Â Looks like there are at least four servers that people would like to RP on. Forcing people to make a choice to follow RP isn't fair if people have already made some friends and such on their own server.
Because that would only further dilute the Rp population. RPers are a minority, no matter how you look at it. And several months into launch, populations are going to drop (as it does in any MMO). Having them spread out all over the place would only make it more difficult for the overall RP community to survive (see FFXI). Now, if people still want to go to another server beyond Balmung and this upcoming server vote winner, they're free to do so. Nobody can stop them. But the RPC (which comes up first in a google search for ffxiv rp) isn't going to promote that and further contribute to the dilution of the RP population, as that's counter to its overall purpose. Any RP shell, regardless of server, can still advertise themselves in the Linkshell Hall and post here though. But we're not going to set up extra forum sections for them or anything. nor will we exert any effort in funneling RPers to those servers.
