It's going to take players dedicated to establishing a community elsewhere, or an incentive for the non-RP crowd to shove off instead.
For it to work, SE needs to make a few things happen.

1) Housing needs to be transferred over. If this means adding new Wards to accommodate the Large Estates of FCs, then that NEEDS to happen. Players NEED this peace of mind, this feeling of security, that they are NOT going to lose this.
2) Transfers need to be free. Not everyone can afford to pay $18 to move one (or more) characters.
3) Restrictions of transferring Gil don't need to be loosened. They need to be -removed-. No one wants to lose their Gil from moving.
4) Make Official RP Servers. It. Helps.
