What do you do about people that hop servers just because it is less populated?
What do you do about the potential lack of player density in cities?

The most economic solution to this problem is to just add an option in the "social" settings of the game that make you immune to the mementos of overs, which you will have to turn off during New Life and Jester's festival to participate in the relevant quests where pies and mudballs are being thrown.
Horror stories? Can you name a specific instance or provide evidence of that instance happening? I can show you unspeakable horrors from roleplay only servers to counter the reason to why a "Roleplay" server would be worse than what is available now.
P.S. we are on megaservers, a roleplay-only shard does not make sense and would have consequences.

Having mud thrown on you by non-RPers in a video game hardly qualifies as a horror story that would necessitate the need for a RP server.

Was your previous post replying to me? I was merely suggesting that more enforcement of trolling complaints would be good, I certainly wasn't trying to troll you.TybaltKaine wrote: »Is there a specific reason you feel like berating my question, or do you do it just to get a rise out of people? It's not an absurd idea, given the prevalence of other games that already have RP servers.
If you have an issue with me, PM me.

We've all seen the horror stories about trolls and griefing when folks try to RP, so maybe a dedicated space for it would help to reduce those occurrences. It's not like you'd be setting a precedent, as they exist in other games already.
Thoughts?

No. ESO is about combat, not RP.

No, ESO is about playing how you want, which includes combat but also RP. Is your cup of tea just beating things? Sure thing, go ahead, but roleplayers are also playing the game correctly and deserve the same attention from ZOS. Besides, it's kind of silly to say an RPG isn't about RP. What's next, Call of Duty is about admiring the scenery and bird-watching, but not combat?
"I'm not sure how the game currently sorts players into copies of a zone but maybe ZOS could add an option for players to be sorted into an RP copy with only other players who have picked that option."
You did question how to keep those not role playing out. That would be really tough to handle. Aside from the trolls you would also have players that would take advantage of a near empty overland to gather resources with no competition.

Maybe they can do some kind of limit on gathering resources and make these areas more for immersion and playing through the quests and story and do resource collecting stuff only on the normal server. I’m sure there is a way to
Balance that or compromise.
