Hmmm My FC RP's open world all the time. You'll rarely find our members in cities ICly said for advertising. Â I'll usually take IC interviews in the Bismarck or locations in Ishgard now that that's open but honestly, I don't see the appeal of talking about your adventures in Ul'Dah vs. actually going out and DOING what you're talking about ICly.Â
A lot of people use the QS to talk about all sorts of things--whether it's pick up ERP, plot evil plots, or talk about their adventures. Â It's a weird place because people will just openly plot the end of the world there sometimes and it's like...okay? How do I take this ICly...
If you don't want to RP in Ul'Dah, don't. Make connections and have them meet you somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Make plots that have you go DO something. Right now my FC is ICly heading into the Hinterlands to go do an IC dungeon run because a few of us are scholars interested in lost technologies/magic.Â
It's easier to complain about something like this and do nothing about it rather than trying to change current RP habits. Seriously though, just try it. Ask your usual contacts to meet you somewhere in the middle of nowhere and go on an adventure. It's really fun!
Quick Edit: I also think that there are a lot of groups who RP in open-world spaces who do it in closed channels. My group did this for the climb to the hinterlands because we didn't want to spoil stuff for people still going through Heavensward, etc. So it's there but a lot of people don't do it in open channels. If it doesn't spoil stuff, I'll do it in /em because it doesn't really matter too much to me...
