I feel I have to disagree.

My MMO career includes FFXI, FFXIV, WoW, Warhammer Online, Aion and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Out of these games, the only ones that didn't have RP servers were the Final Fantasy MMOs and Aion.

Not sure if this is a cultural difference? The eastern-based MMOs didn't have RP servers, but the western ones I played all did. If FFXIV wants to include many of the standard practices of other AAA MMOs, then a RP server will be expected.

World of Warcraft has 226 U.S. servers. 23 of those are officially designated RP servers (17 are RP-PvE servers and 6 are RP-PvP servers).
