I mean no one is forced to RP with the RPC, but it's the only group anyone in general knows about and has a near monopoly on it. The other large role play community has since dispersed with 1.0.

That aside at least with how RPC has done it we are a bit more integrated with the general community.

That's exactly how it is. We might be gathered in groups but that's because you need a group to be a community. What we aren't doing is segregating ourselves into our own clubhouse with a sign that says "RPers Enter Here". We have the opportunity to integrate ourselves into the community and, from the perspective of SE and the other players, if we wanted or needed to expand to a third server (like some are doing), we would be free to do so.

2) It hurts our community because we no longer have a visibility to other players who might not know what RP is or if they like it.

3) It makes those of us who like PVE and PVP chose between that and our RP because the RP server is going to have less opportunities for PVE and PVP (not none - just less).

It is what we are used to from other MMOs, yes, but I don't think SE is willing to accept that. Notice that there isn't a devoted PVP server either. So, yeah. I know it's frustrating, but I actually think SE is helping us by not creating some backwater server where we can do our RP thing without bothering or helping anyone outside our own little clique.

1. Idiots are going to think that regardless. We should not and do not have to worry about people thinking/saying bad things about us. PvPers don't get told to go back to a PvP server if they enjoy PvP on a PvE server. And vice versa. This is just an apologetic excuse for people whose opinions we really shouldn't care about.

2. I'd say not having an immediately obvious direction for new players to find RPers hurts our communityÂ more than having everyone spread out across numerous different servers.

3. You have to make this choice even as the current situation stands. You choose to go to the unofficial RP server(s) or elsewhere.

Can someone suggest official RP servers on Lodestone?
