SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

[OskarHelvig]

Unfortunately the number of active RPers has dwindled, just like the number of players overall - hence the serverpocallipse in the first place. Then there are some who prefer NOT to RP publicly (or avoid it best they can). That's probably why you can't see it currently on the unofficial RP server. But, this isn't on an RP server, there /is/ no RP server currently, only the unofficial one, which is kind of a major oversight on SE's part from the get go since every major MMO nowadays has an RP server, if not a handful!

However with the little RP tag next to the new server, we would get an influx of RPers from other servers, and just general excitement from the community. I bet you will see a lot more of it once we actually have that official recognition.

Merely suggesting one server to be "RP Friendly" would ultimately translate to an RP server to most players when choosing a server. You might as well call it an RP server. As I'm sure many NA/SA players will be sure to avoid server 10 as it's suggested membership goes against their interests.

I'm sure you've taken this into consideration as a valid point in opposition. Not exactly trying to deter the RP community. I actually quite like a bit of light RPing when playing the game myself. Hardly enough to think of myself as part of that community. However, I understand it's place in the MMO world especially structured in a PvE environment. This could be a way in for you while the development got knocked down over the incredibly unintelligent final decision made regarding server merges. Unlikely though.

Honestly all this whining about how the Role Players are the root of all Evil and need to be avoided like the plague is either trolling or completely ridiculous. The only good it has done anyone is to give this thread momentum in better hopes of being noticed by the Dev's.

1) Role Players are no different than average players. They like to progress through the game, they like to participate in raids and end game content

2) MOST Besaid role players do NOT SPAM chat around openly irritating anyone at all. In fact MOST screen spam you DO see comes from annoying Emote spam and shout spam caused by causal players not Role Player

3) If you are devoting so much time and energy into hating a particular group of people for no good reason...you are a sad sad individual who needs a hobby.

MMO Role Players are a harmless part of the gaming community, all this hate is completely pointless and ridiculous.

Now that I have that out of the way.

I fully support a Clearly labeled Role Playing Server ^_^

Read the merge news again. It say EU server, not Ger/FR server.

This is a bit beside the point, but...

New World 10 is recommended for players in EU regions, particularly French and German players.

From the announcement.

I support this thread... the RPers need a SE designated place to go so all the normal people can know to avoid said server like the bubonic plague.

Haters gonna hate I guess

[Verence]

Hey look, someone with a Japanesey sounding name who's not actually Japanese... DEAR GOD A WEABOO! GET IT AWAY!

There we go. Arbitrary, pointless hate for everyone! Let it never be said I'm not an equal opportunity bigot!

(See how silly this sounds?)

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

It just needs to stay unofficial and the RP community should plan where they stay. Any suggested server by SE for a specific type of player will still read as a definitive RP server. Those who do not enjoy it and just want people to be themselves while they are grouped up or whatever other instance will not want to give themselves the chance to be put into that position.

Again, as I'm sure most people who are in NA/SA/JP will be staying away from the suggested EU server. As most cases it would result in being in a totally undesirable time zone (to them).

People organizing themselves into servers by timezone or interest is not segregation. I assume that is what you are referring to based on the last few posts. But to apply legality to it is reaching for something that isn't there.

Everyone's got their reasons for wanting to be on a certain server. The RPers desire to be together for their reasons, just like everyone else. Furthermore every other group in the community beaides the NAs (who are generally moving to "preserve their servers") is organizing onto one or two servers to be able to play together. Just look all over this forum... Spanish have a poll, gmt+8 have their own topic, and the JPs also have a poll up. Are you gonna accuse all of them of supporting segregation when to them organizing by timezone is actually just common sense?

Think really hard about that.

The RPers desire to be together for their reasons, just like everyone else.

thats a load of crap. there are several posters here attepting to officially attept to herd, manage, or push RPer's to a segregated server. No concversational majority here is of the RPer's asking for there own server, it is alot of posters attempting to force them to one.

As far as the spanish support thread goes. I was under the impression that spanish speaking posters were asking about having a spanich forums area as to allow them to have more partisiparion n discussion.

Here you are implying that is comparable to clearly expressing that a group should be forced to one server as Brigandier has suggested. The two are of no coparison.
