Questions about RP servers

[Ilitsa]

1. What distinguishes Balmung and other servers as Rp servers? Players arbitrarily pointed to that one and "claimed" it as an rp server
2. Is the Rp community large? Hard to get into? It's fairly large, not sure how hard/easy it is to get into though, I never rp'd there personally when I was on Balmung
3. Any other notable servers besides Balmung? I think it's..... Gilgamesh? That's an "rp server" too iirc.

Thing about Balmung though, the community is fairly decent, but as it's on lockout ALWAYS, it's a bit stagnant, a new player can't just join up and go there, so everyone has their own little cliques that they stick to and not much interaction, in my experience goes on beyond that unless absolutely necessary. Stagnant community is one of the main reasons I decided to jump ship tbh.

I've honestly never noticed what you're talking about. I end up talking with strangers all the time. Seeing RP everywhere really makes the world feel more alive too.

It really does, even if you don't participate in it yourself. Every time I need to make a visit to one of the Adventure Guilds, I'm entertained by the emotes. Most noticeably is the one in Uldah, but I've seen activity in Limsa Lominsa as well.
