It's a Japanese game. Role-play in MMO's isn't really a common thing over in Japan. The developers throw many bones at the community that benefit role-players directly such as rich lore, a varied game world and all manner of glamour/fluff options. Even then, there's pockets of role-players to be found outside of Balmung (which you've already sniped at a few times throughout this very thread) and Balmung itself has the largest gathering of role-players out of every existing server. Despite that, the server is already home to a lot of people who don't engage in role-play. As it should be.

We don't need a special server tag. Role-players will make things work on their own accord and that is the far better option than being babied by the developers. At the moment, Balmung is also locked - and isn't likely to have that lock removed until the population spreads out a bit more, which means that the efforts to set up Mateus as a proper alternative are genuine...and there's also a movement to set up the equivalent of Balmung over on the EU servers due to the datacentre move having caused many EU players to have a spike in their ping.
