Do you people feel entitled to crash parties held in public parks too? If they really want to make it private they can hold it at home or rent a private venue, right? With creative use of decorations and a little imagination it would be just like the park.
If you are turned away politely, accept it and move on. Its a big server, someone else would surely be happy to include you.
I find it hard to believe that someone might own a gaming console but have literally no other access to the internet, but let's say there's someone like that. What prevents them from taking their scene to tells, or to party chat? Nothing does.
If there's an event going on in a public park it's a public event. That is a public park. It's paid for by the public. I am a part of the public. I pay taxes which pay for the park. Similarly, I pay a monthly fee for access to a video game in which the domains we can wander are also public (except when they explicitly aren't, such as private chambers). Similar to my comment regarding OOC request, were I to see something interesting going on in a public park and wander up inquiring cheerfully what the occasion is, and I were given a polite request to leave them be, then I'd surely do so. Civility goes a long way. On the other hand, if one of the adults there stomped over to me and screamed at the top of his lungs, "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE GTFO YOU WHORE", there's no chance I'm going to merely obey that. Rood.
On the last note we agree - if you see someone doing RP in public and you try to interact and they politely decline by tell, hey, cool. Absolutely move on. Like I just said a second ago, civility. That doesn't mean you never attempt to walk up to people doing public RP, though. And it doesn't mean you should have to send a tell and beg them to let you interact with them like they're the owners of the zone and you're not allowed to RP in the same breathing space they're occupying. No. We all pay the fee, we all have an equal right to RP there - by default. A nice request to give them some space, though, does wonders.
