SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

What about a Cute Lala Server, Bayohne? Don't you think Hiir is cute?

You are too kyoot! You will be hugged, squeezed, and maybe even eaten!

Personaly I say "Bah" to further fragmenting the communities. I like my server to have a mix of everything, NA, JP, EU, Roleplayers, Casual players, Hardcore players...ect.

I'd rather not everyone be huddled into their own little corner where they feel safe and warm.

unfortunately special interest groups dont agree with that, they want to feel special by having something of their own
its why unofficial servers for certain things work real well, you can get everyone together still, but once they designate a server new and official all the special interests will run to it

Except when you don't have it recognized, communities spread around all servers and grow thin, and die out. To avoid that you need people on the same server. You just don't get it, being part of the majority non-RP playerbase, how essential it is to have all RPers on one server for the community to thrive, not to just linger, but thrive. Your arguments don't get too much traction because this ignorance of the topic at hand is evident in each post.

Ok, so you have 2 choices in the end then

1) Go unofficial only and have everyone who joins attempt to flock to the server, and have a wide variety of players, not only RPists, and no one would get seperated from their friends ever since they wont be forced to move to an official server

2) Go official, everyone who wants to RP goes to the official server, those who do not want to sever ties dont, and then we hear complaints about how the community is now split because you were forced to make a chocie due to having a special interest group.


Either way, you end up with players complaining about 1 thing or another. Either they complain that the server isnt official(which it wont be cuz its unfair to force players onto an official server for a special interest) or you get complaints that people were split up(which is by choice since its your choice to go to an official server so you chose to be split from friends if you do it)



There is no ignorance, its all pretty much fact, people are already complaining about it(go look, seriously, they have) so its a lose lose situation for complainers
but either way, the RP community will survive, the difference is basicaly how you do it


The problem with your posts at this point is no matter what I say you will go out of your way to bash me, and thats not ignorance on my part, but just immaturity on your part. I have been giving ALOT of positive feedback but you apperently just dont care

TheVedis, it's difficult to see that positivity when you 1) amusedly call us RPists 2) openly admit that you troll roleplayers in public and 3) go on a tirade like this.

I've tried to defend what's fair for everyone, but with attitudes like this, it's hard not to prefer that SE officially designate Balmung the RP server and leave it up to the haters to transfer if they're not happy. I seriously can't see how an official designation would change your gameplay, other than make it harder for you to openly insult the RP community.

[Nabiri]

I worry that if a new server is created for role-playing, the majority of the role-playing community will stay on Balmung with their friends, and there will only be a tiny community on the new server which may eventually die out.

If a new server is made, I won't know what to do honestly. I would want to be where the larger RP community is, but how will I know which to choose?

I can see that splitting everyone up and defeating the purpose of the RP server.

thats not nesisarily a bad thing though

if the community is on an unofficial server, ad its doing well, then why should it need an official server at all?

anyone who really cares will research the server they want to go to if they have those special interests anyway(such as roleplaying, or specific timezones and such)

This is fantastic news. Thank you for the reply, Bay!
