Castiel Wrote:There's a huge debate about the vote in the Council Chambers right now about this. However, as it was basically stated there, a vote was promised. To take it away only about 24 hours from the actual vote would cause a rather large uproar. It would be different if we had time to discuss it more thoroughly but there is no time anymore. We've essentially been advocating the vote for months now and everyone has accepted that there would be one if server names were known before launch. And well, server names are about to be known 3 weeks before launch. The most I think we can do is just shorten the length of the actual vote, but not take it away at this point.
Pardon my language (and rhetoric) but, WHO THE FUCK thought it would be a "good idea" to advocate stripping away the ability of the community as a whole to decide where it would go?
Mad props to you Castiel for shooting that tyrannical proposition down. :approve:
I've been trying to hold my tongue over this asinine debacle about server selection but c'mon. This is getting ridiculous.
I get that some people were "inconvenienced" in beta when the game was randomly assigning servers and people who got stuck on Exdeath and where ever else had to reroll on Jecht only because DUE TO RANDOM CHANCE most of us ended up there BEFORE they gave us the option to select a server. But there is absolutely zero reason to try and force a hardline decision down the throat of the community simply because the fact of the matter is THERE IS NO URGENCY TO THIS DECISION. Game goes live in 3 (three) weeks, why do you people INSIST on whipping yourselves up into a frenzy over beta, BETA. It's all going to be wiped at launch anyway (names aside), so just relax.
I understand people want to snipe their own "original creation do not steal" character names like Cid Do'Urden or Mary Sue Kirk before other people do and in order to do that "ASAP" I understand the desire to just say, "This is the decision, you hoi polloi can like it or lump it." However I can in no capacity approve or advocate such a totalitarian proposition.
Anyone who wishes to take away the voice of the community, in my mind, doesn't want to have a community to begin with, they want drones who'll blindly bend to their own wishes. I don't know who the genius is/was behind that idea but I am seriously disappointed that someone could think that would be "ok."
Play me off, men.
