I'd be on board with holding a vote on the present server names. We'd just have to make sure everyone was aware that the results may be made void if the server names do indeed change (which they likely will). However, I think we should hold off on that until open beta just in case they release the real server names along with the next phase. If the server names don't change by open beta, then I think we should have an initial vote just to quell the worry.
However, I do disagree with having the poll run for longer than 5 days max. Server selection is a big deal, and I'm sure the Aion people here can testify to that based on their experience with the server voting. People WILL try to sabotage the vote and the longer the poll runs, the more at risk it is of being sabotaged.
Overall, I'd like to make the following proposal (which should cover just about any server selection problems). This is mostly based on the previous proposal, only with minor modifications made.

Quote:Listed in order of importance. Smaller number always trumps larger number (example: #1 is done BEFORE #2).
1. If Square Enix declares an official RP server, we go there. If no official RP server, move on to #2.
--If there is more than one official RP server, we select the second option on the list.
--If the order of the server names shift sequence, we select the RP server based on alphabetical listing instead, starting with C.
2. If server names remain the same as beta names, we go the chosen server based on the RPC pre-vote (to start during open beta.). If server names change, move on to #3.
3. If final server names are known before September 22nd, we hold a vote in the Assembly Room. Vote would last no longer than 3 days, possibly less depending on how much time there is before the game goes live. If server names are NOT known before September 22nd, move on to #4.
4. As a last resort and if none of the above can be done, select the 5th server on the server list.
--If the order of the server names shift sequence, select the server based on alphabetical listing instead, starting with the letter C.
