SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

[Mirana]

IMO - we don't really need RP server since RPers are most likely as normal as others ,
so they can live and stay with normal players.So you don't say you can't live with other?

I believe i didn't really see anyone saying that they would like to avoid that RPers.

SE making French/German server cuz of the population of these countries in this game
is high enough to make a designate server while SE can't really figure the amount of RPers
in the game as accurate as ppl who's from France/German.

So SE will think that their is not necessaries to do the designate RP server.

Maybe instead of making it:

"This server is for RPers" sticker next to the server name.

Make it more like:

"This server has a high population of RPers" when you hover your mouse over the server name. (or if you click it, why not)

I think that was the original intent behind this thread.. The original post does say specifically 'roleplay friendly' after all, rather than 'dedicated' or 'only' or anything like.

But you're right, and it's good to reiterate it since there's more than one person in the thread already seems to have understood otherwise; something likely caused by the easiest way to talk about such a server being to simply call it 'the roleplay server'.

Nobody is saying they 'can't live with normal players'.

The thread is asking for there to be an officially suggested server for roleplayers to congregate on. It's not a way for us to avoid normal players - hell, I like the idea of normal players seeing my friends and I roleplaying; more than a few people have said it lends flavour to their experience even if they wouldn't join in themselves, and knowing other people are seeing it and in a position to join in at any time adds a certain value in turn. I'm fairly certain none of the RP'ers in this thread like the idea of non-roleplayers being discouraged from joining any possible 'official roleplay server'.

It's about being able to find other people with the same interests as us, so that we can set up storylines, do cross-shell events or hell, just meet other roleplayers. This isn't like raiding or levelling, where the chances of finding other people play such things is high whatever server you're on; however much fun I may get out of playing out my characters' stories, it isn't nearly as popular a way of playing the game as most and benefits immensely from people who enjoy it being told a good server to find each-other on.

I believe i didn't really see anyone saying that they would like to avoid that RPers.

Brigandier has been all but mounting a hate campaign to get roleplayers as far away from himself as possible and been extremely vocal about his disgust for the very concept of roleplay, as well as contributing negatively to this very thread. Other posters such as Answa have enthusiastically voiced their wish to be able to avoid roleplayers more easily, and there's a post two posts above yours politely pointing out it would be nice to know which server to avoid as well.

So SE will think that their is not necessaries to do the designate RP server.

And, well.. Naoki Yoshida has already spoken rather the opposite to this point.

GamerEscape: You told Famitsu that you are thinking about making new servers focused on different languages. Are there any plans to designate roleplay servers? I know the players on Besaid would love to be officially recognized as an RP server.

Yoshida: We do recognize a need to set up a designated roleplaying world. We will look into this in a proactive manner!

The above quote is a part of why we have half a hope of this request actually getting anywhere: whatever else, this reorganisation is an opportunity to be 'proactive' about the 'need to set up a designated roleplaying world'.
