in a non-legacy. So we had no problem switching or changing decisions, that's kind of how my guys are. We're relaxed.
However, I also see potential issues that are just unknown to us that part of me has to look at. My earlier fears are new folks being unable to join down the road if they don't get in right away because of queues. I'm hoping with the legacy/server thing this won't be an issue now, we'll see.
The big question that I'm settling on, that leaves me very much concerned. What if SE decides to label a non-legacy server RP. That's going to hurt -everyone- in some way. The only way they could reach happy medium is a fresh server that allows x amount of days for legacy to switch over and then after that only new characters. Seems like alot of work on SE to try to appease everyone.
