SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

By putting RP on the door you effectively force others to adhere to anything RP. Example: One would have to listen to you RP in parties, Shouts, Say and even in my tell. You would then respond to any complaints with "You shouldn't be on an RP server then." and don't act like that wont happen. A simple response would be to create your own BRAND SPANKIN NEW server where we can send you all to live happily with those of your kind without forcing others to be a part of your hobby.

Of all the RP servers I've been on in other MMOs, the RP was never enforced, the majority did not RP, and the players I've observed, did not give the impression they were pressured into RP when presented by an RPer.

I'm sure those were already designated RP Servers from the get go and if not then RP is usually kept low key and to private chats where they cannot disturb others. People have a choice to avoid RP servers when if they know they do not like hearing it. That being said it goes without saying that you probably never encountered anything negative from All the MMO's because of those reasons.

In terms of behavior, Besaid is already like those official RP servers of other MMOs, just without the beacon to guide new players toward it. Maybe there's a time of day where the RP'ers come out into the streets, but as far as EST evenings are concerned, I can't find RP'ers in Ul'dah.

The RP must be kept in low key, private areas, or odd hours now. I cannot find RP unless I go out of the way to find it or find someone that wants to make a point against RP by making RP-like shouts.

I have seen one shout and quite a few say in ulda. I don't mind it much as long as it is kept to a min or out of character earshot. Now the fact still remains that Besaid is a not an Official RP Server, as stated by Thevedis. As good an intention you may have to plaster RP next to the merged realm, there will always be those who will take advantage of that "Beacon to guide new players". I know not every RPer is a Jerk or needs to overextend his reach, with that, there will be someone or someones who will take the liberty to RP anywhere. Those who never wanted to interact with RP will not have a leg to stand on because a collective group decided that Its okay to make a change for everyone instead of establishing their own server. You are in essence bullying your way into the server because Its the "Unofficial server". I believe that The server(s) should "Officially" stay a normal server and an "Official" RP server should be made separately. If RPers want to stay in The newly merged server, then stay but be Unofficial as it has always been.

Or maybe nearly all RPers know not everyone is interested and don't rub it in their faces? Some of the recent posts make me question if the new posters have actually read the thread. We've been over all this multiple times already. Page back. Read. Think. THEN post.

Also, why are people still feeding the trolls?

we arent trolling you, we are expressing an opinion different then yours

but i forgot that people dont know what actual trolling is on these forums anymore, if people dont agree they have to be a troll

[TessaJalloh]

Does this even matter anymore? we didn't get a label, and we're gunna be Balmung. I mean, i'm pretty sure the RPers already understand this considering we've been discussing trying to bring the community together on Balmung now.

I'm sure you'd like nothing better than for us to sod off to another server and be 'out of your hair' because our enjoyment isn't as important as your enjoyment, knowing we exist harms your well being, and all of that.

But... we're not. So... ya.

nope, im here to stay

i never had a single problem with roleplayers in general, there are just a few people here who will interepret me that way purely cuz i have a few bad things to say

"i dont want to be on an official roleplay server" does not translate into "i dont want to be around roleplayers at all"

to me it seems the main problem here is you people dont comprehend the difference


there is nothing wrong with the server being unofficial, ive stated that several times and you guys ignore it to respond to everything else so that you have something to argue about :P

[TessaJalloh]

Never said there was anything wrong with it being unofficial, just a little more helpful to have an official tag to draw the eye of prospective new players.

My post wasn't directed at you in particular Thev, it was aimed like a shotgun, at everyone in it's path =D
