maybe a toggle able phase for role players in certain zones

Another plus for having it as an instance -- there's a lot of people that don't RP that would likely participate in organized RP-based events/festivals. Blue Skooma's auction comes to mind. If they were only on the RP server, the other players who don't normally roleplay wouldn't get to participate it in.
Sadly as I said in the op they considered RP instancing but abandoned the idea, I would be very happy if it were possible though.

They could always un-abandon the idea, haha. Perhaps one day that can make it possible; it seems like they have to adjust instancing anyway to make group instancing work correctly, so they might as well give us an RP instance, right? Right?
I can dream.
ZOS had said in the past that they were considering an RP phase for tapers to play in, but they abandoned the idea, I believe due to its detrimental effect on server performance. Since an RP phase seems out of the Question, an actual server dedicated to RPers would be great IMO.
I'm almost afraid to ask, but what exactly would make it anymore of a role play from the server we already have, and why would it be worth splitting the player base anymore than they have to? The OP asks a question, attaches a poll, but fails to explain exactly what they are interested in.
You seem to have missed the point, what exactly I'm interested in is irrelevant, the question stands on its own.
If you can't explain how it would be any different, then obviously no. We don't need to split up the player base, especially not for some unknown reason.
