But I think the reason why people did bring it up because it does come off as a side-effect of having a very large server in the first place. While yes it is up to people to seek out RP; the same time I think casting all of it on the player individually is a bit awkward too. We have a huge server people are going to feel left out; but it's like throwing more onto what's already going on. So I see your point just as I see Kylin's; just as I can see the plight of the RPer (and PVErs who are stuck in stuff like Chocobo) and the situation SE is in. It's just all sorts of frustration.
Really, it comes down to one thing: having options is good.
A lot of people like the biggest baddest community on offer.
Some people like smaller and tight knit.
The benefit is that both groups seek out the option on hand, and those options should stay relatively the same (bigger server being bigger, smaller server being smaller).
The biggest problem has always been getting a stable rp population on a second server, because wanting a smaller and tight knit community is not the same thing as being willing to start out on an untested community that hasn't weathered years and continues to thrive. Getting there without giving up is hard, particularly because people see how rough it is when they get there and go right back to the easier option.
So hey, if we're gonna have a lockout, let some new folks (edit - and those who like the idea of moving/having alts) be forced onto another server and set down roots.
