I'd move. If I kept my assets and gil. Of course, I'd gauge if my friends were going, but if SE just did the minimal rules WoW had for RP servers? I'd be game. Considering they actually enforce it as well.
That said, I don't get why people think PvE/PvP people wouldn't transfer to RP servers. I had plenty of non-RP friends. They just liked seeing the RP. They liked the immersive names. They liked the stories people had to tell. The art people had to show. They just didn't RP. They might lurk on RP events at best, but they just be doing their own thing. And that was fine with me. Not everyone hates us, really.
And honestly? If my friend groups end up being split? I'd transfer off one of my max level chars at least.
