A plea to non-rp'ers

I'd like to think we can share Neverwinter with all kind of players but since the merger where we lost our role play server (mindflayer) I have noticed a influx of players I would call trolls in the only RP area we claim..the Moonstone Mask. While we interact with the entire community there is all of Protectors Enclave, dungeons and PVP for everyone else. I am not saying if you don't role play you can't come in but don't spam silly emotes, spells, or harrash people who do like to roleplay. You wouldn't like for someone else to ruin your fun in the one tiny area of Neverwinter you call home. So I am asking very kindly to show that your a mature member of Neverwinter and be respectfull
Thank you..a role player.

Couldn't agree more. You cannot get through any length of RP in the mask without having some obscene player ruin it for awhile until their ADHD tendencies kick in. Luckily there is a lot of traction gaining through a certain CM and other players about having Foundry additions to the Mask for roleplaying purposes. If that's the case it will certainly help weed out the unpleasant elementary players that stumble in.
Those that go to Moonstone Mask to do nothing but harass RP-ers are griefers plain and simple. A plea to the forum community is not likely to address this issue. Report the players and change instance if at all possible.
It would be nice if there were guild halls or instances of the Mask that were invite-only.

Find a way to integrate them into your role-play. Just for example, let them be victims of the spell plague and treat them as such. Tell them to go to Helm's Hold for treatment.

Probably a redundant question.
On topic: Why don't you roleplayers just move to a place which is completely empty? for example the Driftwood Tavern or that place where you can buy a appearance change token. They literally are always empty

The merge was always the plan from the very beginning.
Because that was always the plan. All Cryptic games are single server. Both STO and CO launched, and continue to be this way. NW only started with split servers as a way to manage the normal early launch crush.
The Moonstone Mask is its own Zone. Driftwood Tavern and all other PE locations use PE zone chat.
Which could kinda be addressed by turning off zone chat altogether and only using the "say" channel, which is what RPers generally use for personal interaction anyway to keep it out of zone chat anywhere else in the world.
The other big reason is because the Moonstone Mask was a single instance location and therefore people could always find the rest of the roleplayers without worrying about getting into the same instance. I'm not sure if the game ever reverted to this model after the Waukeen event forced multiple MM instances.

Foundries might be good for private parties but they are even more limited than mask since you have to be on the same team and if one person gets booted everyone has to exit the foundry so the 1 person can get back in. this can be very disruptive if somone is having connection problems or the game is having ANY event. as bootings tend to increase. but also with foundries there is little or no chance to meet new people whih is the point of a rp bar to make friends, recruit for guilds, and be social.
More rp zones or expantions to the mask could be a good solution for rpers sice rpers do buy a lot of pay content an since most rpers are not grinders they actually are more likly to be forking over cash. Id suggest either open up vip zone or sell vip access in cash shop. add VIP bank/mail/AH instead of blocking off a huge zone where people could be rping. let VIPS invite thier teams into the vip zone.
I am a VIP and i dont feel leet going into the zone cause noone is in the area. and due to trying to keep people from getting into the zone I cant actually target people on the main floor to look at bios from INSIDE the zone so i cant realy LURK. so it pritty much a waste of space.
as far as griefer management. nothing we can do other than ignore them even including them mildly tends to make them worse. and the ignore button is not enough as they can ruin our sit emotes ect...(though npcs do that to) so I pretend they are just NPCS.
Aaaaaah, i see i see.
I like Megaservers, but when i came back from my long break; one of my first conversations i had with some people communicated to me that it was a product of the community numbers dissipating.
On-topic: There are so SO many locations in this game to settle down in and Roleplay- it is just a matter of everyone getting together and collectively agreeing on a spot.
I would refer you to this.
vvvv----

Last I saw (During the Waukeen event) The moonstone only generates extra instances as and when needed, although the idea of having multiple instances is nice for that area, it would become a pain for those trying to meet up with other regular RP-er's I'd imagine.
Trolls would just follow them, they live and feed off of others misery. If only dealing with them were that simple.
Only one person took me up on it, so I’m still missing a first mate, lookout, and ship’s pet.

Doesn't like roleplaying, finds it awkward and creepy, and then roleplays to break the awkwardness.
Fascinating.
dont they still have separate servers?
Simply do not let them pull you down. Treat them like victims. Perhaps the cure to the spell plague has undisclosed side effects and it has a 1% chance to turn people into morons. These are the 1% ...
It's like each time I go to the moonstone mask, try to welcome anyone and they all move aside. Whatever...

Keep in mind as I say this, there are roughly a couple of hundred countries in the world and many of them have different ideas on etiquette. I'm simply trying to explain my own.
A conference room or lecture hall is private. An RP conversation is private, but, and here’s the key, it’s in a public setting broadcasted to everyone in the vicinity. That’s awkward, and it has me instinctively reaching for a hoodie, dimming the lights, and waving around a piece of foliage to simulate the only real way you can watch these interactions – crouched in the bushes with some tights over your head. When you’re telling jokes at say, a comedy club, there’s an understanding between everyone there that the normal rules of society don’t apply and we can all participate without feeling weird about it. An MMO is not that place. (Closed rooms in Neverwinter Nights and Diablo are but I don’t know what you’d call them).

Yes and no, all three Cryptic games are on the same server farm (The term server in an MMO actually refers to a collection of machines that handle the game, it'd be impossible for any single machine to handle all the interactions for multiple players in an MMO) and share a chat server (global channels cross all three Cryptic games). This is why they share a maintenance period and when one suffers networking issues the other 2 normally do too.
there's also a thing called respect meaning that if two people are having a conversation and you interrupt it, you may not be welcomed no matter how joyous you are. if you are interested in RPing, there are guilds and websites to join... or you can sit at the bar and talk to yourself.
someone is bound to respond to you eventually.
if you walk into a public place, you oftentimes can hear other peoples conversations, so even though zone chat is public, you can opt to ignore it or respond to it. but your interruptions may not be well received. not everyone is into role playing in that way and that's fine. you should have the respect to allow them to enjoy the game in the way they enjoy it. trolling and griefing players that want to RP is a reportable offense. but people involved in RPing can also block you so eventually you may just end up trolling to the air.
I know those guys might have their own scenario and stuff...
Talk to myself? Really? Mmkay, np.
