Keeping the Besaid community together post server merge!

So, I know alot of linkshells will be doing this, but why not extend the idea to the community itself at large.


Especialy due to the fact this is deemed the unofficial RP server, if we try to keep as much of Besaid together as possible, whatever new server we all choose could end up being dubbed the same due to it.


So thoughts on this? Is it really possible for us all to make an attempt to get all our shells and individuals without shells to go over to the same server? Who is up for the attempt!

I'm up for it.

I think the shells will have to unite on this issue. The coalition is having their poll now as well.

Bother I feel like I'm spamming, hurling this link everywhere, but.. yes, as Fiosha says, the Role-Play Coalition has a poll going on the subject now. Here:

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

Since Besaid was always the unofficial RP server(and even though im not an RPist) id be fine saying we should go along with whatever you guys choose as a number, though honestly, does it really matter in the end as long as everyone ends up together?

Hopefuly SE will budge and give us names ahead of time when they see the outrage over that 1 specific issue with it

I'll be watching this thread and I look forward to hearing what the new RP server will be. :)

Hi all I am honestly interested in knowing where you all head. (I don't know if I'd be good at the RPing, but you all seem like decent enough folk :P) Also, not to sway your vote but '7' is a lucky number...I know some of the Role-playing community was trying to avoid the 'we didn't know this was that server' hate they got the first time around. Again, feel free to go to any server... but 7 will probably be in the top 3 popularity wise.

fwiw, Trabia's early favorite is World 7. Go 7rabia!

This. We have a very wonderful community and I'd hate for this server to suffer from the upcoming World Merge.

As both a RPer and a fan of the Besaid community, I'm for this. Besaid is the only online community I've ever been in where, upon noticing some obnoxious shoutspam in the public channel, I sent a polite message requesting the offender stop...

...and they apologized, then did. This has never happened in any online game I have played, ever. Mind: blown. I love Besaid. <.<

Hiya! I just wanted to say I <3 Besaid too like a WHOLE bunch. And even though I don't consider myself an RP'er I enjoy playing with so many of you from the community. On the topic of being the unofficial RP server... how did that ever come to be? I mean whatever happened in order to organize that turn of events should be repeatable right?

I certainly believe this will alleviate a lot of problems for my Linkshell if the RPers have a chosen server.

TALE is up for this as well! We <3 Besaid, RP and non-RP alike.

Well, world 10 is mostly interesting for me, so I doubt to follow.

Hopefully when the votes have been cast and the period of enrollment begins, there will be an announcement made by the RPC on behalf of the RP community on Besaid as to which server we will be moving to. There have been some good arguments about Server 9 (Since 10 is the German/French server, 9 can be the RP server, that sort of thing).

This is also an opportunity for RPers on other servers to join the 'main' RP hub server, which ever it will be, which is very exciting. Very nerve-wracking too, I don't want to lose any of the the community (RP and non-RP) to another server. I hope we can all come together even if 'our' server is not the one that happens to be chosen. Stick together, Besaid. :)

FIST PUMP. stick together!

Just to keep people in the loop, the current 'plan of action' as of 2/9/2012 for RPers is:

1) Petition for an RP server, if they announce an RP server select it!

[SIZE="5"]To support reply to this thread! Linky[/SIZE]

2) If there is no RP server, and they announce server names; choose BESAID no matter what number it is.

3) If they do not show names, pick server 9*

Reasons for picking 9:
-End of the list next to 10, which is a specialized server
-Is not 7, or any of the other obvious choices
-Is taking heavy lead in the RP poll with regards to world transfer
-If we announce (and make some noise) about 9 being RP server early, a good portion of the Besaid community will sway that way as well, as evident on official forums. (Many are waiting on us to say where we are going.) That will also influence other communities who may pick 9, since they will already know RPers are going there. (aka people who want nothing to do with RP)

We should prepare for worse case scenario with SE not giving out server names or announcing an official RP server while pushing for them to do just that.

^ This. While my views on the RP server support has changed, this is a good plan of attack for keeping the server together. Besaid, please, for the community (RPers and Non-RPers) follow this!

In regards to the RPist poll going on, if you guys are going to announce what sever you all are deciding on it needs to be at least 5-7 days BEFORE the selection process goes live, so that people know where to go ahead of time.

If this cant be done, its pretty much a done deal that everyone thats non RP will be trying to get in a server with their shell on day 1 instead since those shells arent going to wait til the last second to see what everyone else decides. This needs to be planned out sooner then later

Well, currently "World 9" is winning by 63% of the vote with the RPC people and the next-highest votes only have 9% each, so unless more come out and suddenly swing the vote in some other direction, they will probably elect 9 as their server of choice.

There was a post translated by Reinheart over in General Discussion, SE MIGHT go a different route with the merge. It could all change though, so we should still be prepared for the worst.

SE guy#1: "man servers are getting low on population we need to merge some."

SE guy#2: " I have an Idea lets merge the low population servers into one or two full servers and leave the well established full ones alone; BUT give ppl an option to move about kinda like world passes."

SE guy#3 " NAHhhH! that would make too much sense; we must break up these communities or force them to come up with some crazy plan to stay together with their community and friends. In fact we make it even more fun by not naming the worlds LOLoLoROFL MuahahahhahahhHHAHHA..."

Seriously.....
At least it seems they are coming to their senses and are gonna change their minds on this merge and go with the more sane approach. One can only hope anyway.

Besaid, let me know what server u guys are going to. No offense, but I don't wish to be on a RP server.
