Thread: If there was an RP Server, would most Ents play there?
I might, but it would have to have pretty stringent rules against OOC and leet speak outside of the appropriate channels. The CSRs would have to bequite vigilent on monitoring it. Unfortunatley, given the track record of the CS staff I doubt they would be as vigilant asthey would need to be. In addition my girlfriend/friends that would come along with me. Otherwise it would not be worth it.
Another thing would be that Jedi are not allowed on the server. I would argue the fact that as a matter of canon they should not be allowed on an RP server. However, that would lead to PvP folk (wholoathe RP and sometimes go out of their way to hurt an RP atmosphere)running to the server to avoid Jedi. So, I suppose we would have to limit PvP as well, perhaps in some arenas or battle grounds.
This was something that had to go in at launch, I'm afraid. Now, it's too late. Any RPer who is still playing the game after 2 years of minimal RP support from the devs, is likely to already have a network of friends on his or her "home" server. RPers tend to find each other -- I'm in a roleplay guild on Naritus. There are about 60 of us. I would not be surprised if we are the only 60 RPers on the entire server (well OK, I know of a handful more, but not many). Again, though, as few as we are, they're my friends now... I'm not sure I'd leave a bunch of roleplaying friends I have had for a year and more, to go to a server where people are strangers whether they RP more or not. You could say, "Well it's not leaving, since you can keep the old character," but it kind of is, seeing as how I can't simultaneously play both toons, and seeing as how, if the RP server were going to hold my attention at all, it'd mean drastically reduced login times on my current server.
I wish they'd made a roleplay server to start with... but I fear the ship has already sailed on this one.

Starsider and Kettemoor?
I agree. I recently started a character on Kettemoor after meeting many of the playes at the Fan Fest. I'm having more fun over there with the huge amount of roleplay that I find...way more than my 2 year old toon on Gorath. I don't hardly even like logging into my old server. I only do for the people.
I have heard Starsider to be a great roleplaying server.
Recently I have made strides on Bloodfin with roleplaying. We even got our visit from darth vader. That was cool.
As far as a roleplaying server? I think that would steal from the other servers, much like a no jedi server would appeal to all the jedi haters.
