I have been a WoW player for years but even I have to see face the fact this game may never recover. However I am an RPer. While others may find another battle to fight or how one Digital dragon is no different from another. We RPers are the one who are truly scared that we will have nowhere to go.
So I ask this not for myself but also my fellow Rpers, what do we do now?
To an PVEer and PVPer this is the go to respoinse. However us Rpers are different. we have heard of RPers being banned in that game for IC interactions or even for RPing in general. W do not want to join a community where to rp one must walk on eggshells.
Whatever you may have heard is not indicative of the full truth. Regardless of everyone’s feelings of the importance of the game’s story, FFXIV is a very social game.
Public ERPers get banned pretty quickly if someone is able to report them. However, RPers congregate in really public areas and interact with one another even if there are others around them who do not actively engage in RP. There’s usually one or two servers that this happens in per datacenter.
FFXIV is actually a really easy game to RP in, but getting any meaningful RP requires that you find a social Free Company or Linkshell that you can interact with. Public RP can only get you so far.
