What if SE designates more than one RP server?
Well, this is a highly unlikely scenario from my perspective, but if they were to designate more than one RP server, I assume we would just have to bump up RPC visibility on all the community sites and alter the RPC's forums and site a bit to fit in multiple servers. I recall in FFXI, there was a cross-server linkshell called MithraPride. They were the ones that first made a Vana'diel clock, which is how I found out about them. Here's their website so you can see how they manage multiple servers: http://mithrapride.org
Basically they just provided support for people from all servers and it worked out really well for them in FFXI's heyday.
What if server selection is set up like FFXI’s was at the beginning?
This will be obnoxious, but if I recall (at least at the start of PS2 launch, I don't know about NA PC's launch), you could buy World Passes even near the beginning of the game. So if some members from each RP linkshell don't mind doing the re-roll until you hit the right server technique, they can initially work on guildleves or what-have-you to pool together enough gil to buy worldpasses. Then those incoming people can save up enough to buy a few more, and so on. This is relying on there being world passes from the beginning, but it is one solution.
I can't think of another what if so I will pass for now and come back with something later.

Quote:Then make a forum just for people asking for passes and us giving out passes to those who need it. That way work out management for passes and so on.Synchronized idea spouting. What he said.
