This poll was advertised back in early-mid June on Zam, Gamer Escape, beta forums (multiple places), AND the official XIV forums (Lodestone). All of those posts linked to the RPC's post, where it states that user registration would be disabled.
It is not our fault that people don't keep up to date on things. If you're completely new to the XIV universe and have never visited those sites before now (like I think Momoni is), great. We love new people and have done many many things to prove that. We hope you join us on Balmung and/or the secondary RP server. It's even easier because you can make multiple characters across servers!
That being said, I apologize if we are unable to please EVERYONE. We've bent over backwards as is. We've hosted more than one RP event aimed specifically at new players (and have more coming). We've set up a mentor program. We've barraged the welcome desk with greetings. We've pulled newcomers into the skype chatrooms. And we've setup a poll for a secondary RP server because that's what people were begging for about a month or so ago. And yet, all over the place, some people out there call us "elitists." They call us "condescending." They call us "controlling." They call us a lot of things. And we've done nothing but try to be welcoming and accommodating.
I apologize if this site isn't being run as some would like it. But it is a privately owned website. If some disagree so much with how it's managed, those parties are free to start their own site (though that would be sad to see...). THIS site's goal from day one when I first set out to organize it was to unite Rpers onto ONE server. We've already started to be accommodating with the coming of 2.0 by looking at a second server option. To ask us to go even further is a lot to ask.
Yes, it's called "Hydaelyn Role-Players." 'Cause that's what -I- chose to call it. It doesn't have some deep meaning behind the name.
This happened in the 1.0 poll. It happens in every other MMO's RP server selection. Can't please everyone. We are not shifting gears at this point. We're not adding a third of fourth server into the mix. If people wish to go to other servers, more power to them. We hope they change their minds later down the road and try to support the RP community as a whole.
