    One possible issue is that if the developers themselves designate RP servers, it suggests that by contrast the others are not RP servers, making it actually harder for RP communities to establish themselves anywhere else. As long as it's the players deciding which servers to tack that label onto, it becomes a matter of where RP is most common rather than where RP is (or is not) appropriate.

    My point was more to the fact that new players who don't know what server has more RP than others, would not have any clue which one to try out. A new player could potentially go to the least RP server without knowing it and quit the game eventually due to lack of RP. There are ways around this of course, but just wanted to bring up that possibility. Just saying that one way to help combat this would be to label some servers as RP oriented. I'm sure there's other more subtle ways of going about this.
