The "Seriousness" level of RP these days

[Sabru]

Just how serious Discovery Freelancer is, when it comes to Roleplay and the depth of roleplay?

So my question is simple, just how seriously we treat RP these days? By that, I mean our own RP and the RP of other members, be they new or old. If you sit in the Disco TS a lot, you might get a good idea of what I am referring to, especially when faction leaders join in sometimes.

My second question is even more fun. Just what sort of players we target with Disco? Surely not hardcore RPers due to above mentioned examples. And we tend to look down on people, who join for the sake of just playing the game.

You join to have fun during raids, you are a lesser person. You do serious RP and people think you are trying too hard.


Where's the balance?

Hmmm.... this is quite a good point.

we cant really, as a whole, go uber serious on RP but on the flip side we cant neglect it.

@Snoopyman the attitude you describe, is in my personal opinion, part of a vicious cycle.

that being:

Newb does something ooRP ---> Someone PMs and offers advice ---> newb tells them off or ignores it --->the helpful player then goes "hmm... if they dont want help, i wont offer it." ---> Then we have the rise of "rule breaking? screen and report" attitude ---> not many people willing to help newbs because of the bad apples ----> Newb does something ooRP ---> etc etc etc.

Im NOT saying all newbs are like that, but they are present in Disco.
