I'm sure the more that express interest the easier it will be to get what you'd like to see. Maybe you can even get someone to do a small rp event there so that everyone can get a taste of it? It could be something as simple as an icebreaker introduction party game but done in character.(08-09-2013, 10:58 AM)Falkner Wrote: Hi, Syjak! Good to see another Asian RPers!
If I'm allowed to ask (and you don't mind to answer either), are you from SE Asia?
Because I too consult the (big) community in my place here (where they almost anonymously voted for Tonberry and seems to consider those choosing other server as some kind of freak) before I stumbled upon RPC.
Believe it or not, only one or two person in the said community actually knows what RP is, and I'm not saying their reaction is friendly either when they finally read about it because they think I'm about to be a player with "Higher-than-thou" attitude...
I'll be honest to you. That makes me a little worried about what kind of atmosphere is waiting for the RPers in Tonberry.
But if it's all good for you, I truly wish you a lot of fun playing the game and have a lot of interesting RP sessions!
Hey there, Falkner. So its really that obvious, huh? Yes, I am from SE Asia.
I see. That's good news indeed. It would be awesome if we can make Tonberry the unofficial English-speaking server in JP region!Â
I mean, its great that the country is giving us such a wonderful game, but I'm surprised they didn't stop to realize that there are a great number of players outside Japan within Asia that would love an English-speaking server with decent latency.Â
But hey, I'm not complaining. Maybe things will change in the future. Who knows, right? And yea, the FC I joined doesn't even have an RP section. Looks like its going to be a challenge to RP in-game.Â
So are you going to be online on the 16th? It would be great if we can link up.Â
If its not too much trouble.Â

Since I am from the UK I would've prefered to roll on an EU server, but honestly the RP community is so small (in comparison with the rest of the playerbase) that there isn't much point.
However, I am really interested to find out how you play on a JP server as in FFXI they were notoriously biased towards the Japanese-speaking players if there was a dispute.
I hope that there is at least a small RP community on Tonberry for you to interact with - and if there isn't, and you find you want to do more RP you can always move your character, right?
Take care!
The pleasure is all mine, Xaaniko!
If its that difficult to find a proper RP community in EU, I shudder to think how its going to be like in JP.
I, too, have heard of such discrimination in FFXI, although I never played the game myself. Lets hope its better this time around.Â
Thank you. I do hope so too. Bad latency breaks immersion for me and I don't fancy playing with 300+ ms latency too much but  I suppose its an option to pay a bit of money and transfer my character if its really that bad.Â
Cheers!
