I'm all for open world roleplay! Honestly, I love the stuff.
I'm sure some free companies and groups of roleplayers engage in it more often than we may think. I try as often as possible to take things to an area -out there-.
Ul'Dah seems to be the most common, with Limsa close behind and Gridania just a tad bit lacking (there are times when I have seen Miounne's place positively teeming so I won't say it's completely barren). The cities serve as hubs for people to meet at, and a lot of the time people's characters actually simply live and work there.Â
Gathering in one spot increases our chances of meeting each other as well. If we all scattered out into the world a good bit of us would never actually see one another! Naturally, excursions can be planned with our friends -- but a lot of people need to meet these friends first! The hubs are the best place for that. There's also the issue of the lowbies who wish to roleplay but can't access the higher level areas without an escort.
The best way to get your stuff happening out there is to just do it! By all means, meet your contacts/friends in the Quicksand/Drowning Wench/LolGridaniannamething. Then take the scene elsewhere! Get people hooked, let them come along. Recently Berrod challenged a man to a fight and they went out to the Sil'Dih excavation site to have it -- along with a few spectators.Â
It's out there, and if we want more of it, we've gotta make it ourselves.
