What I usually see? Bar RP. Lots of people in quicksand or at some tavern having a drink and telling tales of things they've done at previous bar RP's.
What I wish to see? If it has to be bar RP.. at least extend it to beyond just Ul'dah. The drowning wench and Gridania tavern are nice areas, Kugane has one and hot springs too... other areas as well. Though I know Balmung is keen on this already for the most part, I just wish some other servers would pick up on it too. Overall I love adventure based RP, anything that has a group travel out in the lands, finding various locations and monsters to interact with. Some of my best sessions happen when we travel, even if in town areas... Just tired of bar settings. Events help with this but it still often leads to very variations of bar RP. Some better than others, and all of this of course is just my experience... There's likely more that goes on outside all of this, just when I look for it, I have trouble.
Favorite RP's so far are anything that relates to action, adventure, and travel. If we're gonna sit around and stuff our faces, I love it to be at a campfire made out in the land or at some worn building we found getting away from a pack of wolves.
I usually participate whenever I'm in the mood but I've been tending to avoid crowded areas because I'm not very good with a fast scrolling chat. At the same time, I try not to intrude on someone's session without asking first or at least giving some IC sign that I may be interested. In the times I've tried bar RP, it tends to either get me confused in some fashion ICly(my own comprehension's fault) or I simply can't keep up or think as fast on my feet as others in a group area. At the same time, I don't dislike bar RP entirely, just seems to be the most difficult for me to do at times. It also has a few dependent variables to it too, like how busy or what type of RP'ers are in the midst of the session.
