Server Mergers (Designate an RP server a la Besaid)

Would like to get my opp out of the way: not entirely sure why people are complaining. You will NOT lose friends. Simply tell the people you play with what server you plan on going to, and see if they follow you over. Simple. Friendships will be tested. Linkshells will be destroyed and formed again. Fun! More recruiting etc.

On a side note, can we designate which server will be RP / non-RP. I planned on leaving Besaid for some time now. o.O Not from a distaste for RP, but rather due to the fact that I just don't take partake in it.

If 10 is FR/EU, I'd suggest WORLD 9 for RP.

I hate this... some of the RPers are my friends eventhough I am not a RPer myself :( :( :( Why can't we all live happily everafter with each other...

You should decide the world number based on the last digit of the number of "Likes" your post receives by 1 a.m. on the 19th. That way it's more exciting, like American Idol.

Same Mamba. But just try and get a majority of your friends to transfer to say World 9 then? Easy fix :D

And I like your idea Brannigan! Lol

People use the term "friend" way too lightly. If they refuse to go with you, for whatever reason that may be, I'd say "associate" is more fitting.

Except someone already started a move for "8esaid." So now you guys have to decide which you like more. >.>;

I don't think it is that simple...
I can't assume that I am the ONLY friend the person has... They could also have a special someone who is adamant going to some other server where I am going. Now you could say "but then you should go to the other server too" - but then what about my other friends that are all going to some other server?

I honestly could care less if RPers came to 8esaid, I'd just like it to be the primary NA/English server.

Use alphanumberics?


Istory -> 1story
Lindblum -> 1indblum
Figaro -> 4garo
Fabul -> 4bul
Mysidia -> 3ysidia
Melmond -> 3elmond
Wutai -> 3utai
Selbina -> 5elbina
Saronia -> 5aronia
Gysahl -> 6sahyl
Trabia -> 7rabia
Besaid -> 8esaid
Bodhum -> 8odhum
Cornelia
Kashuan
Karnak
Rabanastre
Palamecia

Hm..

Which server ought RP'ers regroup on? [SERVER MERGE]

Might be of some use to you, Kira? I made a thread over on the Role-Play Coalition forums to discuss the issue (not to mention, we can use polls over there).

Certainly it'd be nice if everyone could tell any roleplayers they know about the link I've posted here, and indeed this thread.

Sorry, I hope this doesn't seem like a de-rail. Whatever happens I'll be watching every thread I can find on the issue to see what seems the primary choice. I'll link back to this thread in the above-linked forum as well.

What about the French/German/EU RPers? Where will they go? ; ;

Preferably the same server as all the other roleplayers o.o *from England*

I'd much rather be with as many roleplayers as possible. There are currently no plans to move a server to Europe to improve latency, it's just a language thing, and it's an unfortunate fact that given its size, the EU roleplay community is much better served by joining the rest of the RP'ers than it is trying to stay cohesive on a server of its own.

I know the language barrier is a sod, and as an English-speaker I can't speak for too much, but still, I do think it's the better option, especially for the bilingual RP'ers.

I think that this game lets ourselves out in our fantasies to role-play enough even if we aren't in a said RP server.
It doesn't depend on which server you are, but on the people's will to make some fantasy RP moments, so it doesn't matter at the end which server you choose, but with who you're talking to. You can be together with who you like and RP with who wants. In this game it's a win/win case =)

We still have RPers on besaid? I havn't seen any in ages. When I did, it was few and far between. Even then, they never bothered anyone, the only difference between them and any other player I played with, was that they typed in midevil terms, they still healed me when I needed heals, they tank the same, and they DD the same as a none RPer.

We're still about o.o I know there are about fourty to sixty active roleplayers in my hub linkshell alone. 'Had a thirty or so-strong inter-shell event up in La Noscea just the other night.

'Glad to read we did okay by you, though!

I have no feelings about this.
