Searching for a game with real RP
Bodwin
Member Posts: 7
Now you all know what serious, strict RP is and I am searching for such game - which has the best RP community. I've played some MMORPG-s, but as long as I remember the only place I met RP-ers was at WoW at a roleplaying server. The bad thing is that even there most people hate roleplaying and I could hardly find anyone to roleplay with, but PVP only bores me to death 
. Any suggestions will be quite welcome and I really hope that there will be such games,

Also, Ryzom isn't Sci-Fi, it's Fantasy. At least, last I checked.
If you're serious about RP, join us in Vanguard...or just drop by our site and say hello!
In the Dark Province we dont grind a game we live it!
Are you a serious role-player? Do you want to be? Have you ever said to yourself, Those roleplay geeks do some pretty cool stuff I would like to try it, but I dont know how.
Come to the Dark Province!
The lovely Duchess Immorteliado is in dire need of knights, spellcasters, artisans, diplomats and prelates (you know those religious guys). Following the death of her husband, the young widow finds herself beset on all sides by enemies and so-called friends alike. Who will come to her aid? Who will scheme with her enemies? Who has the inside track on winning the hand of this lovely and talented young noble? Will it be you?
A RPE Guild - Role Playing Expected / Role Playing Enforced
By the time you've read this, you may have gotten the impression that we're a roleplaying guild. That's correct! However, we are not simply a guild with members who wish to play the role of a Warrior, Rogue, Mage, or Healer. We are a guild of members who wish to play the roles as Citizens and Nobles within the city of Dark Province and enjoy these roles while staying in character!
In the words of the Duchess herself:
"I am playing this game to get lost in what were creating here, and any ties to the real world will absolutely destroy it which is why team speak and such will not be used in our guild. When I am playing, I will not have a separate window open to chat and play at the same time. If ceremonies are being conducted or the leaders wish to discuss things behind the scenes, thats fine. But on a normal play day, I wont be in some other chat. As I stated before, over my 8 years of gaming, not once have I been out of character in game, and I never will be."
Still interested? Sound like it might be fun? Were looking for a few good founding citizens. Roleplay experience is not required what is required is a strong sense of community and a desire to play within our universe using our rules. If you have the desire if you have the heart if youre willing to put in the effort well help you with the roleplay. Experience Vanguard the way it was meant to be experienced.
Come to the Dark Province if you dare

well, I definetly agree with you guys. I also need a good story to keep me going.
I suggest you play guildwars, it is 1 big story line which also has some freedom in it. you are as always a chosen hero and stuff, part 2 is a bid sad, becouse you can only play 1 half of the game. yes also your other chars will be determanated to 1 side. bud the 2 sides are prettty big dont wurry :P
part 3 I dont really know I didnt even play the first try outs. I only know that party grown to giants, becosue you need to lead people to freedom. this is for your oppinion of carrying 4 other npc bots with you, and then 8 ppl makes 40 persons in the quest map pretty busy.
I can also recommand Flyff, I play it right now and you start the rp very soon, I won't say you dont have to gridn you skill higher bud I did it pretty funny with a party of 10. there story's are great and the monster not to hard. you can keep on going with your quest becouse you will do more than you ever think. (some are like walk from 1 person 3 meters to the other...
) btw all the quest are really connected to the storyline. if you want to make money no problemo you find the monster from your lvl and you will gaint drops pretty fast 
I retired from A LOT mmorpg's XD
Well, I can't argue with much of what you guys are saying, BUT...
To some extent, the RP in a game (or not in a game) is what you make of it. I have played in hardcore RP guilds in SB, AC2, and WoW. Our guilds were tight-knit, strong and maybe a bit elitist, but we carved out our own niche in each game and held it. In WoW I actually had an alt that I played only in a group with five other hardcore RPers. We got together once a week and only played those characters within that group. We never spoke a word OOC to each other. After a couple of months we were still level 10, but what does that matter? We had a ton of fun doing it.
If you're thinking that you're suddenly going to get a game where the majority of the population is going to be hardcore RPers and play the game in character, it's never going to happen. That's human nature -- don't blame it on the software.
I'll be honest -- the first thing I do in a MMORPG is turn off all the OOC channels. The guild makes its channel IC, and we enforce rules on OOC spatial for all our members. If someone comes up to me and says, "do u have 3s? i need 3s get a nu wepn," I say, "Begone beggar! I'm not here to provide weaponry to the unwashed filth!" or something similar. In a battle of wits, most RPers can destroy any leet dewd, so do it and do it in character. If you do it right, you coime out looking the hero to everyone around you, and he comes off looking like an ass.
If you hold to IC and refuse to be dragged down into the OOC muck; if you find a group of like-minded people who will do the same; then you will be in a real MMORPG. Blaming the lack of RP on everyone around you is kind of like people who say things like "The greenhouse effect is destroying our environment," but drive a Lincoln Navigator. The world is what you make of it to a large extent.
In World of Warcraft, check out the Steamwheedle Cartel server. I have a blood elf warlock, I'm in a very, very good RP guild, and I've noticed a lot of other RP. Can't tell you how it is Alliance-side, I'm afraid.

Guild Wars Night Fall is pretty easy to get to max level.. and also has some guilds that do live Rp ingame. I know that my alliance has doen it regularely - but i did not participate myself.

This is a link to the Ogaming fansite - you'' prolly will not find much readings to do in the Rp sections, but why dont you post a topic yourself? I think a lot of people would be interested
thankfully the graphics scare off the kiddies (:
It has enforced RP, and people who do not RP mysteriously catch a rare disease for a while.
It also has devs as Cultural Leaders to drive the stories and events at the beginning, is skillbased (with hidden progress!), and has probably the greatest realism I've yet to see in a game, and it is still a fantasy game!
The game is not out yet, nor has it gone into beta, so it will still be a few months at least before you'll be able to play it, but the community is great, and there is much roleplaying to be done out of the game before it starts if you wish.
Take a look, and see what you think!
Guild Wars is a good MMO (even though Arena Net call it a COORPG) for playing RP, because all the world, except the outposts and cities are instanciated, and so you can easily find a guild of RPers, wherever you're from and RP in this world easily I think. I haven't tried it already but there's been a long time since I thought about it and I often promise myself I'll find a Guild and play RP, but I'm the kind of people who hardly do what they planned to
Neverwinter Nights 2 is a really good game of course but in order to play in multiplayer mode, it's better to play in LAN because online it would be hard to find RPers and meet them at least once a week and play only together.
Another good game for playing could be EVE Online ; as to what I read about it in magazines it seems to have its own life, and to be a real alternative world that players can change by themselves, but I don't really know if it is really RP or not
"When all else fails, send a Templar."
x_x I thought you meant CoH for a second. Fixed. On WoW, my character's name is Nayla.

Get NWN1.
well, that is a pity. EVE is the best game to roleplay, as long as you understand that roleplaying isnt killing orcs, rescueing princess and talking like "thee" and "thou".
