From what I'm seeing in the interest of the discords and what has been voted it's not going to be so, we need everyones co-operation to make this work. Hesitation will only make things worse. The best you can do is go for the choice that has been voted for, and that is all that is asked I would have thought if it were such a case. As this is a big opportunity. perhaps I'm missing the point of what you are saying though.
It's definitely possible. Naturally, if there's a server voted for by active people, the RPC's gonna try to promote that one the most, but our site goal is still to provide a place for all servers.
What I'm trying to say is that a server showing they're active and welcoming is far more important than the RPC or anywhere else posting a sign telling new people to go somewhere. Yes, we can direct traffic, but it won't stick if people just wallflower or don't want to invest in keeping communities on that server active and welcoming.
A Balmung waiting room is not ideal. (Which is a fear for the NA threads right now). But like the NA efforts, EU efforts are ultimately going to come down to whichever server looks the most active and the most welcoming. That means posts here, on tumblr, and elsewhere.
Showing activity is the best way to get noticed, in my opinion. That means things like IC posts, event threads, making connections posts, and just general activity by users on the forum whether promoting their server or not. Of course, if a server's missing from the prefixes or from the popular wiki templates that automatically add categories, just let me know and I can add them in most of the time. (The wiki's a bit of a pain, but I think I got it figured out. It's not my forte.)
