When you consider what FFXIV's RP scene has become, a gaggle of groupies silently /beesknees-ing in empty virtual chat rooms this ceases to be surprising. Better to cultivate a personal group of RPers amongst friends of like mind and similar proclivities, I say. That is IF you can find such in this game anymore. Everything I've heard and seen, finding too many dedicated ones who aren't simply ERPers is difficult.
