Late to the thread, only read the first page but I wanted to add in my thoughts:

I'm with Aysun on this, and several people in my linkshell are as well. Besaid is our server, not the RPC. We want to stay with our home server and stay with our RP and non-RP friends. If it came to it and a group of RPers diverged away from Besaid, we would likely just stay with Besaid anyway.
