For one thing RP servers do not explicitly have to be PvE. For another thing an RP server generally has a specific set of rules for thing that a normal server does not. For one example of this player character names.

Now in Age of Conan (Funcom) there were two official RP servers. They were in fact RP-PvP servers actually (not PvE). Character naming was enforced by the mods so if you ran around with something offenseive or just blatantly not in the spirit of the setting (xXx_name_xXx) or some such as an example they would force you to change your name. There were also other rules but you get the point, I hope.

That would not be the same at all. Not even close.

Well, that is the big issue. I don’t think that an official RP server would work for Conan Exiles because they do not have active moderation on the servers. So, private servers are the only way to go. As @Taemien there is a level of moderation which is required and although Funcom had done so in AoC, for a very short time before they abandoned it without any warning to the playerbase, Conan Exiles has never been set up in any way to support such a system.

That is in part because of the massive amount of misinformation which is spread about them on places such as these very forums.
