RPers, I have a request.

I would caution against them picking anything but Blamung as the official RP server for NA, simply because even if they select another server, Balmungites will stay on Balmung. Multiple trillions of gil have been invested in housing districts of RP friendly and RP-centric housing, including groups that have multiple houses in territories for Rp purposes. You're not going to get RPers to just give that up regardless of what your opinion is of the practice.

Thing is people are already uprooting themselves in the hopes that Balmung is truly indeed the RP paradise it gets advertised as. You can still RP in non-RP labled servers, just like you can still raid in RP servers. It's just going to be a bit harder to get things going. Balmung can still be an RP server, but given the sheer number of people interested in RP in this community we need more than Balmung. There is no easy solution to this problem, but if we can find a better idea the devs would like I'd be all for it.

Another possibility would be to add a new server for each data center, clearly labeled as "RP, PvE, PvP" what have you as a test run to see how many people migrate to it. Though that would cost extra money on SE's end.
