There are supposed to be more servers for retail than there was for open beta, though I don't know if that will actually be the case for release tomorrow. There were a *lot* of servers on Pacific, to say the least. Not as many as there were on East, but a lot.
So we could do the 5th or 6th PvE server alphanumerically. That is, given a list like this:
Server 10 (PvE)
Server 1 (PvP)
Server 9 (PvE)
Server 2 (PvE)
Server 11 (PvP)
Server 8 (PvP)
Server 4 (RP)
Server 3 (PvE)
Server 7 (PvE)
Server 5 (PvE)
Server 12 (PvE)
Server 6 (PvE)
First, weed out the non-PvE servers:
Server 10 (PvE)
Server 9 (PvE)
Server 2 (PvE)
Server 3 (PvE)
Server 7 (PvE)
Server 5 (PvE)
Server 12 (PvE)
Server 6 (PvE)
Then, re-organize them so they're in alphanumeric order:
Server 2 (PvE)
Server 3 (PvE)
Server 5 (PvE)
Server 6 (PvE)
Server 7 (PvE)
Server 9 (PvE)
Server 10 (PvE)
Server 12 (PvE)
Then, if we chose to pick the 5th PvE server alphanumerically, server 7 would be the one.
Something like that. We just need to decide on what spot in the order. And if we have any problems, then we can always post a heads up. I'll make a public forum on our boards for this purpose (it's currently all private because we're all paranoid ).
