I'd been thinking this as well.

One common complaint a lot of people have is that it's too quiet. "No one talks."
They feel like they're surrounded by zombies.

There have been suggestions to make the NPC's chatter, or have them run around town doing things.
But NPCs tend to have a very limited set of things they will say or do, and so they almost become /say spam when shouting about the Valentione's Day festival, Garlean invasion, etc. every few seconds.

I think I'd rather have players behaving in-character, running around doing things, and making the world feel alive.
... as long as they are considerate and not spamming things just to get attention. (but then we always have the Blacklist)

I don't think I'm a RPer... or perhaps only very mildly so... but if there were a designated RP server I think it might be kind of fun to be there.
