Primal DC RP Coalition
This is an unbiased list of all active SFW RP venues in the Primal Data Center. These venues are examples of immersive, character-driven roleplaying in our community, and the purpose of this is to make them more known to those within and outside our DC.Please keep in mind that while all members on this list are gil-free venues, they may still trade you items as some see it as part of the immersion. Please decline politely at your own discretion.All times converted into US Eastern Time; venue links can be accessed by clicking on the image or provided link.If you have any questions or additions, changes, or removals of the content seen here, please see the Contact page.
Maintainer's Note (5/6/26): This is by no means a complete number of venues. Please check out the contact page if your venue isn't currently on this list and you would like it to be.Inactive venues have been archived until they have a confirmed opening.If you'd like to also offer your venue up as a open RP estate, please contact me!

This is both a list of venues for myself to remember when things open and also a love letter to the community I've been in for nearly 10 years. Thank you to all the venues willing to go along with my idea and I hope this benefits you in some way whether you're an owner or a patron.~ Ami Athimor, Library Director of the Crystalline Library
Rules for adding venues / open RP estates:
Your venue or open RP estate must reside in the Primal Data Center-- this is a Primal DC list, after all.
Safe-for-work venues only. Venues should be rated around PG-13/T content during venue hours, which means no extreme violence or adult topics and actions.
Venues will be examined on a case-by-case basis. However, any venues that aren't RP-focused, have services offered for real gil, offer DJ music, and/or have giveaways with gil or digital items on a regular basis will be met with higher scrutiny, as I want to keep this list friendly for all players who want to discover venues built for RP.
Venues should aim to open at least once a month, regardless of when, and unless otherwise discussed, is subject to removal by the maintainer.
Open RP estates can be any sort of estate-- houses, bars, clinics, caves, prisons-- whatever you've imagined and created.
Open RP estates must have their doors unlocked at all possible times and must update their information as soon as possible if they move or remove their estate.
Players should be respectful to the owners of the estate, while estate owners still maintain the right to ask visitors to leave for whatever reason.
