I see RP everywhere in Ul'dah! And in Limsa when I visited. The Quick Sand is amazing, but it can also be overwhelmingly loud, especially for those not accustomed to it (and even then, this barmaid gets overwhelmed at times and has to seek a quieter spot!)
Hosting events in housing gives people more control over the space, at the disadvantage of being out of the way, and so missing out on drawing people in at random. That's just a trade off for those hosting the events to take into consideration. In all honestly I have not yet attended an event at a house (though I have also only been invited to one, thank you Faye!), but have attended many out in the open world.
I guess I'm generally of the opinion that letting people RP where, and how, they want is what is healthiest for the community at large, and I see no reason to go against that here on Balmung, which features the most pleasant and encompassing RP community that I have ever had the pleasure of being a member of :-]
Edit: I get a feeling that it wasn't intended this way, but I really can't see why anyone would ever "push" RP away from anything! What a horrible, horrible concept! If you really want more RP somewhere else, create it, take part in it, and let it grow and flourish. Its not a zero-sum game, and anyone intent on trying to capture RP from another community (be it server, FC, area, group, what have you) would seem to be approaching things from a rather resentful point of view; there's just no reason for that. I love Limsan RP, and have been absolutely thrilled to see it become more prominent. In part because I just love RP in general, in part because I like variety, and even more so because I know its made a lot of people happy :-] This is a net gain for both Limsa and Ul'dah and, most importantly, for the Balmung community at large!
