If you are into RP it's not a problem as long as you don't mind being surrounded by it. It's not limited to towns here so just keep that in mind. The marketplace is good because we have a ton of crafters competing for sales. Housing will be a nightmare because everyone wants one to RP in. Even people who don't have an "in character" reason to have a house will still nab one and make it a bar or cafe for the RP community to use. Even with the 1 FC, 1 personal rule I don't see that leaving much of a chance with so much demand because of the RP demand.

Every hardcore raider I know went to Gilgamesh if that helps your decision at all. With cross server party it doesn't matter as much but I assume you guys have more game content oriented FCs and way less RP FCs.
