Everyone please read to help SWTOR LGBT guilds

Hello Everyone!

I been calling all the reps at Bioware trying to make it so all the LGBT guilds can be on one server. my friend that works there said to post a thread on their forums in the suggestion box with our request/petition so if you all go here and sign (post)
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8326350#post8326350

He will try and make sure the right eyes read it!

UPDATE: They said I placed it on the Wrong thread and Directed me to place it on the looking for allies/adversaries. which makes no since. I will have to reword the Post and I will place it here once done.

Hey there!

I'm still pretty much on the fence about whether I want to play SWTOR or not, but for now I'd still like to understand what you're asking for here...

Why do all the LGBT guilds need to be on the same server? I'm assuming you're not implying that there should be a separate server *just* for the LGBT community, 'cause obviously that would be a very bad thing. Of course everyone in a particular guild need to agree on which server to operate, but why ought *all* of the LGBT guilds be forced to be on the same server? Surely this can only lead to people restricted to playing in a certain time-frame being potentially unsupported? If there are enough people who want to play on server X and want to play together, then there's no reason why they shouldn't have their own fleet there. And if there isn't enough people to warrant this, then they'll naturally gravitate to either another guild in their time zone, or one of the LGBT guilds on the other server, according to *their* preference.

So why is this a Dev issue? Once a fleet has chosen which server to play on, it's simply up to the players to join the appropriate server in order to play with their fleet. What exactly are you expecting from the Devs?

My friends and I made our own guild, before I even know about yall ;), I would not want to be forced to be on a particular server simply because we let in "the gays." I mean God only knows what name for the server they picked, and I like a lot of people rp a bit in name choices. Of course if they have two servers at launch this makes the point moot. ;)

The idea is for the to be a defacto 'gay server' like Proudmore in WoW which most, but not all, glbt guilds are on. My understanding is that it helps create a better sense of community on that server and, I can imagine, makes planning for Pride Festivities much easier and more inclusive.

This wouldn't be a binding or required; just our community trying to establish a home inside the game.

Many guilds for TOR are gearing up for Phase 2 of the guild deployment which is Alignment. Each guild gets to pick Allies and Adversaries. An ally is a guild of the same faction as your guild and an adversary is a guild of the opposite faction of your guild, that you've made some arrangement with.

The idea is that who ever you have set as your ally/adversary will be put onto the same server. For instance, when I get around to creating the Lords of Stonewall guild, I can set them as Adversaries to Knights of Stonewall so that both guilds will be on the same sever, just opposing factions.

The current thinking is that only the first ally and adversary on your list will actually get put on the same server as you, so a lot of the planning the glbt guilds have already been doing won't work as they were hoping. Blooddoll is hoping to get Bioware's help in this matter so that later on glbt guilds won't have to hop servers to all be in one place.

Ahh ok that makes much more sense and I can see why people would be concerned then.

I just read the post on the SW:TOR forums. What an excellent post and awesome idea!
