Potential LDL to CB merger can we keep our RP tag?

rgfvagv · 01-08-2011, 01:34 AM

I fully support the merge, I would love to see new faces and an active server. I don't mind keeping the name Crushbone either.

However this post is for those of us on LDL and maybe even CB who are casual, avid and even serious roleplayers who would be devistated by the loss of the Roleplay tag.

I am truly adamant about keeping it, it is really upsetting to even think about losing it.. I love this game, I want to stay..I love my characters, I've been here for four years, please work with us SOE, it's just one simple thing we ask of you. People have joined the server in the past knowing that it was roleplay with the intent to not roleplay, I don't think it will cause the confusion you may think it will.

Please say something below if you are in favor of keeping the RP tag on the merged server.

In favor of keeping the tag..Neosho co-leader of The Fallen Facade, a roleplay guild, of Lucan D'Lere

AsphyxiaE'Fey · 01-08-2011, 01:41 AM

I to would like to retain the RP tag. Merge I can deal with, but losing the RP tag is another thing.

TorrynWoodsrunner · 01-08-2011, 01:43 AM

I fully support this effort. Regardless of server name, let 'em keep their RP tag.

The general consensus in the RP Community is that they are fine with the merge as long as the tag is kept. I can agree with this. With there surely being an RP population on Crushbone, I'm sure this would not be an issue.

Luciousbrujah · 01-08-2011, 02:15 AM

please keep the RP tag

Alaia · 01-08-2011, 02:19 AM

Yes...please, let's keep the RP tag on the server. It won't hurt these of Crushbone to be designated as an RP server.

Iskandar · 01-08-2011, 02:20 AM

As a Crushbone native since release, I don't really see what the fuss is all about... the RP tag won't really change anything about the server one way or the other -- but if it will make folks happy, then I don't have a problem with it

Masako · 01-08-2011, 02:21 AM

I fully support keeping the RP tag. The tag doesn't mean forced RP by any means for any non-RPer.

Landiin · 01-08-2011, 02:28 AM

The issue would be that only about 25% of the server would be RPers. If you added the RP tag to the server that would mislead new players into thinking the server was a RP server when it in fact is not a RP server.

DangerousOne · 01-08-2011, 02:44 AM

I selected LDL when I started playing for the RP tag.

If we are not going to be given free transfers to AB, then I think SoE should say that the new Crushbone server has an RP tag. It in no way impacts existing CB users, but serves to attract players who look for a place where RP will happen but wish to avoid the crowds on AB

You still have to consider the fact that there will be an RP community that is being merged into the populace. The merger would be iincluding those that choose to roleplay with the combined merge. The RP designiation has never been an absolute and percentages are a moot point to argue. Crushbone will be a combined poplulation of those who RP and those who do not. It in no way states that it is completely an RP server and will not be misleading anyone. It would preserve those within the new partnering that do RP and may encourage it as well with those that choose to.

Eritius · 01-08-2011, 02:49 AM

If Crushbone wasn't a RP server, it will be soon, tag or not.

DrkVsr · 01-08-2011, 02:58 AM

People (and ah use the term lightly) opposed to CB getting the RP tag do realise that the entire game is a RP game, right? Unless they really are a halfling with size 20 feet and the ability to provide Hair4Men with all the hairpieces they could need just from their little toes hair

Not sure why SOE didn't smerge the 2 RP servers, that way those from CB who are oblivious to the fact they aren't really a 4 foot bipedal rat wouldn't have their delusion shattered

This!

Designating it as an "RP" server, keeps AB from filling up even more and allows for at least one other option for RPers to know "HEY! We're on this server too!" It would be nice to know that a game entitled "EverQUEST" is able to support more than ONE single RP server. If there is no other designated RP server, AB will just continue to grow as people will think there are no other options.

It doesn't hurt the Non-Rpers, but is of great benefit to the RPers. I chose Lucan because it IS an RP server. I shouldn't have to pay for SOE's failing server numbers to TF off.

There's no real reason why the merged server can't also be designated RP. Its just as much "lucan" as it is "Crushbone". Without the RP tag I fear the RP will continue to die out, resulting in loss of subscriptions as much as TF fees to AB.

So signed - please, please, SOE - consider us!

Landiin · 01-08-2011, 03:26 AM

No because CB is greater in population and thus the greater population didn't sign up to be on a RP server.

The popluation difference isn't as disparingly great as you make it sound. LDL has about 201,987 and Chrushbone has about 252,013. So you are saying that just because there's roughly 52k difference that it tips the scales so greatly to slight 200k from one server that chose to play on an RP server to be stripped of their RP tag?

And almost 50% of the merged server DID sign up for an RP-prefered server.

Whether they RP or not, they been paying the same $15 as everyone else, on a RP-prefered server. The merge should NOT change that.

Kinda but not really since crushbone will have MORE RP'ers then any other server it is in a sense still an RP server.

Longfangz · 01-08-2011, 04:11 AM

Tag or not CB won't be a RP server, why lie to potential new players simply to appease the few people who want to act their character?

It wouldn't be lying as there will be roleplayers on the server once the merger is complete. Besides, what would be wrong with new people coming to the game wishing to play on an RP server to play with those that have now been moved to Crushbone that all ready RP?

