To those who plan to play SWG: Do we want to pick a server?
I know not all of us will be picking up the game and playing once it releases but I figure those of us that will be would likely all like to try and get on the same server. I know the RSA hasn't picked one yet and that if possible we'd like to stick with as many other RP boarders as possible just to carryover teh community into the game.
So my question is...

Ok.. that didn't format like I thought it would silently curses ez-board formating
If you have any suggestions or debate it's also welcome, my inital leaning is towards the unoffical RP server that www.swgrp.com is advocating, but then personally I'm also looking at building atleast one character on Bloodtide or whatever the unoffical east coast GCW server is. I'd also be open to picking a wholely different server as well, especially considering not all of the launch servers have been released yet.

That's something that's always been heavily debated, because even though many of us are on seperate sides of the GCW, many of us have also grown into close friendship and would love to play with those we've become so attached to. Frankly, I've kind of lost track of where the game is heading, so whatever server the RSA as a whole decides on, I'll be there.
But if that server is different from the one the majority of my friends here pick, I'll be creating another character for that one. It's important that we stay together and maintain the community we've created here.

What we must ask ourselves, do we want to play with just the members of this community or do we want to to go to a larger server?

Oh yeah, like I wanna play with you guys! If you all got any more livelier, a funeral might break out!
But seriously, folks, these are some good people. Give 'em a hand, they're alright.
The (un)official RP movement (SW:RP) is moving to Starsider. Now, I'm not too up-to-date on the whole "actual game" concept (the last time I checked out the actual SWG webpage, Yoda was a youngin.) - but I do think that there are going to be actual RP servers (I'm also pretty sure that the SW:RP people know that Starsider is going to be an RP server, if such a beast exists).
If Starsider isn't an RP server, and such things as RP servers exist, then, I say we go with an RP server.
Why, so we can hang around snobby RPers all day?
Noooo. Believe me, I've played quite a few online RPGs (I hate to admit that) and the best servers are those that have roleplaying rulesets OR have a significant roleplayer population. It's just the crowd that such a server attracts.
So, that's, uh, my two cents. Great. Now I can get chased around in-game, too.

Well, here's where the servers are. I think we are, on average, spread around the globe. However, if it turns out that Starsider is in a bad spot for a lot of people, then we could easily pick another one.

2. Bloodfin US East Coast
3. Bria US West Coast - Currently the Beta Server
4. Chilastra US East Coast

I like Starsider and quite frankly I find the idea that the at best 2500 people that are linked with SWG:RP will " fill up the server" I am actually expecting the servercap to be higher than the current industry standard and therfore should pose no problem if we want to join the rest of our fellow RP'ers on Starsider.
P.S Xfiend as of right now the devs have stated that they have no plans for ANY kind of speciality server at launch.
