SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

[Kailea_Nagisa]

Greetings,

Apologies for the delay, I know you've all been waiting on a response to this topic.

There aren't any plans to designate a roleplay server for the upcoming World Merge. However, Yoshida did tell us "I also like roleplaying, so with the launch of version 2.0 we'll prepare a roleplay server."

There is no reason to do this, the RPing groups that are on Besaid, are staying, so Balmung will be the new "RP" server, we already have one designated -.-

Right, because the people who are currently playing the game are the only people who will ever be playing the game. Nope, there aren't ever going to be any new customers coming ever again, certainly not any new customers who might be unaware of what the community's unofficially designated RP server is...

With all due respect, most found it with little to no problem. :] If someone truly wants to RP, then I don't think it will escape them to type "FFXIV RP" into Google. The #1 result is the RPC website (www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com). It should be pretty easy, unless you seriously doubt the googling/mental capacities of roleplayers.

She makes a point--you're free to disagree, but no need to be so satirical.

No. Players should not be required to do any research whatsoever prior to starting up the game and creating their character. That's not user-friendly.

I don't doubt people's ability to use google, but the fact is doing so shouldn't be necessary. A game should be intuitive enough that you can just jump right in and start playing immediately, without having to do any work to prepare beforehand.

Yet you expect players to do research to find the server with the largest player base of there language? Or any other Specific group?

No. Where did you get the idea that I would think that? No, the language/region of the server should be listed next to its name in the server list.

100% right.

It just pains me to even have these pseudo-arguments with Coglin/TheVedis... for them to even begin speaking on the topic, they have to be explained the basic things RPers know from being part of this specific community. They have to hear that out, and understand that, and /then/ with that knowledge state their case w/o the gimmicks they have been using.

That is why it makes NO sense in really even replying to them, they are simply too willfully ignorant on the subject. Their posts in this thread have showed that they are in no way interested in finding solutions. They don't have the interests of our community in mind, they're simply looking for a response. Think about it... this thread has little to do with them at all. You should question with all that was said, why they're still even paying attention to it.
