Someone mentioned a sports bar as "RP" earlier. Well unless all they're discussing at that sports bar is chocobo racing and Franz the Fair's last battle at the Coliseum, chances are it's not a RP spot at all. It's a just a place where players get together to talk about real life sporting events.
I'm aware what the traditional definition of RP is, I've been apart of several different communities for it across the last 10+ years.

I'm saying when RP is brought up in 14, it's either people pointing to venues as "RP" or asking if ERP is involved. I've heard on more than one occasion, especially recently, that if you don't have Mare and have no interest in ERP then you're passed over as a partner the majority of the time. This is just how it is now lol. It's sad but yeah...big reason why I distanced myself from it over the last year or so. Just still get told things from friends and in public spaces.
