FFXIV Roleplay: Reborn!

[Keisuna]

Just curious why did we start a new FFXIV roleplayers site when our mighty leader Kylins been handling the role players collation site for years now?
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/

Kylin doesn't lead anything. He maintains a website for roleplayers, that's about it.

I really don't see why they should be upset, more options means it'll be more known. When its just one community or one site it tends to eventually be forgotten. Its good to actively advertise that these communities are out there. RP-ers shouldn't be upset about more then one community. Most of the ones I know like having more than one place to gather.

I'm sure people can make arguments for communities that don't rely so heavily on community cohesion like a roleplaying community does, but I can't see any significant number of people who frequent any other FFXIV community as much as they do the one they prefer.

I think the biggest problem people in the RPC tend to have is that this new website has the same purpose and the same functions as the RPC does, and the person who made it essentially admitted to making it just for people who don't like the people at the RPC. It's hard not to take it personally when it seems like someone just made a duplicate website just because he doesn't want to hang around with you, and doesn't want new players to hang around with you either.

You'll find griefers everywhere. best to blacklist and ignore them and go about your business really. Even in official RP servers people will still troll you. I personally hope for more areas that are able to be used for these functions that aren't as busy as say an adventurer's guild.

Oh obviously blacklist and ignore, but that doesn't always solve the problem. I remember one time a group of people got together, crowded around us, and started casting Holy and Meteor around us while we were trying to roleplay. You have to give it to them for creativity at least.
