But saying Ul'dah is the least interesting city is strictly your opinion. In my opinion Gridania is the least Interesting, and Limsa is the most frustrating to navigate. Ul'Dah is my favorite of the three original cities, both aesthetically and lore wise. Again those are my opinions.
That said I personally make my main RP hub Camp Dragonhead, simply because that's where my character is at this time of her story. So more RP other places is great...
But there's no reason to slam an area many people like because in your opinion you find it uninteresting. I just feel there was a much better approach to this.
and again just for reassurance. I'm all for people expanding RP all over Eorzea, I think that part is great.
I think you can pretty objectively say Ul'Dah is the least interesting. Thanalan not as much, but as far as actual different RP you can do Ul'Dah it doesn't offer a lot, and that's having been there for like 6 months. Gridania is up there as far as having nothing really to do but at least what they do have lore wise you can actually access. You literally can't even get to Ul'Dah's biggest attractions, they're literally walled off. They don't even give you the courtesy of like NPC's fighting below on some predetermined loop. Its just empty and walled off with some people standing above it scoffing at poor people.
You... do know that the Coliseum isn't the only draw to that city, right? Lorewise or roleplay-wise.
Most of the palace is open, there's the Quicksand, there's the Ossuary, seating at the airship lounge, some nice fountains up by the Alchemist's Guild, Pearl Lane and Sapphire Exchange, Gold Court... granted, the Sacrarium is also closed off, but there's still so much that we DO have access to.
Same holds true for the other cities. Limsa has the Bismarck, the Astalicia, Mealvaan's Gate, Fisherman's Bottom, Anchor Yard, the Aftcastle, the Missing Member, and so on. Gridania has the Amphitheatre, too many small houses to count, some beautiful gardens, and more secluded corners that I can be bothered to remember off the top of my head.
There are a lot of areas in each city that are walled off as of 2.0. If the issue at hand is that you feel restricted from roleplaying in such places, that's a problem we all share. That said, I've noticed that the developers improved on this point with regards to HW; Ishgard, in comparison, seems to boast a lot more accessible areas than its contemporaries.
