[Dev Request] Brand New RP Servers

[CyrilLucifer]

As someone who has RPed in FFXIV for over a year, this is not a real possibility. Roleplayers do not RP their way through dungeons unless it is with other consenting roleplayers (and such things are usually planned well in advance). Also, roleplayers are not usually in character, especially while engaging in PVE content.

I call BS right now.
I've had RPers in DF refuse to use certain abilities because they're RPing. I absolutely understand this isn't everyone, but this does happen, don't kid yourself. You're not some unified group; you certainly can't speak for everyone.

Also, I disagree with this proposal. Japan does not RP frequently if at all, the concept is foreign to them. The cost of maintaining three or more additional servers is best used on the game as a whole not just a subset of the population and, as we see with how long it took to implement a single new EU server - that is, after every server on the data center had more than 7000 active players, and more than 4 with 10000, it was desperately needed - it also shows that SE is extremely unwilling to bear these new server costs.

Do you think there are 5k+ active individual RPers per region willing to play their mains on these new servers? I think you'd struggle to fill one. Ask for one instead of three and you might have a more reasonable discussion.
