Roleplaying features???

Hey all

Just wondering if anyone knows if any of the testers have noticed any RP features in the game such as emotes, dances, player profiles etc...?

Also, is anyone else feeling a bit disappointed in the crafting side of Archeage? That it doesn't appear to be in depth and just a one click item creation engine?

Was just wondering...

    There are definately player animations/emotes. Not sure about dances.

    The crafting system does lack in the fact it's just one click and craft but apprently different grade items exist and there are 13-15 different crafting profressions. The fact that players will be needing new gear all the time combined with player crafted being the best means crafting in this game will be great.

    There are emotes and dancing, though I don't know if there's multiple dances or not. Not sure what you mean by player profiles.

    Crafting is click-n-craft atm, but I hope XLGAMES makes it a little more interesting. If they don't it won't kill the game, obviously, it'll just make crafting something you start and then go grab a cup of coffee. :l

    What I mean is by player profile is that you can write a few paragraphs about your character such as background, personality and history. Other players can then see this either by talking to you or rolling over your character. SWG did something similar for this and there are add-ons to apply it in WOW.

    I just liked it a lot as it brings some depth to the characters rather than just another player. I am also hoping for either RP servers or some way to highlight you are interested in RP.

    Yeah I heard that somewhere too and I think it sounds awesome. I also remember reading that you could also be a cartographer. Where you explore the world and can then sell your maps to other players. I so hope these ideas are true, I just love the non-combat features in MMORPG's it is just sad that they are usually just bolted on without any real thought or  depth added to them.
