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

[Robobandit]

I disagree that designating a server as RP will keep regular players away. That has never been the case in any mmorpg that I've ever played where there was an officially designated RP server.

There are more than a few "normal" players who look for RP servers to make their home because the server communities are often better than regular PVE servers.

Labeling a server as "RP" also helps RPers find other people that are interested in RP and often have naming policies where names that break lore are not allowed (i.e. names like l337 warri0r or other nonsense that doesn't fit with the world.)

[Nix]

Haha Coris, I'll be avoiding the RP server with my main! I'll totally let you know where I'm headed though, maybe we will end up in the same place, who knows? XD /stalk /stalk /stalk

Pretty much this;
Hell when XIV first started up, Besaid was listed by the community as the unofficial RP server there was no segregation; it was just a hub that RPers could go to.

With the labeling of the RP server this will be no different, except that this time it's officially labelled instead of community labelled. RPers will know that there will be a higher concentration of players there but they're also free to go anywhere they want, same as before.

Nothing will change except that one of the Servers will have an official RP label instead of a community label

Have an awesome day guys!
