I wish there was a town completely dedicated to RP. With a school, Burger Refuge, bank, jail, adoption center, playground, etc. What would make this town different than the current towns is this town would have more player interaction involved in order for it to function. (ex: working registers, bar tables, a chalkboard that if grabbed can be switched to another preset image like an alphabet or drawing, ridable immobile playground horses, etc.) You could keep all the current establishments like the MoD jail, Onnet School, and Burger Refuge, but at least these places would be less crowded. Why would it matter if they're less crowded? Because Graal City is an outlet of people moving in and out. It does nobody any good if it gets all clogged up by spam or lag. Especially if it's caused by sexual Internet creeps.

This should be implemented
I didn't really take my time on this pic and I am not a lat i didn't use the lat client i used my paint application, I didn't really take my time on it so don't expect to be awesome. I don't add everything as it would be too much to add for a small ideal

This is my first blueprint of one part of the RP Town, this isn't official its just something to show what it could be like if Graal added this.

Hotdog Haven
____________
Step inside for the Dales most beautiful Hotdogs!
Inter-actable Goodies:
Working Cash Registers
Waiter/Waitress Jobs/Outfit (Touch the shirt thing and you wear the uniform depending on your profile's gender)
Buyable Hotdogs
Dishes (Bring plates of hotdogs to people)


Mrs.Haileys Adoption Center
________________________
Inter-actable Goodies:
Baby Playpen
Multiple Dog Houses
Little Toys
Cribs
Daycare Center
_______________

Balambs Little Helpers
__________
This building is for the newbies who don't get graal after the tutorial or didn't do it, or want to RP. Also RP'ers could teach and or help newbies too.
___________________
Chalkboard (When you touch it changes boards)
Helpful Npcs
Desks
Balamb Island small figurine model
Items (bombs, gralats, spikeys, etc, warpers, they are all fake, with labels so they can read what they are and what they do."
___________________

Helpful Actions
_____________
Buy new Ganis helpful for RPING!
___________
iLl leave this subject to if Graal uses this and what they want to put in that store.
_____________________

Jail
_________
same uses as Mod town jail but more decorated to look like it can be used for rps, handcuffs, etc.

Here's a few more suggestions I spit out of my brain.

Mayor Office: Basically, this would be a tower not involving PK. Instead, you'd find yourself in a government building where once you're inside you have a feature added to the more options button on someone else's profile. You will given the chance to vote once every 20 minutes on who you want elected in office. This gives the people a chance to alternate who they wish to have as mayor in the town. The person who is elected will receive a special guild tag automatically that allows them to have rights to the building such as: entering certain rooms. Locking/unlocking areas to others, lighting adjustments, change the soundtrack to the building, etc. The mayor wouldn't exactly be leader of the guild, but will have rights to recruit their friends to share the same rights as the mayor. Inside the mayor's personal office lists all the available commands they can use.

Runway: For all of those lovely models you see hanging around graal city, this gives those people an opportunity to show their stuff or learn how to fix their bluff up on the big stage. Basically what this is is an auditorium filled with seats for people to sit and watch those who wish to compete. By doing so, you can go backstage and there would be a button that allows you to join (kind of like a spar queue button) the contest. Once you join you'd be given 30 seconds on stage and model off to those watching. The people watching would have an option to rate the model. A half star being the lowest, three stars being the highest. Once all votes are in after the 30 seconds time period is up, the lights and atmosphere would change in accordance to the rating. For example, if you scored high the lights would flash and it would rain rose pedals like the rose pedal crystal effect for your guild house. If you've done poorly, it would rain garbage.

Bandits Cave: Why have a jail house without any criminals? This would serve as the opposite to the MoD town jail. A cave fit for all of Graal's thieves, killers, and con artists. In here you'd find a nice circular table with the globe over it so you and your evil buddies and scheme how to take over Graal. Dungeons with interactive shackles your character can be put up against. Basically this would be another jail, except it stands in opposition to the police jail. Instead of a police hat, items can be interacted with by using the bandit hat you retrieve in the MoD guild center.

There will be more, i will be adding on to it with new ideas from me/friends/or suggestions i like!  

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!  

Great post +rep.
IMPLEMENT. Graal city needs a more "material serious atomesphere" and there needs to be a VERY HIGHLIGHTED path/road to this role playing town. I say make it an island out to the southwest or southeast sea. Multiple routes to it (one of the unstick me spots, swimming, ferry, air travel, and drasine.

RPing in a pk zone would annoy players.
Jail to Burger Refuge to School is a long walk which can annoy players.
A RP town would be dedicated to helping the more fun side of Graal which may benefit the game.  

I don't see where this could be placed+I hope they make it better than why bigfoot did if they ever decide to do it  

I really want this implemented. I say the town should be in a cave near the ship that takes you to Balamb. +rep  

This would be awesome!

I don't RP - but if it would make a place for RPers that is *not* in Graal City than I love it

East of Master Li's, South of Graal City, that whole area is empty. Move the baddies to the York Bay-Grotto-Nexus area.

This is my position on the idea too. You don't need to make a specific town in order to have roleplaying facilities. Content should be spread out around the world.

Well at least add more buildings like a modeling area and add more inter-actable items for them so they won't seem so dull, no offense, add an adoption center i don't want to see 70 people in front of burger asking to be adopted

No one will actually spread out though unless you really force them to, the only way I can see it happening is adding things like this in every town+making the map entirely pk.

Little interactive items are added to levels quite frequently actually. An example of this is the Burger Refuge cash registers. I am aware of other items in production.

They seem to still enjoy the police station, which is something that I never saw coming. I think the reason for this is because of how interactive it is. Visual roleplaying is much more fun.  

More interactive things=more fun for RPers
