Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sam Witt" data-source="post: 1856933" data-attributes="member: 1449">On Lucan d'Lere (RP Server #2), the mix is about the same as for most tabletop games I've been in for the past 20 or so years, which is:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">50% hack-and-slay gamers who want to kill stuff, or otherwise advance, and don't bother with roleplaying most of the time. A small portion of these folks will get in your face if you RP, but they will quickly shut up if you RP and you're good at getting your job done. A larger portion of these people will RP with you, provided RPing does not end up in dumb tactical choices or weird group restrictions ("But my ratonga would never adventure with a dark elf, because dark elves ate my pet halfling.")</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">25% Roleplayers who get into character and stay there, often using obtuse language to get around talking about game mechanics.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">15% Part-time roleplayers who will roleplay along with you, but may break roleplay from time to time in order to more efficiently communicate about game mechanics.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">10% Roleplay nazis who insist that everyone roleplay as they do, even if the way they roleplay is not accurate as shown by the NPCs of the world. These are the 'elves always hate dwarves' and 'dark elves should be called drow and look I have two scimitars and my name is Drizzzzit' people.</li> </ul>Overall, you only interact with a small portion of the user base during your online gaming time. If your social network is approximately 300 people, that means you regularly deal with less than 10% of the population of your server at any one time, and potentially with less than 3% given that the actual server population is probably 5x larger than the numbers shown online at any given time, due to different time zones and work schedules.On the roleplaying servers, don't expect to see every one running around making flowery speeches and loud proclamations - most are like people in the real world, trying to get their jobs done or otherwise in a hurry to get somewhere and they don't have time to talk to you.But, if you find a few friends to hang out with, the roleplaying is as good (or as bad) as you want it to be.Sam</blockquote>
