RPers, I have a request.

[lordnaarghul]

That's a no go, RPers need to focus on particular servers or it has a tendency to die very swiftly indeed. A separated RP community does not last

Then what am I to do? There isn't any way onto those servers if you're not already there.

you can apply for a server transfer. costs about 18 bucks, but if you think it's worth it that isn't much.

See, now I don't think "Just pay 18 dollars if you want to roleplay" is a good idea, especially considering some roleplayers have alts and all that.

This is why I made a thread requesting they officially label the servers for different interests (PvE, PVP, RP, etc.). Maybe I should go find bump that. I assumed the HW topics were more important so I didn't track it.

But either way, this problem doesn't concern just RP fans. I get the feeling raid groups and other player interests would have a much easier time actually finding people to do those things with if they had a very clear indication of what servers were available. And Balmung and Gilga can't hold the load of everyone from every interest forever.

I agree. There's already some underpopulated servers and labeling them as the official RP server should help, especially if they do a free transfer.

[VelvetLiselle]

I am in the same boat. I'm on Sargatanas, but if I can find some good rp that is not on the over populated servers I will gladly start a character elsewhere.

The problem with this is it's absolutely ludicrous to be forced into this situation and does not help the underlying issue. It's simple misfortune that has Balmung and Gilgamesh as over-populated as they are. Adding to that population just makes the problem worse.

The simple fact is, the RP community needs an expanded home. The ones they have now are fast becoming locked and gated communities rather than the open communities roleplayers tend to foster.

yeah. it is, and i agree with you. I don't RP myself, but it's absence on cactuar is pretty noticeable. Sure there are people that RP on my server, but i rarely run into a group doing so.

it really isn't, however an option is an option. Regardless of how bad it is.

I wish there were more RPers on my server too. I'm an avid fan of RP but sadly, I've been playing on Behemoth since launch, bought a house and raid weekly. I can no longer move to another server!

Hito, try to send me a friend request later tonight. There actually is a decent size RP community in Behemoth, you just have to find it. It's mostly FC's at the moment, but there's an attempt to open it to link shells going on. I've met several Rpers on our server, but the bulk of it sadly is in FC's, and I'm a bit too tied to SCORP =\
