Roleplaying

[ExiledOne]

keeping distinctions between in-character vs out-of-character

I imagine it would take some effort to stay in-character 100% of the time.

I have read that Balmug is THE RP server but I didn't realize how many seek ingame dating.
[edit: I don't know why this surprised me since characters can now get married, indicating that in-game relationships are popular]

I had only thought of roleplaying as in ffxiv lore and wondered what that meant to FCs that advertise as RP focused.

It's more that we're all people who were forum and chat-channel RPers as babies and so we grew-up with the convention that IC talk has no markers and OOC talk has some sort of marker like {{OOC talk goes here}} or some-such. You never quite move on from the feeling that if you're not using markers to indicate OOC talk you're being a terrible person.
