RP Server

Over my many years of playing MMORPGs I’ve come to learn that RP servers in general offer a much better gaming experience through community and immersion.
Whether they are heavy RPers or not, people who join RP servers have always enhanced my play experience in MMORPGs due to their gaming values (immersion, friendliness, adventure etc).

If Intrepid does not create an official RP server (which I really hope they do), I will do my best to seek out the RP community and to together designate an unofficial RP server (NA) as we get closer to launch.

I’m interested to know how many of you are wanting to join an RP server. I know the Ashes of Creation forums contains a very small pool of the community, but still would you please comment below with your interest or lack thereof in a RP server.

Poll is not going to change the dev decision not to have separate RP or PvE servers.

We’re not trying to change the dev decision. Even though a poll could change their decision... you don’t know that it won’t change their mind. So once again, stop making stuff up.
However, the poll would be mainly useful to see how much interest there is in the forums community right now for an unofficial RP server.

a poll would have to be done by intrepid and sent out to every registered (over 100000) user otherwise the data would be insignificant and not worth a dam

Basically this. It's unfortunate, and I totally get where OP is coming from in this situation. So I suggest just going to NA 1 and making that the unofficially rp server.

I wasn’t the one to suggest the poll in the first place. I commented on the poll idea because Dygz came in spewing nonsense.

The point of this thread was to get an idea of who’s interested and maybe meet some people that I could connect with and later on when a server list is announced we could start spreading the news about whichever server we pick to be the unofficial RP server.

I find unofficial RP's can work just fine. Especially if you have a good enough number of people interested. Hopefully a bunch of people are.

Can the players designate an unofficial RP server? Sure
Should they? Absolutely?

Should they be ready for a medium size guild of malcontents to join that server just to fuck with the RPers? Yes they should

I would be disappointed if they didn't

Of course... that’s the problem with Intrepid not being willing to create an official RP server. There will be no rules and regulations to uphold for the RP community.

But even so, an unofficial RP server is still better than no RP server. At least that way we’ll know that most of us are gathered in one place and can try to build a community.

Some people just want to watch the world burn

If they want to enable the RP community and help it grow, they should add a RP section in the official discord. In that section they should have a discussion section were people can talk about character stories and talk about rp in general, a discussion polling section for people to see what races and classes fellow rp'ers will be going as well as when a realm list is released wed have the ability to poll which realm we all want to go on. Could also have a separate guild recruitment section specifically for rp guilds.

I think RP Guilds are enough, you can make adventure events and be very RP heavy with your guild. Tho if there is a RP server it would be very cool.

Don’t run a poll to see if you should try to do an unofficial RP server.

Just do it. It’ll either work or fail but you’ll never know until you try.

pretty much this. RP Server always start in small groups on normal servers

Even if there are no "RP servers," there are still plenty of people who will be interested in RP guilds.

If there are RP guilds I would most definitely be interested.

Holy necro!!

I posted about this recently! I unfortunately have heard there will not be an official rp server. I understand wanting rp to be a natural part of the game, but that usually isn't the case in mmos with hardcore players. They will ruin immersion for the rpers and they will want to isolate from that naturally.

Unofficial rp servers will be created so why not just create one so it’s easier for them to join right away? I wonder how they would tackle players who want to be on rp servers because they think it will be "easier" for them to be "the best" though.

Because devs have to monitor official RP servers and manage complaints about players who break the official rules.

They have to do that with every server…

Dygz

No. Not really. Not when all the servers have the same rulesets.
In Ashes, the devs are not going to be managing complaints that people are breaking RP rules. The devs will ignore any complaints about that.

This just doesn’t make any sense… why would they ignore complaints about that and how do you know that for sure? XD

Without an official rp server there will be rp on every server, and people who break rp rules on every server, probably more so than on an official server. Because atleast with an official rp server it’s more consolidated and the community can help self police rule breakers.
