Unofficial RP server?

I heard at one point that since SE hadn't designated any of the new servers as RP, 'the community' had determined a particular server would be.  Since there won't be transfers or alts on different servers at the outset, does anyone happen to know which server is intended to be RP?  Thanks

    the RP community is split it seems and some say Gilgamesh and some say behemoth, Balmung is the unofficial legacy RP server as well.

    Just to be clear, it's not how you ping, it's how arrstatus pings.  He even put in a disclaimer to that effect.

    Some people are still hoping that Square will make an RP server, but it's probably too late for that (despite Square repeatedly saying they would and they it was being researched in how best to do it).  The biggest RP community is on Balmung as that's the original server for RP and is supported by the Role Playing Coalition.  The non-legacy servers are split between five different servers at present:

     

    Gilgamesh, Behemoth, Cactuar, Midgardsormr and Ultros (though I've seen a few posts regarding Adamatoise as well).

     

    It's such a massive split of community that really the only hope of a longstanding RP group would be either just joining the Legacy server or hope that Square releases a server where RPers will naturally congregate.

     

    Here's a video of RP servers from Gamebreaker (it may only be published by them as it's on their site) that's on XIVnation.com

    Here's the Role Player's Coalition Website that was made years ago when all the RPers from all the servers came together to finally decide to work together and join a single server.

    Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).  German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century.  Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now).  I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).  In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while.  If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.

    Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this.  If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own.  Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis.  Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.
