ROLEPLAY? Is it possible in this FPS?

The game Hasn't released yet but already there are sparks of life on the FoM forums www.fomportal.com/forum
Beta testing and screenshots reveal players orchestrating futuristic hostage situations, Jail breaks (since players can arrest and put other players in Jail) and all sorts of Mayhem.
People say that Roleplay isn't possible in an FPS but already players are making that crossover in the forums as roleplaying groups are building stories of how one group within a secret clan is an intergalactic rebellion and another is a genetical super soldier project within an opposing government faction.
The development team leaves it in the players hands to decide what will happen with the storlines they construct. It Should be interesting to see if it works or if the players will want it to work!!
Are there any sceptics out there??

I can safely say that roleplaying will be very possable in this game, although it has the FPS side to it there will be no "frag fest". The law will have very Sufficient means to stopping this from happening. Along side the FPS side to the game there is lots of other things to be done like training new Recruits into your faction, supply and demand for resources, Construction of items as fast as possable for profit and more.
So needless to say my votes gone into roleplaying will be possable.
it again comes to the players.
will the majoroty of players care about roleplaying and the story or just mindlessly fragging, personally im hopeing for the first option.
cant wait to see the outcome myself

I plan on roleplaying in FoM.
I love the fact that there won't be any level grinding. If you want to advance in the game you have to go on missions (Quests). When is the last time you were at work and you did your job for the Nth time and all of the sudden you had some new skill points you could put into your skill pools (Levled)?
OK, so it is a FPS. You can frag people at will. You can do that in RL, but you don't (atleast I hope you don't). There are other things in FoM, that you can do. You can mine or build.
I realise that there will be a few jerks that come into FoM and play it like Tribes or UR. I don't think they will enjoy the game as much. I also don't think they will continue to spend money on a game the don't enjoy.
I feel that this is one of the first games that will actually allow the players the freedom to control how the story unfolds.
Maybe I am just blind.

Don't look back, we are not going that way....B, Krous.
should be good
Roleplaying is very important thing to do in any mmorpg. Tell the truth to yourself - we all just LOVE to level up and skill up our characters - that's cool, anyone could say this. BUT. Real nice and mature (mentally) mmorpg player always puts roleplaying on the first place. Levelling up is important and fun too, but there will be no GAME WORLD, or GAME UNIVERSE without roleplay. There will be chaos and chit-chat. I've seen this before
So all I wanne say: Let's make this game interesting and alive! Developers did their best at this, so it's our turn now !
Bring it on....
People who try to turn the game into a frag fast will find themselfs in Jail very fast.
of course u can have roleplay in games like this,
its just any normal FPS cant be roleplay,
lets say u play counterstrike, thats an FPS, theres no roleplay apart from saying YES SIR,
but when u put an MMORPG WITH FPS u get a great game, and so, yes i think fps is the best thing that happened to MMORPG's
of course it is possible,
have a look at neocron ;-))
Bad example about Neocron =P
Don't ever mention that within FoM's wake. As me being a long standing Neocron player (Back BEFORE NDA/ACTKYC on Pluto =P) It's comparatively trash now.
