MPK train the tavern so their RP LS can gain claim while we wipe?
They use RP claim bots. Claim all the best RP before we even see it come.

1) An over populated server can be rather annoying, from being able to log on and not have a queue to pve type environment where all the monsters and such are being camped by 10+ people. A medium population server will give all of us what we want I believe. But that said, I don't really want a medium population server where 90% of the population is just RPers who tavern sit haha. It's nice to have a server with layers: The hardcore pve types, the layed back pve types who RP on the side and the RP types who only pve to maybe get a piece of town gear they want. A server with a good majority of the middle ground would be good imo.
3) I still don't think there will be THAT big of an issue for griefing towards RPers. FFXIV will have no pvp, so that narrows the crowd down and eliminates a lot of those type of people. It's also not WoW...which thank god eliminates another handful of people who don't want to actually work towards progression and just want things handed to them. Dealing with griefers would be a 2 step problem imo. First if they are part of a linkshell, talk to their leader in that linkshell, see what's up with his crew and their issues towards RP. 9 times out of 10 a linkshell leader will not stand for their members coming off as total jackasses to a server, ESPECIALLY in FFXIV or FFXI, where reputation is a bigger deal then in WoW where you could just name change/faction change/server change every 3 days. Step 2: If the person is not in a linkshell, or their leader is a prick as well would be to just ignore them. People that grief get very frustrated when no attention is paid to them at all. Trolls love flames, and if you don't feed them fuel they wither and die.
