If you've spent any reasonable amount of time playing on Besaid, you will know of at least one story like this one: One night I wandered into Ul'dah to hear someone going on in /shouts in a very annoyed tone, wanting to know what was up with all the roleplay on the server. This was met with the response that Besaid was the RP server, and that they should expect to run into it from time to time. This person was genuinely surprised and even angry to learn this. They said they would have NEVER created their character on Besaid had they known!

These are the people that will most likely not research server types, and will be most surprised to find themselves unknowingly on a RP server. If this information was made available at the server selection screen, those who do not enjoy roleplay would know which server to avoid.
This. As someone who loathes RP, I agree 100%. At risk of people bawww'ing about turning the game more into WoW, if I recall they have RP servers clearly marked on the list when making a character, and I dodged them very heartily.
