For the past two years that I've been on Asura, I have not noticed any role-playing Linkshells. Why is this? Is there no demand for any Linkshells centred around role-playing; would anyone be interested a Linkshell focused around it?

Role Playing LSs were fun! But there was always a few people who'd take it too seriously lol x_x. That being said, I do miss them but over the years they've become quite scarce D:

RP is really hard to organize... lol. It's fairly unorganized at the moment and there really should be a site or something that keeps track of the active RP groups or something. I run an RP LS on Siren (always recruiting!) but yeah, its tough. Thankfully though our group still is growing.

It's especially difficult when there's no server dedicated to it; I've only met one or two players on Asura who were ever interested in it, or had done such previously with a small group of friends.

Furries really aren't that bad compared to 95% of things on the internet.

And, it's not like those sorts of people mind who they're enjoying themselves with...

I was on an RP Shell on Sylph (Crystalline) and helped run one on Asura (EternalVigil), but both sadly have gone by the wayside. RP had its day but I think you've just missed it, sadly. =\
There is a Final Fantasy XIV coalition forum out there. You could poke around there and see if there's anything still active on Asura or another server (if a transfer would be worth it to ya), but I can't find anything active either.
I wouldn't mind giving it another shot either. ^^

My friend was one of those. Found out when he had me take over his character for a few minutes once. Hooo-boy.

It's just that I wouldn't be particularly interested in someone role-playing an Overgrown Rose, or an Opo-opo. A Goblin or Quadav might be interesting, though.
It's a personal preference. If furry members wanted to role-play as beasts or beastmen, that'd be fine, so long as it didn't get to an uncomfortable level for any other members, just as anyone who wanted to bring any other sort of adult roleplay into the Linkshell would be dealt with. Call it "fursecution", but I've simply had more encounters with furries being adamant about inappropriate conduct over other fringe groups. Call it the "vocal minority".

If anyone is really interested in an RP group, enough to change servers (or *consider* changing servers) I definitely suggest you take a look at my RP group on Siren (website is here: http://vanatales.8.forumer.com/ ). We definitely don't RP cybering either. >.>; We have about seven consistently active members who intend to go at this for awhile actually, even long after FFXIV is released.
Since I know that RP can be a very dodgy thing to jump servers for, by all means, create a mule account on Siren or something and we'll talk more there and introduce you to the group. Just send me a /tell in-game or PM me on the forums and we'll set you up. :) Also feel free to stop in at our forums and make an account and read what we have and ask us questions if need be. :)

I don't really think I could ever RP.. Ok, Maybe if it was for like ONE PT, I'd play the quiet loner type, but after that, no.
Oh, and may Altana be with you.

I was rping in whitegate on asura earlier today when I used my kitty rod, I got told to stfu and another person /emote casted silence on me, yet nobody seems to mind all the HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE shouts...
Just proves why we're ASSura, I couldn't understand if it hurt the people or if I couldn't be blisted, or even if say couldn't be filtered, but those are all options!

That's so strange, because Asura isn't usually considered server full of overachievers; why can't people just stop and enjoy themselves, or at least pay no mind to others who are trying to?
