So, no roleplay server?

[Abriael]

Whatever. What's it going to be tomorrow or next week? You miss my point.

That's because you don't have one.

The RP server was directly and very clearly promised for launch, and we're simply asking if it won't happen, and why.

The point you're making is that the same people are coming up with a bunch of different problems. The truth is that we aren't a collective complaint-dispenser. We're individual people, each with very different concerns.

The other truth is that this thread asks very little of the dev team, as opposed to requests for free trials and purchasable Legacy status (less money for SE) or unfeasible gameplay/graphical changes (more work for SE, equating to less money). Furthermore, as mentioned by others, this thread asks the devs to deliver on something they themselves officially stated.

If you simply can't contain your rude comments, at least redirect them to a more deserving thread. Even my complaint thread about the PC Collector's Edition would have been a better choice than this one.

Thank you.

You are right, there are more deserving threads.

I remember we were told that the team was going to implement a roleplay (RP) server.

Unfortunately I see nothing of the sort in the newly published server list. Does that mean we can forget about it?

If instead there's something in store, knowing before server transfers will be enacted may be a good idea, even if I'm not holding my breath about it.

According to the Blog, the server names Fern mentioned there are the "Beta 3 World names". The Data Center Post on Lodestone mentions that Sargatanas, Balmung, Hyperion, Excalibur and Ragnarok will be moved from the Data center in Japan to the NA/EU Data centers. The Data Center transfer will be performed at the start of the 4th Beta.

Up until now, none of the servers have been classified as an official dedicated Roleplay server and it was up to the players to decide which server which server they would use for Roleplaying.

Bayohne's post you've quoted in your original post mentioned the following:

However, Yoshida did tell us "I also like roleplaying, so with the launch of version 2.0 we'll prepare a roleplay server."

So, right now the server list which has been announced so far is bound to be expanded with more servers for the actual launch. And if i were to go by Bayohne's post, we should be seeing a dedicated roleplaying server by then.

I just researched what an RP server's purpose is...

I dont see why there would need to be more than 1 server TOTAL for this.

The trolling possibility is enormous for these.

I do agree that I don't think ARR needs more than one RP server at launch, or maybe two (one for NA/EU and one for JP).

IMO, they should just slap the label on Balmung and be done with it.

Yea possibly two because of the language barrier.

Ive honestly never even noticed RPers before. Ive seen people who get really into their avatars, but never knew there was a specific community that they belonged to. Probably because im a PvPer.

Not all of them belong to the "RP community". A lot of people just like to go to officially designated "RP" servers because the communities on the servers are usually a bit closer knit and better to be a part of. In most games where I've been on a RP server, there have been server-wide player-run events that get planned and scheduled and people actually show up to take part.

I'd be just fine with this myself!

After reading some of the other forums out there, I think I have to amend this statement. I'm finding that there are new players who want to be on a RP server, but don't want to play on a legacy server.

So, in a perfect setting, ideally there would be 4 roleplay servers for this game:

• One NA/EU Legacy
• One NA/EU Non-Legacy
• One JP Legacy
• One JP Non-Legacy

However, Yoshi-P has only (so far) confirmed that there would be "a roleplay server" (meaning singular). If we're limited to one, it only makes sense to designate a server that everyone has access to. And since the majority of the RP community already resides on Balmung, a legacy server, it's really just logical to designate that as the RP server, IMO. That solution is the most fair to everyone, and causes the least amount of upheaval.
