I think the wisdom of choosing another server to start cultivating RP in is that IF Squeenix decides to implement server transfers on time, and IF they decide to make them free for a period of time, I find it EXTREMELY unlikely that they'll let us transfer characters from a less populated server to a server that's been locked down since the first day.
But I think we're going to have a really hard choice to make in a few days or weeks. Â Either (a) tell everyone who wasn't cool enough to roll on Gilgamesh to start their characters over if they want to be in a strong RP community. Â Or (b) RP'ers on Gilgamesh get over it and opt to take the transfer to a less populated server, grateful that they at least got to keep their progress.
That transition is going to go a lot smoother if there's already a sort of "established" community on the destination server to justify the move, and if the name has already been in people's minds for a bit.
Granted, if they don't implement free transfers, it's my opinion that the RP community's chances of ever having an established "Unofficial" server will have been shot entirely, along with every other community that got split up by the server locks. Â So maybe it's all a little moot.
