SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

Does this even matter anymore? we didn't get a label, and we're gunna be Balmung. I mean, i'm pretty sure the RPers already understand this considering we've been discussing trying to bring the community together on Balmung now.

I'm sure you'd like nothing better than for us to sod off to another server and be 'out of your hair' because our enjoyment isn't as important as your enjoyment, knowing we exist harms your well being, and all of that.

But... we're not. So... ya.

nope, im here to stay

i never had a single problem with roleplayers in general, there are just a few people here who will interepret me that way purely cuz i have a few bad things to say

"i dont want to be on an official roleplay server" does not translate into "i dont want to be around roleplayers at all"

to me it seems the main problem here is you people dont comprehend the difference


there is nothing wrong with the server being unofficial, ive stated that several times and you guys ignore it to respond to everything else so that you have something to argue about :P

I'm sure those were already designated RP Servers from the get go and if not then RP is usually kept low key and to private chats where they cannot disturb others. People have a choice to avoid RP servers when if they know they do not like hearing it. That being said it goes without saying that you probably never encountered anything negative from All the MMO's because of those reasons.

In terms of behavior, Besaid is already like those official RP servers of other MMOs, just without the beacon to guide new players toward it. Maybe there's a time of day where the RP'ers come out into the streets, but as far as EST evenings are concerned, I can't find RP'ers in Ul'dah.

The RP must be kept in low key, private areas, or odd hours now. I cannot find RP unless I go out of the way to find it or find someone that wants to make a point against RP by making RP-like shouts.

Never said there was anything wrong with it being unofficial, just a little more helpful to have an official tag to draw the eye of prospective new players.

My post wasn't directed at you in particular Thev, it was aimed like a shotgun, at everyone in it's path =D

well you werent the first to say that and a few others have aimed it at me

and the problem is, any kind of tag SE can put on it, would actualy make it "official" which is something some people wont understand

anyone who cares about roleplaying will find out where to go before they choose a server in any game anyway, so just make sure that advertisement as to where roleplayers are is out there, and that should be enough


and as i said, if they do make a tagged server for it, just as with the EU server, they need to start the server fresh and give people the option to go to it as a choice, and not label it an already established server, while the roleplayers may not mind, since they of course would get what they want, theyd piss off all the people who do not want that, whereas a new server satisfied both crowds request(anyone who argues that the roleplayers would have to leave friends or split, well, thats unfortunately a choice you gotta make, youd still have a server, and its your choice wether to use it or not from there)

You guys do realize posters like myself and Thevedis started out this thread defending the RP population on our server? A population we are not apart of, yet we defended you folks with a play and let play perspective.

Yet every time we disagree with you in the slightest bit, you guys attack us. You push your "opinion" and you "reasons" on us in the name of "supporting your perspective". If we offer a rebutal or state our own views you cry troll.

[Verence]

Not at all. We welcome reasonable contributions to the discussion. However, ah... To put it delicately, you two haven't exactly been model supporters. Coglin, you yourself flew off the handle in such a bizarre manner that many of us were rendered speechless and uncertain of how to respond, completely getting the major players in the discussion all wrong and posting in such an inflammatory manner that a number of your posts have actually been edited or removed by the community mods. Thevedis continually represents herself as having no problem with roleplayers, yet throws about terms like "RPist" and levels accusations that are better aimed at herself.

Not trying to be a jerk, just saying... If you're wondering why our reactions are less than open-arms, you need only look to yourselves.

you guys cant even take a joke, ive been calling you RPists for well over a year :P

if you cant get pasta single word, what does that say about you guys lol

also you should seriously go back and look at some of the reactions on the pro RPist side being put forth and tell me that they are mostly not immature and extremely rude, cuz most of them are, usualy, the first stone is thrown by the side who was disagreed with cuz they dont know how to handle someone not fully agreeing with them

I think a part of that may be due to simple frustration. Here we have a thread that's fast approaching 300 posts, yet there hasn't been a single dev response saying so much as a "We'll look into it.(TM)" or "Sorry, there are no plans for a RP-Suggested server at this time." or even "It's coming. In 2.0." I think much of the heat you and TheVedis are feeling is due to simply being able to understand the difference in opinion between themselves and Non-RPers in general.

^ This.

I was going to just do a huge /eyeroll and walk away from this thread forevers but before I do I just wanted to say that some of the ardent RPers in this thread are doing the whole roleplayers as a community thing a huge disservice with your attitude and your unwillingness to listen to even the slightest shred of a differing opinion--even from OTHER roleplayers. I really hope one day you guys can grow up and join everyone at the table for a real discussion, rather than just crying that everyone is out to get you/trolling you/bullying you/stealing your lunch moneys at the Quicksand.
