SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

I agree, do not be upset with the staff who monitor the forums. Creating negativity towards them does not help our goal, despite our frustration.

I was speaking with Verence the other day, venting you may say. I mentioned this to him, which Rowyne touched on already, that /some/ response from the staff would be quite helpful and encouraging. RPers have been very patient with SE for many years, as well as understanding. I understand that they likely have seen this thread, but cannot post a reply one way or the other for an internal reason, after all they know more about the going-ons of SE than we do. For all we know, they might be waiting on Yoshi-P to make an official announcement regarding this. Now, I know that is wishful thinking on my part, but it's just an example to illustrate my point, so let's not get upset with the staff.

But- they /have/ answered threads which came after this one started, and had a lot less replies/views than this. All I personally ask for, is a simple nod from a community rep, so that we know that this issue is being looked into at least. We are reasonable people, we can wait for the answer. In fact, this thread will only continue to grow and reside on the top of this forum until we get some response. It's not going anywhere.

I will be editing the OP later today to reflect changes based on the Server news.

I know this doesn't help coming from a non-CM, but I believe the Rukkirii factor has placed the info in the necessary location that a fluffy beast will be relaying to Yoshi-P and friends.

However, the resistance and concerns raised in this thread have further impeded the response, being more cautious on approaching the topic. And the decision folks have prioritized resolving the Server Merge debacle more, which is delaying their response to this thread.

I believe the CMs would prefer to post with a conclusion than only the acknowledgement of its escalation and reasons for the delayed response.

edit: Maybe Tuesday a response?

If you guys are ever gonna get a server itl be when they open NEW servers for 2.0

They will not force roleplaying upon already existing non roleplay server(besaid IS NOT a roleplay server officialy, and they will not announce any server to be unofficial cuz thats just not how it works).

So if you want a server, work on it towards then, or keep up with the unofficial idea.
It worked at launch, it can continue to work now.

ans when one day they open a roleplay server, you can all go there if you want, instead of forcing those of us who dont want to be on an official roleplay server to have to put up with it in that regard. (you guys should be the ones who have to transfer, not everyone else since it is you who want the special treatment)

All you RPers, please decide on a server ASAP.

I want to make sure I avoid it.

Thanks.

Got nothing against people playing a game in their own way, as long as it is not expected of me to do the same.

With that said, Besaid + Fabul it is not an official RP server until SE makes it official. At that point, I will probably move.

[Nabiri]

Seeing as Besaid is going into Balmung, it's likely that most role-players from Besaid will be staying just so people don't have to all re-organize and get up and move.

IF in 2.0 SE created a new server and called it a RP server, I can see it tearing the current role-players apart.. being more of a hindrance than a help. Since many already have friends on Besaid/(Balmung).. half the community may choose to stay on Balmung, and half move to the RP server. It would do no good. I think if SE is going to label a server "RP friendly," it has to be the existing server with the highest population of role-players.

yet in doing so they would be alienating the non roleplayers on that server, thus why they WILL NOT do it
much like they made a seperate server to designate the EU server, thats the only route i bet they will go with it

That is your opinion. Or perhaps you have a crystal ball and can tell the future?
I don't see how it could possibly alienate anyone. Just as the "recommended EU server" won't alienate NA players. I've seen plenty already who are choosing to go there because it suits their needs/wants.

of course the EU server wont alienate NA players, no one is forced onto it, its all by choice

but what im saying is that if they go for a RPists server, its only fair they do it in the same manner, that all RPists who wish to participate should choose to transfer to it
and that it shouldnt be forced onto a current server, cuz by doing so you do alienate everyone who doesnt want to be a part of it

dont force people who dont want to be on a roleplay server to transfer off, thus breaking ties with those who are gonna stay

The RPists want the special server, then they should have to do the legwork and choose to go to it as such, its a consequence of wanting one, you cant say its not fair that your releationships may break up, but then say its ok that others may have the same happen to them so that you can get your way

All RPers should just stay on Besaid or Transfer to Bulmung. Problem solved. If you don't want to RP transfer away!

and thats fine, it can stay unofficial and no one will take any real issue with it
just like its always been
