Namely, what usually happens when you have a PvE server of every single PvE player running around in a large open world space such as, say, Malgrave, and you try to host the RP Malgrave Beach Party there?
 
I haven't played any other MMOs like GW2 that have this system, so I'm curious if the beach party will have to be forsaken for the sake of keeping the event relatively sane and about RP.

			We don't know yet. Depends on how the Megaservers work. For example, if there are too many players in an area so new arrivals get sent off to another instance of the area that can cause open world events to have issues. Maybe if people break up into raid groups and use raid chat for rp that might help.

I foresee areas such as main cities, Gallows, and those areas that are already set to phase you will continue to phase you and get in the way of OWRP. However, I like to think that those of us who want to RP with you from Evindra can now do so without having to shirk our mains on a PVE server, as I would have to, in order to hang out.
 
I truly do believe with the number of guilds on PVE servers catering towards RPers, that we can have a healthy RP immersion where it's only seldom interrupted by griefers. That's me crossing fingers. If nothing else, I can hope that with enough people pointing out who is being a griefer, their quality of life in the game will be minimal provided our overall community is accepting.
 
That said, this is just my experience on Stormtalon. I've never seen RPers griefed here and have more than once remodeled my house to provide an RP environment for those who prefer player housing to OWRP.
