SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

I would not pick an RP server for the roleplay. In my experience, the general populations on these servers are more friendly and older. So long as you are careful of half of the RPers. Most of them make the sane and content-driven light/mid rper's look like crap... And then complain when you're not 100% rp walking and 'in character' every minute of your game life. I wanna play the game and be good at it. Not sit in a bar watching bad rp fights while wearing pretty gear and pretending I'm good at it. Sorry, but I want to play the game and make 'real' friends (as real as online friends get, anyways), not make friends with some guys alter-ego.

Not even going to get into the shamefully abundant fetish and erp issues, which are what MANY of the non-rpers see or think when they think 'roleplayer'.

This post sums up how I feel about the RP issue in general. I don't have any problem with RP as long as you keep it out of /say (in spam form, a little here and there doesn't push my buttons) and keep the ERP way the heck away from main hubs. If people RP with restraint, they're likely to get restraint back. If you shove it in people's faces, well you're going to get what you get.

If I might quickly pop in, the community rep's do seem to take the weekends off.

I'm not saying we'll definitely see a response today now that they're back, but I do think we might see a response between today and Wednesday, assuming they saw and inquired on behalf of the thread when it manifested late last week. Which they probably did.

In the event they didn't, it's also worth remembering that in most cases the representatives don't post in threads until after they've heard back from inquiring about a thread's subject to the developers.

I guess the long and short is 'Don't give up, it could be a bit before we hear back yet' >.>

Although my money's on some time before Wednesday, I wouldn't be surprised if any reply came as late as Friday or even next Monday, depending on whether the response the inquiring rep' got from the team was 'We'll think about that after we've decided if hybrid-option-2 can actually be done.'

Sorry to dredge up an older post and not join in the present argument, but it's been nagging me that I didn't reply to this before (and the exchange with Coglin seems too bizarre to comment, anyway). Not that I can reply to the whole post; between structure and strange assumptions it isn't terribly easy to understand in more than it's negative-ish tone. But, one of those assumptions I really would like to pick up on:

Do you really think we don't communicate and make friends with the players behind the characters?
