Indeed... we already tried that once (after 1.07) and it did not work.

I don't think you guys on the PVE side will have to worry.

Sil, correct me if I'm wrong, cause I probably am...

My guess is that what we'll have is, the PVE Server, the PVP Server, and the Blood and Glory Server.

The Roleplay "tag" will be available for all three I'd wager, thus allowing roleplayers on said server to interact with each other, and mostly just each other in the open world. A server within a server. We'd share global and stuff, and my guess is that for BK Zones, Minigames, and Instances/Raids, we'd share the environment with everyone else on the server.

Which would allow for RP-PVP to live on as well as RP-PVE. And RP-Blood and Glory even?

Sil, am I accurate? :P

If this system takes place, I hope that there will be communities for different languages, and that we'll have a place where we could speak french, german or others. Without this, any server merge would be problematic for non-english speakers...

Does anyone know how the chat restrictions will work? Too restrictive for RP and a lot of RP'ers wont bother to come back.

[-Maeva-]

If the chat restrictions are the same as for trial acounts, it means they can't use global or send tells to premiums who haven't put them on the friend list. It shouldn't be restrictive to RP if people just subscibe to the trial chanel (at least guild leaders so they can recruit and help people looking for guilds) and put people you meet and like to RP with on your friends list. I think most people would do that anyway.

However since we haven't finalized the designs there, I am always a little reluctant to say 'definitely'...but the plan right now would be that we will use that system to allow roleplayers to find each other and play together.

Well, if I read this and are a bit "negative" , I guess the RP can choose to put the letters RP in front of their names so others can see that you are a RP'er

Lets see what Sil wrote, quote: you will be able to flag yourself as 'roleplaying' and then you would also be grouped with similar players in the general world : end quote

The magic words here is "The general world" that means in short that them with RP tags will be in the same world as the others , so I dont think we are to hope for some neat instancing for RPers here.

Hihi, we will be easy to spot for them who wants to grief RPers xD

Lets see what Sil wrote more , quote: ........ the general world, but take part with others for group activities.

I think it means that the others will be where the RPers are ...in the same zone/instance so they all can do group activities (grief/gank/harrass/mock)with the RPers.

And as someone posted up here, I guess it will take so long to get to live servers that the RP as we know it have died out for a long time.
Just see how long we been waiting for premades/premades que for PvP minis.

O well, I guess Im a bit negative , but I dont think that FC will make such effort for their small but loyal RP community

So this means you regular game-play could be within a certain community but you still benefited from the ability to play with everyone in the long term. For this technology to work we must first do merges to bring players together at a database level. That means that in the short term the existing physical servers will be merged to create a set of environments that we can manipulate and specialize in more interesting ways in the future.

What about Blood and Glory then?

I asked for clarification on his twitter.

And if he read my question right, and thus answered it as such, then what it means is, if we have the tag "RP" on, then outside of instances/minis/BK zones, RP tag will effectively have their own "server" within the server.

Awesome. So all the retards have to do to grief us is to tag themselves as RPers to enter the same zone as us?

lol RP

This is exactly my fear, unless the choice to tag or not to tag RP is a one-time permanent choice for each character.
