I am in hopes that Jenova does pick up, we lost many to Balmung over the years but surprisingly been still strong, though with everyone waiting for Stormblood most rp has slowed in prep. Even so as evidence that a small rp community can thrive, I hope to see more grow all over, but of coarse I root for my own server xD.
RPC has moved! These pages have been kept for historical purposes

There should be a pitch thread for the various other server communities.
Is it wrong I kinda wanna see a battle royale between them? *cue mortal kombat music* |

If people want to move, let them. No one is forcing you. It's just nice to have options, especially now when people can't join our server. "Hey, would be nice if we had an official RP tag, or a sister to Balmung." "No we're not moving" that's fine, no one is telling you to. After the shit I've heard today, I'll gladly move if we ever got an official RP server, even if it's an EU one. I don't think SE would even tag Balmung or any of the populated servers, most likely it'd be a new one.

Honestly I really want SE to -finally designate- official RP servers to help people congregate after this whole mess. I have all eight of my slots on Balmung and have for a year, but giving people a clear place to go after being shafted with no warning would have helped this matter I feel.

There are threads here, there, and everywhere related to each of the communities, it's just not consolidated. You gotta dig for it, which can be frustrating when you're new, I know. Hell, even I don't want to dig for it right now, and I have a fuzzy idea where all the threads are (it's been awhile since I've looked). edit - the easiest, start here: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forumdispla...srvr=Other |

This isn't about the cares of a single person, it is about helping the community continue as it has for 5 years, something that many of us have put forth a lot of effort and work to grow into what it is now. When you say that Balmung being closed will cause new players to go elsewhere, are you saying new players will go to other games or servers? I think we oughta slow down with all the doomsaying. Balmung temporarily closing its doors due to high congestion near expansion launch won't be the end of RP as we know it. We've not yet seen how this will affect the roleplay community. Who knows? Maybe this could potentially lead to a boon for RP on other servers.

EDIT: Also, to give an example of what Momo was talking about. I've been talking to a group of people from WoW planning to come over to XIV. They'd literally been ready to transfer within days only to find out they no longer can. These people are heavy RPers that wanted a heavy RP community, and now several of them are no longer playing at all. So yes, this does actively deter new players. |

In lieu of an officially designated RP server (please square, just put RP after Zalvera and be done with it)...
If they're going to offer free transfers off of Balmung I think now would be the perfect time to try and find people on Balmung who want to create a second community that's more welcoming to newcomers. It isn't just the need to pay for a transfer, there are also no homes available and there are quite a lot of groups that have been around for years that have no need for new blood. If there was a fresh push for another unofficially designated RP server, I think it would be very good for the game. |

I really do like the idea of Mateus, Siren, and Faerie all merging to just one consolidated server (whoever has the biggest pop for fairness) because that would really give that one server a real shot at being a stable server. I understand that the logistics make that harder however.
