Hmmm.... getting a bunch of members from disco on a MMORPG... that would certainly be an idea.

With the proper organizing and help this could be something interesting...

Might be worth looking into.

If you feel lack of RP - search for text RPGs.

FL MOD(EL)MAKING: TOOLS, RESOURCES, TUTORIALS AND MY SHIPS (OLD)

I am on discord: Roal-Yr#5994, I don't log on forum more than a few times a year.

I am not making ships for FL anymore, I am making my own space game instead:

In order to have another RP community quite like what is here on Disco, you'd need a game that meets the following requirements:

- Multiplayer involves a persistent, server-based world.
- Allows individuals to host their own servers, and gives hosts and admins sufficient power to enforce RP rules.
- The game world can be altered to reflect an ongoing storyline. (Through modding or in-game mechanics)

There really aren't that many games out there period that meet even just the first two requirements. It's common to see RP groups on modern MMORPGs on official or unofficial RP servers, but the problem is that there are no public servers I've ever seen that have as rigid or well-enforced RP requirements as Disco, and thus most groups are limited to RP within their own group or with other like-minded groups. Plus you can't mod an MMO and very few allow private, self-administered servers.

That's why a lot of serious and mature RPers stick to older games. There's still a lot of RP communities within text-based games like MUDs, or older games like Freelancer or the first Neverwinter Nights, which has several active RP communities that are similar to Disco, such as this one.

I'm sure there's many here who would love to find a haven of mature, serious, and active RPers in a massive, dynamic game world free from all lolwuts - but such a Shangri-la just may not exist.

Basically this. On all the public ones it's just people sitting around cybering on the local channel.

Yes... i believe you're right... Yet, it's never harmful to try and look around.

Even with lolwuts, just something with a more friendly atmosphere...

May i ask why? Wouldn't you find it interesting to know there are others somewhere else that share the same feelings about RP like the people here?

On another note... trough my research i've found something. At the idea of someone else, i tried to look for MMORPG-s where RP is valued over PvP (which is a rare thing in most MMORPG-s these days...). I don't know what to say about it... but this seems to be something worth looking into:
