Having the entire free company be an RP zone would put a tremendous amount of extra pressure on players doing content that is hard enough as is. People who RP very regularly might be able to pull it off, but most RPers have to stop and think about what they're character would say or do, and that takes quite a bit of effort on the part of those involved.
To be honest, I wouldn't want to be in an RP free company unless the RP is a planned event. Otherwise it will turn RPing from being fun into a form of work.
Exactly that. When we did our plan and structure discussion. We did not want our Free Company to be in character at all, because it was going to be the mainstream hub for social activity, endgame etc. While at the same time, a linkshell could easily be used as our in character chat... especially with FC having 512 members or so and an LS having 128. So we also wanted to set up an LS for alliance chat between FC's that we're allies with so we could group up for things as needed or cross communicate. Basically, its having your social fun and endgame, while having fun in-depth rp with folks you enjoy being around.
