I agree Val. Its actually a little known fact that I RPed in UO. I didnt talk funny or anything, or even align myself with in-game factions much. But I did play a "character" that had a certain set personality, and acted in a specific fashion according to its personality.

So basically noone ever knew I was RPing, but to a degree, I was. Of course I came to UO from the origional NWN on AOL, and remember being suprised that noone RPed, and that UO players thought RP was, in fact, talking funny. Real RP is impossible, because the percentile of ppl in mass-market games who is even capable of understandng appropriate RP IS, is so marginal.

Plus real RP is something that happens on a player level, not a group level. When groups of RP-players get together, you can get a cool group. When a group says "here come we are RP" you get a costume party.



That's how I am with my Crimthan character. His prime weapon is the polearm, and he tends to wear medium armor and is more of an offensive warrior. Whenever I play him, I have certain goals in mind for what weapons/gear I want and the moves I utilize in combat. The latter usually dictates the class I choose for Crim. You'll never see Crim as a caster, healer, etc. In fact, there are certain class spheres I play, and when I play them, there is usually a specific name assigned to the individual foci.
