FFXIV Roleplay: Reborn!

You should probably warn him about the dangers of RPing in public areas (mostly that if you are in a highly crowded area RPing in /S isn't particularly recommended.) It can lead to people immediately trolling you, or insulting you, and even asking you to leave.
If you are in a highly populated area I'd recommend doing /P as it will allow your group to speak more privately and you wont end up on quite as many block lists.

Wow, never experienced behaviour like this when RPing in /say in Ul'dah. At worst, I was ignored. No, wait, I was always ignored. Anyway, past that, no-one on was ever rude to me.

You... weren't on Balmung... I sometimes did my crafting in the quicksand and people would start RPing... this would promptly be followed by people chiming in with /em looks at (rpers) chest and smiles (Others would add slightly more vulgar statements like peeing in their tea and what not...
people yelling at them to quit spamming up chat
and often times I've seen people who won't party with people because they have an RP LS up specifically those known for RPing in /s because they apparently don't want to get spammed with RPing
I personally don't care... when the people doing it didn't suck it was quite interesting to watch.

Actually this is something we're hoping to get away from, these days you don't see as much RP because people are doing so in party or in private functions. It used to be you would walk down a street and pass two people having a regular RP gathering and could easily join in. These days, you don't. Yoshi-P mentioned about wanting to add in an RP server at ARR launch so if this happens then you'll undoubtedly see plenty of open-world RP. And honestly, if at this point someone complains about it, why are they even on that server then? Non-RPers will usually join a RP server just because of a friendlier community but I've yet to really see someone gripe and complain about it.

Actually... I've seen it on another game I'm currently playing but compared to here their RP community seems mostly non-existent so non-RPers have essentially taken over forcing people to exclude themselves to specific "groups". If that happens in ARR then the whole idea of a RP server is pointless.

That is true, if there is a dedicated RP server then yes /S would be awesome for it.
I'm just saying that there is animosity between the groups on balmung
Non-RPers don't like seeing the blocks of text and in a few cases being told they can't have a conversation because the people there are RPing in character
RPers dislike the animosity and being forced into /p
