I say this now, do not accuse me of anything, I never accused you or any one else of a single thing, and I wish to have the same respect back; do not assume something about any one, my opinion is not un-informed nor is it liquifed hate, it is based on logic, and like I respect yours and many others, I wish to have the same in return.
I mentioned before that generaly speaking, the aptitude of an RPer is measured by their ability to deal with things that usualy would caues others to turn OOC. The more resiliant you are to that, the better RP you are; because this usualy comes with experience, as you are able to turn any single event into a favorable RP experience.
How does "OOC" talk disprupt your ability to RP, if two people are talking about that new "Iron Man" movie, they are bringing their real personality into the game, as well as their opinions, it doesn't impact you in any way, unless they ask you directly for your opinion; which is in most cases improbable. At the very thin end, you can just say "No I have no idea, sorry", you are still in charachter.
What you want is your own private space to RP; and I agree, every single culture deserve it's own space to practive what ever they believe, that is their right; but not single one should have the ability to dominate all others through special treatment. What I am saying is that RP should create it's own space as a part of something greater; which in result will enrich every player's experience and provide fresh blood to every single possible culture.
Because of this, and the nature of RP; given a little bit of time, natural RP centres will emerge, entire guilds are centered around RP; so that means that a major chunk of the world will be controled by people who wish to RP, and this is totaly normal; they will create their own space within that world; and everyone can RP and you protect that space yourselves, it was never given to you by the gods; but again, you are part of something greater, providing different culture to the game world.
In all probability my argument on unified servers is futile because it assumes the ideal case where there is only a single server, but I know that is impossible; and there will be multiple servers, each one resulting in unique cultures and conflicts...
