Y'know, honestly Etwynn, I am speaking for myself, and possibly kroqgar in this (Friend for a year and a half) but I would personally not mind having a person like yourself in an RP server, even if you really didn't RP.
You just had a lengthy discussion about what would be best, and never once broke down into "FUK-U!" or random flaming.
If you do believe that RP servers would generally be more mature, I figure they'd probably be mature enough to still let you hang out, be in the guild, join a group, whatever. Especially if you explained it to them.
As for someone saying "I like to RP, but I also like to PvP." They are not mutually exclusive of one another.
Trust me, Kroq and I RP quite a bit, though you honestly won't find us in character more than 40% of the time. Yet we still play lots of PvP games just for the competition. I've really grown tired of the idea that people who RP are a bunch've nerds who would immediately freak out and shield their eyes at their computer if a player would suddenly engage them and scream "Oohhh gawd, Its another player, ooh mercy me, I can't fight against another player, he actually thinks!!"
Seriously, what makes you think that RPers don't love playing FPSes like COD4, BF series, Halo (Though I despise that series... way, way too easy). Or played old school style games like UO.
The unofficial server example would probably work, I believe the server 'Virtue' on COH/COV is the 'Unofficial' rp server, as well as Landroval on LOTRO... list goes on.
I would PREFER to have a RP server, but if all else fails, just transfer/roll on the Unofficial server.
