Please designate an official RP server.

I like your suggestion but I think they have other stuff to worry about now. If there would come a dedicated RP server it will likely come when things cooled down a bit.

Oh yeah, I can agree with that. An earlier poster suggested just putting an RP tag on an existing low-population server. I mean... why dedicate limited resources to a shiny new server when we can utilize a pre-existing dead one? Seeing as congestion seems to be their main issue right now, I thought now would be an excellent time to bring this up. I've always believed there should be a dedicated RP server, not just since this congestion issue reared its ugly head.

You're right... not top priority to cater to RPers. But instead, I am striving for others to see the reason why people flocked to Balmung in the first place, and why the server transfer incentives are only hitting a relatively low population. Dig up the root, don't prune the leaves.

EDIT::

During E3, I saw yoshi say that they were very looking into this. The issue is forcing a server community to be labeled RP. Balmung has so many others that it would be unlikely but servers like Mateus would need to be surveyed that they want to be labeled as the official RP server. They're trying to not isolate the community by suddenly telling them their server is the RP server. The designating is easy they said, the fallout, not so much.

If you want an RP server, the best option is to get Mateus or some particular server to be rather vigorous in asking to be the designation with little resistance. This will speed up the survey and get them to act.

I didn't know this, and this brings up a seriously good point I hadn't considered. I think with any server, there will be a group that is like 'meh', a group that is like 'yes!', and a group that will scream bloody murder over it. The problem is a matter of me, who is not typically very vocal about these things (see post count) being a small voice. I know there are people who share my sentiments, but like I've mentioned... mass lethargy is not a new concept.
