Two Questions for the Devs: RP Server and Legacy Naming Credits

[Majidah]

The development team is currently looking into this!

I'm really against this because I enjoy RPers.

It's like with the server locations.

Anyone can join in any server, but we'll hardly see any japanese players making characters in an american one for example. So in the actual practice something like this only promotes segregation.

So what I'm getting to?
If you are making a RPing server to get RPers out of the way, you found the way.
But if you are making a RP server to make RPers a favor... don't.

Having a RP server will alienate normal players from joining it and will make a ghost world out of said server.

I rather have everyone mixed up! It was really fun to see RPers make the server more lively with their In-Character /says and /emotes.

So yes to RPers, no to an official server.

The RPing community isn't big, and you have to remember they are also gamers. So by putting a fence around them you're just dividing us into more sub-sectors.
First by latency, now by your hobby.

And I'm almost certain that there aren't enough role players to fill up / merit a server in XIV.

What an official RP server will cause is this:
Players will make two characters. One in their normal server, one in the RPing server. They will only log to the second one when their RP session is in progress.
Players who only have one character in the RPing server will be in a world with an active population that doesn't even reach one hundred.

Take a look at the EU server. Its just one server and not even EUs want to be in it.
