I just don't think it's good to, in the end, say "Here's the few you can go to" whereas there can be the new RP server, designated and chosen with the best possible efforts and information we can. One of which those efforts is yes, including any possible Balmung communities to join as well as consolidating other server groups.
To be honest, I don't thing the server itself doesn't matter as much for this as getting things set up to where there are 'enough' pillars to handle a that time period of initial move in and hitting the critical mass of self-sustainability. Â I'm trying to envision what things will look like a year from now when the routine churn has taken it's toll and removed a few of those pillars (because real life always does.)
I watched folks try and establish an RP community on Cactaur and have it fall apart for similar reasons. Â The big coordinator of the few smaller groups had a kid and quit to be a dad. Â It more or less died out not too long after. Â A new RP community needs to be able to survive disruption like that.