Shazzie · 01-08-2011, 04:48 AM

I started on Crushbone. I moved to Antonia Bayle to be with some old friends, but I still have alts on CB. For a 'RP preferred' server, there's precious little (visible, obvious, outright) RP on AB, that I've ever seen in the years I've been there. There is no 'RP only' ruleset in this game, even on the 'RP' servers. Having Crushbone get RP tagged will mean about as much as it does on AB... not a whole lot... except that you might not have nearly as hard of a time finding it, if you search for it. I don't see it causing any problems for non-RP Crushbone players. I mean, seriously, what problems could it cause? You can continue being as RP-free as you wanna be.

I'll sign my support, though I only have a couple of alts on Crushbone.

The merged server will still have aproximatly the same % of RPers as does AB, does that mean AB having a RP tag is misleading and should also be removed?

Where do you keep getting these crazy numbers from?

Eq2 overall has a population of around 200k, claming LDL has 200k players on it is not helping your argument.

LDL has the smallest population by a massive margin of the remaining American PVE servers, as in its tiny.

Edited to add : polls and mass petitions on the forums are against the rules of said forums also.

Naggash,

I don't know where she's getting her numbers. But I can guess. From SOE:

http://everquest2.com/serverstatus/

To cut and paste from that link:

Crushbone

64.51

252,013

Nov 6, 2004

Lucan DLere

63.14

201,987

Nov 10, 2004

-

For what it's worth this is the listing for AB:

Antonia Bayle

60.71

346,834

Nov 6, 2004

-

The red "X" are GIFs that didn't cut and paste properly. Any colors that are hard to read are again due to just being a direct cut and paste, my apolgies for that. Most US servers are listed (amazingly enough) under United States. If you use that drag down menu, the RP servers are listed under Roleplaying Preferred.

Not to flame Rothgar but in another thread dealing with this topic, he stated that LDL wasn't avaliable at launch. I guess he's correct, as of exactly 4 days. LDL was created om Nov 10th. So Crushbone is older as of 4 days.

Now if those figures are inaccurate, fine, although I'd assume they would try to be at least somewhat accurate. But it's what SOE is posting on their website.

To be fair, I don't know if those numbers mean total account or total characters rolled up on the server. But I did assume accounts when I read the numbers initially, but yes I know it could be characters. And as an edit, to be fair I do now agree it's probably number of characters but even so she isn't just pulling numbers out of the air. At most she assumed it's number of accounts instead.

As for posting a poll, I suppose if the moderators wish to they can lock or delete the thread. But I'll leave that up to the moderators and how they feel.

Oh, to be more on topic, regardless if this is against the forum rules or not, I'm signing the petition. Mind you, I'm not taking some "Doom and gloom, the sky is falling!" mindset. I do see good with the merger. But I also don't see any harm or issues if CB inheirits LDL's RP tag. People that transfered to LDL to join a raid guild there didn't care if we had a RP tag on our server. They went to join a raid guild. But people who were new players or who were looking to transfer or roll an alt on a RP server are looking for that tag. There will be a RP community with the merger. Why not advertise said RP community, so that new people, people rolling alts to try a RP server and so forth know how to find it on a server other the AB. Not that people shouldn't go there, but AB is apparently so full that their only option was to merge us with CB. Shouldn't they also put a RP tag on CB when they gain LDL's RP community so that AB doesn't gain every new RPer coming to this game, and some go to CB instead, thus making sure AB doesn't get even more overcrowded?

Anyway, I will wait and see. Again it's not doom and gloom for me. But I see no harm, and in fact nothing but good for both CB's current population and us on LDL whom are merging with CB next month if they inheirit our RP tag. At worst, it does nothing to the new CB-LDL server so why not add the tag?

They are probably considering the population as the number of characters rather than the number of accounts.

Again that could be, but they also aren't clear. All we can do is assume given what SOE is posting from their official website. Again I did initially assume accounts, but yes it could very well be characters.

I do hope it's accounts though, since it's much harder to get estimates on total number this effects if it's characters. Who knows what the average number of characters per account might be, and if it's varys by a signifigant degree on different servers.

EDIT: To be fair you're probably right, it probably is number of characters.

The merged server will still have aproximatly the same % of RPers as does AB, does that mean AB having a RP tag is misleading and should also be removed?

Eq2 overall has a population of around 200k, claming LDL has 200k players on it is not helping your argument. LDL has the smallest population by a massive margin of the remaining American PVE servers, as in its tiny. Edited to add : polls and mass petitions on the forums are against the rules of said forums also.

They are probably considering the population as the number of characters rather than the number of accounts.

They are probably considering the population as the number of characters rather than the number of accounts. Again that could be, but they also aren't clear. All we can do is assume given what SOE is posting from their official website. Again I did initially assume accounts, but yes it could very well be characters. I do hope it's accounts though, since it's much harder to get estimates on total number this effects if it's characters. Who knows what the average number of characters per account might be, and if it's varys by a signifigant degree on different servers. EDIT: To be fair you're probably right, it probably is number of characters. __________________
