    I think some elaboration is required, as clearly there is some confusion in all the acronyms of modern society.

    2. to experiment with or experience (a situation or viewpoint) by playing a role.
    Also useable without an object (as is the current case)

    MMORPG - Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game

    So by definition, EVERY server is the designated RP server (aside from the lobby and DF servers, but they break anyway). If you are that against RPing, you might be in the wrong genre with an MMO. Heck, trash all your RPGs because that isn't any better. Time to go back to FPS, but don't do story mode. That is RPing too.
