My two cents is being thrown in since I have been seeing a lot of, for lack of a better term, dissatisfaction with Ul'dah rp as of late for reasons ranging from it has become too dark, to that it is not aesthetically appealing to some, or that it seems the only place to rp.
Now personally, I love Ul'dah, lore and visually. But that said, I can understand how people who want to rp elsewhere can be disheartened. rp in the other cities is a bit harder to come by and if I felt I -had- to rp in Gridania cause I was having trouble finding rp in Ul'dah, I would be a little sad.
However, I know people are trying very hard to spread the rp joy. I know Zhavi and some others are working on setting up rp in Limsa which is awesome!
But if you really want to get people flock to Limsa for rp, why not set up an event? Maybe a pirate lord gets hungry eyes for power? Maybe a single rp event called "The Storm" where everyone gets together and rps having to endure a massive hurricane? Would be a fun night of rp and could lead to more rp where people try to rp rebuilding their boats damaged in the storm? Â I'm just shooting from my hip here but if there is truly enough interest in rping in other cities, set it up and they will come. I managed to set up an event when I was new to this game by simply asking for help. I knew nothing about the lore, still am a total lore noob but people love to help. This community is so friendly and supportive and I hate to see it attacking itself.
If anyone wants, I'd be more than happy to help brainstorm an event idea for another city with you. but you gotta run it. I have my own event to handle lol
I'm not really an event type person -- it's a holdover from the bunches of forum rp I do on other sites. But I would be supportive of someone who did want to do an event in Limsa, and would certainly help out however I could! In the meantime though, my focus is on connecting the various disparate people who do rp in Limsa and start up some plot bits or help out where I can and when I'm able. And continue to find those who do rp in Limsa, since it seems very much like the rp is there, it's just that no one sees each other rping.
edit - and what Kellach said. Consistency is super important.
