Roleplay servers require a level of moderation that Funcom is not going to provide. In the past I’ve seen companies like Sony Online Entertainment, Blizzard, and others ‘try’ to do it. But usually just turn into normal servers. And even then, Blizzard was the one who did it the best and all they did was add roleplayers to the list of protected class for harassment related issues by elevating anything targeting roleplayers to the next level of severity. They don’t do this anymore and haven’t for over a decade.
Roleplaying servers need to stay directly in the hands of private servers.
