Thanks for the replies everyone, my original post was created in a slight ragemode so I didn't really get the the point of everything I really wanted to say, glad most of you caught on to that and filled in the blanks. I think we're mostly at an agreeance that something has to happen, we're all feeling the lack of RP, not just due to the merges and the missing players, but as an overall feel.
Special mention to Verence, I didn't go so far as to delve in the kind of RP we need going on around here, and I think he made a lot of valid points. It's true! We need more than just the social gatherings we currently do. Of course, they're great places for our characters to meet, but it kind of sucks when my character can't bump in to anyone on the road while adventuring, or get pulled in to a whirlwind of events that makes her consider being a nun.
True to Verences point we shouldn't be making a ton of these events. They are secluded, and what every Rper should be begging to come rather than one of Yoshi-P's letters still not acknowledging us. But at this point... I can't remember the last large scale event like that since my time in the Eorzean Guard!
I'm guilty for it, I usually make social events for the larger crowd and seclude my special storyline events for my linkshells. In the Watch, for example, a little while ago we did a series of missions that were almost like playing D&D. One of us (me on an alt) played the GM, rolling my D20 at home (mostly) while players could roll the /random in game.
This turned out great! Nothing was predictable, people were put in situations where they usually wouldn't be, and rolling a 1 had real consequences! (Like Oskar getting shot). Of course, something on a larger scale would be very much at the permissions of the player.
Now I guess I'll go out on a limb here since I know we are all usually guilty of pulling the storylines in to our linkshells (who end up becoming secluded and stagnating RP for the shell-less). If I get enough support, or enough helpers and cooperators, I could probably put something together for the masses. Maybe something easier first, a sort of trial adventure, before whacking you over the heads with some serious lore-based storyline that I lock Shurin in a closet to create for me.
Thoughts?
