For me it is that this place (RPC) still exists and is a strong place for the broad church of the FFXIV RP community.
There is a lot of diversity out there and with this comes different views, personalities and styles. The RPC has managed to provide a melting pot for RPers in that messy world. It has managed to please some of the people some of the time, to quite a large degree, and weather the storms of displeasing some of the people some of the time. So the fact that there are things I dislike but others do like is a positive for the breadth of the community. And that is where the mods come in, they have listened and taken the time to adapt the RPC to meet needs in a considered way, not a knee jerk pandering way. Is life perfect.. never, don't look at what went wrong look at the fact that the RPC staff continue to strive to improve things, listening and adjusting. That's why the RPC lives and what I love about it. Char: [Nebula Stardancer]  FC: [East Eerie Trading Co]

RPC was what got me into the FFXIV RP scene to begin with. I knew there was something lacking from my game experience on Hyperion, and found this site by accident. The screenshot threads, finding out about events, making connections, and the wiki are the parts I enjoy the best.

I like the atmosphere. We've members from all over the world who are brought together for the sake of common interests. Yes, we might not all get along but I've met some wonderful people during my time here. My only regret is that I don't get to role-play with people as often as I'd like due to time-zone differences.

I love the lore discussions, I may not always chime in on them but I read them.Â
I love the amount of work people like Kage (I really don't think we appreciate how much work they do for us.) do to make sure we get all the information on game updates making RPC a one stop information site. I love a majority of the people here and have met some great new friends in game because of RPC, I think there's a very small group of people I'm not fond of, but even then I don't hate them. I love the mod team and site runners for taking time out of their personal lives to maintain this site for us, with little to no thanks. I think we forget these people don't get paid. They maintain this site for us because they love the community and the game. Over all out of 17 years of MMO gaming (98 with EQ1  ) this site is on of the best fan sites I've had the pleasure of using. The over all RP community is one of the top 4 RP communities I've had the pleasure of playing in. (Sorry all No one's been able to dethrone CoH Virtue server yet.) and honestly is the only thing keeping me in this game.  Â So <3 <3 <3 to you guys. Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.

I really like how useful the site can be for events, making new contacts for RP and generally how despite some of the OOC topics, it seems to bring the RP community closer in game.
And I do enjoy being able to post a thread about regarding a lore question and see how people respond with their own views. Seeing some of the awesome screenshots and artwork is nice as well. I will admit that I like being able to stalk wiki pages too...DON"T JUDGE ME! Peace is not my profession, it is yours. War is my profession. Should you fail at your job, I will not fail at mine.

I have met some really great people here. I now consider many of them good friends. So I love the people of the RPC, despite the fact that we have a varied mix here. Some posters have a hilarious sense of humor that actually makes me laugh out loud behind my screen.
I will also echo Gwen in that I come here for the FF news. A few posters (thanks Kage and the rest!) make certain that the latest news/live letters/patch notes are posted here and I really do appreciate that. A lot. Stories. There are some really creative people here. I love LOVE reading their stories. I always check the IC section first whenever I come here. And reading IC and OOC posts, it does let me stalk get to know other RPers which opens the avenue for networking! If it wasn't for the RPC, I would have no one to RP with now. And last but not least, the mods and the admin team. I will just echo what Freelance said since it was said so well. Freelance Wizard Wrote:I love the mod team for all the hard work they do. I've done the job and I know how challenging it can be; there's rarely right answers to the complex problems they face, and that they're willing to stand up and take it upon themselves to do a needed job is both admirable and brave. So bravo everyone. Keep up the good work of making this place the place to come to for FFXIV RP. Remember, we are the RPC. Let's appreciate it and take care of this place.

I enjoy that the people in game aren't actually robots made from my imagination since they are also active here with their own lives.
It's like IC is the world we rule over and OOC is like the long table where all the Gods get together and talk about how they like to fuck shit up with IC stuff. And also because I read through this forum when I don't have anything else to do to kill time. Kevin Gates - Told Me

There's not many lore resources available, and the game can be a bit stingy with miss-able text and/or changing dialog, so this site is great in that I can search up a topic and have it explained already.Â
The IC sections are just superb. Really, you guys are fortunate to have some talented writers in this game. I could honestly read Town Square entries for hours. Bravo on that. Last but not least, this site seems like a pretty positive place. Not that criticism is a bad thing, but its easy to get caught up in the negative, and its great how that isn't the case here. Its about the role play first and foremost, just like it should be.

I haven't been a member for long, but I have read a lot of the threads.
I really like how the site is organized, i've never seen a wiki and forum completely dedicated to RP in a game. When I first heard about, I couldn't wait to get involved! The fact that there is always someone looking for RP makes it easier to make connections. For me I have a hard time walking up to someone randomly in game and sending a /tell asking "Was wondering if you wanted to RP?". I feel as though the forums does a good job at making my life easier by making connections, and it not be awkward/embarrassing for me. The Screenshot thread, enough said. I just hope that I will become a more vocal person in the forums, and become more involved. ^_^

The amount of talent in this place, considering how large it is, blows me out of the fucking water. I mean, before here, I had assumed that 90% of all mmo rp was shitty and just something I would dabble in here or there once every couple of years for a change of pace. And yet, here I find myself spending as much time as on my main forum rp places. Not only that, but a good portion of users are kind, witty, delightfully wicked, intelligent, and/or perfectly honest -- which is something I've been hard pressed to find in most communities.
I like the way the site is run. I like the way people rp. I even like the way people go about their rp when it's not the sort of rp I like, mostly because there's no pressure for me to interact with it. Instead, people just do their own shit, and the only time I've seen it become an issue is when people feel like they're being forced to interact with something they don't like. Even when people are being critical of others' rps, I've always had a sense of "live and let live," which is how I personally go about rp. So, naturally, I greatly appreciate it. I dunno, man. I've made it a point to not be too socially invested in ff rp (I generally don't pursue friendships from ooc connections I make here or in game), but I think the community here is the shit. Also, I do believe that the moderation team behaves in a professional manner despite not being paid to do their jobs. Yeah, yeah, favoritism or whatever, but seriously, you guys, you don't know how fricking bad it gets on some forums (or muds or whatever) like this if you think this is the worst it can get. It's awesome here. Room for improvement? Sure. But that's everywhere you go -- people aren't perfect; you strive for perfection, but you're never going to find it. Good job, everyone. Thanks for being wicked cool.

I remember a time when the drama llamas of old were far more destructive in nature than they are today. Those people are long gone, and any negative influence they had has left with them. I don't think the RPC realizes how much it has it made right now. Nobody is out there trying to make a separate and new RPC under some manipulative guise. Nobody is out there on the main forums telling everyone how evil the RPC is and how nobody should support it. Nobody is waging massive political/ideological wars on the site's very existence. Those battles have all been fought and won through perseverance. The RPCs battles today consist of post editing/deletion/locking, speaking with/without filters, people posting about wanting feedback and then clearly not wanting real feedback, and...that's about it from what I can tell. That's small fry stuff guys, and it would be great if people realized that instead of getting overly heated on such things.
The RPC is at an extremely high point. I may have become a secluded hermit with minimal interaction with anyone, but even I can see that. The drama llamas of this era are ultimately harmless, events are still as populous as ever, posting activity is at an all time high, and the world (of Hydaelyn) is your oyster. The unwavering population here itself speaks for itself. Keep it up RPC!
