Rp servers?

[Ilan]

Hi fellow Warriors of Light! So I love making awesome macros, and I only put worded macros on spells and abilities with long cooldowns, or situational ones. However, some people hate when you have any worded macros, and they have told me “This isn’t an rp server weeb!” “Go to an rp server if you want to act like such a weeb!” And I’ve never thought about it till now, but are there rp servers where people like me use macros? If so, which ones are they?

The problem is that you would need a whole RP datacenter since you are not ending up in dungeons from your server alone but from your whole datacenter.

And even then, most people on rp worlds aren't rpers themselves. I moved to mateus before it became an rp hub, because it was small and had lots of plots available. We were on balmung before and that had no housing. Unfortunately the rpers decided to go to mateus too...

In yell? No wonder people got mad. It's not the whole zone like shout, but it does cover a lot of ground.

Or maybe don't spam the chat box with messages on skills.

Hell, even on skills that have a long recast time it gets annoying. No one wants to see it unless it's information someone needs. If you want to RP, that's fine, but the problem comes when you throw it at everyone who doesn't want to RP. I have party sounds on for a reason. If someone is pinging the chat box, it means I need to know about an ability, or a mechanic that is coming. I don't wanna have to deal with "Darkness come to me <se.1>" every 3 seconds in the party chat, use /echo.



Might be better off finding an RP linkshell in your server. Not sure about other servers, since I don't RP, but Siren seems to have a lot of RPing going on.

btw if you dont want to see rp you shouldnt be playing a roleplaying game Jrpgs are ment for rp lol

They're different types of "roleplaying" though.

A regular single-player JRPG isn't roleplaying in the sense (as in this thread) of "act out your individual character", but stepping into the role of a pre-defined character and controlling them through the game.

Note that this game gives you the "Roleplaying" status for the sequences where you play as another specific character.

those 2 words have vastly different meanings, bud.

edit:
in this modern age, an RPG in the video game realm heavily focuses on character advancement and storytelling (all FF games, Dark Souls, Witcher), not necessarily acting out your own roles. In the context of this discussion, I'm referring to your unique RPing as your character(s) for whatever purpose. These games aren't entirely void of RP, but its not their primary focus.

You're referring to DnD like games or video games specifically tailored to RP (2ndLife). I guess my point is, No, not all RPGs are the same in the sense everyone cares about roleplaying. The genre has evolved immensely over the last 30 or so years.

Not all RPGs are focused on RP in generall, it's true. Still, calling somebody a weeb/creepy/stupid/etc because he likes RP when you actually play Japanese RPG is just wrong and well it's not okay in any case (I saw a lot of people who thought that they have right to insult other players just because they like RP) .

RP and RPG are 2 completely different things. I play FFXIV because I enjoy the game. I'm not saying people can't RP, but it's very annoying in dungeon parties.

A lot of you have talked about party chat, all my macros are set to yell. Then is no sound when I use a macro. Only my greeting and goodbye macros go to party chat.

This sounds a lot worse then just the party chat.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I've blacklisted people for less.

No one wants the chat box spammed, whether it be bot, or RPer.

No sane roleplayers actually do RP inside dungeons, unless it is with a premade party where the purpose is to RP inside.

I've had my party chat spammed by a Dark Knight that had custom text linked to their attacks (in the party chat). It's still annoying either way, dungeon, or otherwise.
