Thumps up!
Selene will certainly be united under the Map B!
Well said casp.
Just a lonely peasant on the road looking towards a distance future with the sweat on my back and a tear of cloth in my hand a family crest it must be. A adventure will i have, I dream of dreams my destiny awakens me.

Indeed, any such action found should result in a warning, removal of the influence involved from the server, and potential for further actions based on how the person involved acts from there out.
I say the last part because where some might have done so already out of frustration it would be... inappropriate to punish too harshly them acting as if to help a friend.
I don't understand why server selection wasn't done LONG ago. Would have been so very simple to implement.
I know people want to play on other servers using an alt, but your vote should only count for your main. An alt should have 0 say in which map a server gets.
Also, there are those who have yet to decide on a server or even will switch servers based on the map that is chosen. Those accounts should have been ineligible to vote.
Lax rules allow people to game the system. This is not the fault of the players.
I absolutely agree with the sentiment of this post Caspian. I suppose a concern would be if there will be any action taken how will you track who is guilty and who is not.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment of Caspian's post I agree with Kinross, if you don't want people to vote on other servers then server selection should have already been done...
A few people have responded regarding server selection. So let me quickly add this:
Nothing in my post says we don't want people voting on multiple servers. We just want them voting on multiple servers for the right reasons.
We didn't do server selection because there was a large % of the player community who wanted to see the maps for the different servers before committing to a server. Chicken, meet egg.
While people feel that "alts" have no rights, alts are people too. :-) I have family on the NA-E server that I will regularly play on, and I will also play on NA-W. Thus, we made a decision to allow people to have a voice on more than one server.
There's no reason to be defensive. Responsibility always comes with accountability. People want the ability to vote on more than one server; they must be accountable for doing it ethically.
Could we have prevented people from voting on more than one server? Yes. Could we have server locked everyone at our discretion? Yes. But neither of those things builds a trusting relationship between the community and developers.
Our objective is to be different than other studios; to groom the player-base to be the kinds of players we want in our game, through repeated opportunities to learn what it means to be an Elyrian.
I appreciate that when jokes are done the developers take this seriously and respond to things in a matter I feel is appropriate for them given their position.
What will make or break this game is the great devs and the great community and it is my hope that we can continue on this path.
