I'm for this as well.
We really do need more regular events. The only reason I've ever really played XIV is for the RP. I havn't really been on much recently due to rather bad depression (still ongoing, and gradually getting worse), which basically reduced my patience for waiting around ingame for responses to RP requests.
I also approve of more inclusive events, because to be honest, I'm sick and tired of people asking about RP, then when I mention there is some going on, I get ignored, probably because I am (or the the location of the RP is) not inside the bubble of the RPer in question. An inclusive event would allow characters to get to know each other and actually have a reason to join together during an unplanned RP.
I would personally recommend first and foremost an event based around bringing the RP linkshells together. I know this sort of thing has been attempted many times in the past, and I know that in the end, most RP groups just return to thier bubbles again, but this sort of thing I think is one of the best ways to break the bubbles of the RP community, because it gives reasons for members of individual LSs to visit each others' headquarters, which is where a lot of the more casual RP occurs (or at least in Corvus Cinis it does - or did, but I've yet to see anyone there particularly active other than me, Leanna and Miyuki in recent times, and even then, me and Miyuki are now spending more time at Little Ala Mhigo).
Another problem we have, and thus there is a greater need for planned RP rather than unplanned RP, is that 2.0 is approaching. This means a lot of RPers are either busy getting all the content done or not playing because for whatever reason they don't feel they need to until the update. That means they're not really available for on-the-moment RPs.
