It's odd to me, it won't stop plenty of non rpers from joining it anyway.
Because every community is a revolving door. Veterans leave for whatever reason, new people subscribe, and the first thing those new people will see is a great big sign that says "Official Role-Playing Server." The majority of people interested in that activity are going to go there, probably without putting any effort into a Google search to find this website.
Without that revolving door, over time, communities stagnate.
That's why.
I am a bit hesitant to believe that this is a well-known fact to potential role-players who haven't even started playing the game yet, which was my point. (And even if they are aware of it, they can no longer create or transfer a character here anyway.)
At any rate, this is all hypothetical because I haven't seen anything indicating SE has any interest whatsoever in designating an official anything and the community on Balmung is currently quite healthy as far as I can tell as someone who's just come back from a one year hiatus.
