Mar 31st 2012 9:17PM (Massively)Storyboard: Flag a server
Mar 31st 2012 4:18PM (Massively)if game makers preplanned for RP servers with a framework that supported things like banning a player from a specific server from not the game itself, it would go a long way for RP servers.
First, there should only be one role playing server to keep all the role players concentrated. If you want to be a snob about certain role players, then stay with your click and keep an ignore list.
Secondly, make sure you have a bottleneck/gate in place that makes creating a character on an RP server take more effort than usual, and let people know they could easily go to a non RP server and avoid a lengthy character creation process all the while.
Provide a multiple choice questionnaire for people to enter the server with questions and answers that assert clearly what an RP server is, many people who end up killing an RP server's atmosphere don't mean to, they just don't understand what an RP server is all about.
This would leave only the intentional trolls to deal with for the grand majority of people on the server.
Now, make sure you have customer service and GMs who understand what this special server is all about. Possibly have some designated GMs specialized for a specific server type. Nothing like GMs who create content or RP, just people who understand what an RP server is about beyond a token understanding.
Players will be given a certain amount of strikes, and if they are reported for hostility towards roleplayers and constant problems, they can be banned from the RP server for good, while still able to play on normal servers.
These few rules would do a lot to improve the current situation with games like WOW and SWTOR for keeping roleplayers together and people who don't RP happy.

Warlock's green fire is not coming at release in MoP, no timetable
Mar 27th 2012 2:04PM (WoW)Blizzard will say if they don't want to do something. Blizzard has no problem saying they don't feel something should be a part of the game, things that are popular and people want. There will always be a million fantastic new ideas you have while working on a game, MMOS even more so, but only so many people and things can warrant devotion and creativity in the staff. Blizzard employs artists and creative people who are not robots. They work on what excites them. There's no reason to lie about any of this and no reason to be suspicious in the first place except to stroke your own sense of conviction to make yourself feel like you're a big boy or girl who won't be fooled like the kiddies at the little table.
