I LOVE this kind of true RP
And I HATE ERP so much...

My concern is: as ERP increases and becomes more evident, less people will be willing to do true RP and less people will think this is a good way to play the game 'cause it's easy to misunderstand the difference between them. So, as ERP grows, the true RP shrinks... and this is very sad.

A good thing about true RP is: you don't need any mod to do it Just to learn some /emote tricks will do
Fortunatedly, we still have a lot of people doing it. And yes, it's a good way to get some gil

I love normal RP too, but FFXIV now has so much infamy in the ERP section that I don't engage any roleplayers anymore... I find myself embarrassed telling anyone I play the game nowadays because of the connection to ERP, and as someone playing the game since launch I remember being very proud to play the game because the community used to be predominantly so wholesome back in the day.

I was about to say the same...
I made a char in Balmung after waiting for early hours in the morning for a window in the character creation restriction. Back then, Balmung was the capital of true RP and I was very proud of being isnde there xD I went inside a roleplay FC and learned a lot from them (even things about the lore of the game, like places and some historical characters. I REALLY loved to play like this).

But now it's this degenerated and sexual stuff... I feel embarrassed for that as well. Even now, if I ask to enter a "RP FC" I can't thrust that all members there are looking for real RP or just the redtube's eorzean extension... It's really sad.

I'm about to move my alts to one of the new servers in EU DC. I hope i can create some true RP events inside a FC there (small and true RP events for the FC members only and only if ALL of them mind the difference and aren't looking for pervert content).

"But now it's this degenerated and sexual stuff"

This. Even passing through Quicksand Inn you can see that half the people there are just tourists with the "Wanderer" and "Traveler" tag.
