Just because there are some RP groups in FFXI that have shut down doesn't mean that we all have or that we're struggling to get by... oh well, with comments like these bothering me so much I should really just stay away.
Like Castiel said, this is a community for FFXIV.. the fact that we are even highlighting (stickying and discussing) RP in XI should be seen as pro-Vana'diel, not anti, if anything. And sure, your group may be doing well (it's excellent to hear!) but for those of us that RPed in Vana'diel during the heyday when our RPLS' had 30-40+ members and you needed spreadsheets and flowcharts to keep track of all the plotlines and story arcs going on, yeah. RP in XI is kind of dead.
There are a lot of active servers still, and not all of us came from yours. The last time I played FFXI was last year, and the RP shell I tried to participate in never had more than one person in it online at a time, ever. It's not "anti-Vana'diel" to have a different experience from someone else on a different server.
