What does Holla Forums think of hardcore roleplaying servers? I used to think they were for faggots but after seeing some really impressive roleplaying I actually think it's pretty cool. Does anyone here RP in servers? How good are you at it? What do you RP as?

When I RP in anything Medieval, I dress up in my chainmail and helmet and leather coat-of-plates tunic

They're for faggots

What happened is that you've always been a faggot, and think it's okay now because you saw some other people acting like faggots.
Roleplaying servers are not okay.

Do you not role play when you play an RPG?

When I play ARMA I dress up in my cams and throw my chest rig on so I can authentically roleplay.

This garbage killed GMod and is always run by ban-happy no fun allowed faggots. Kindly die.

Role-playing is meant for tabletop role-games because there it actually serves as the mechanics. Until gaming can emulate the freedom of choice that tabletop allows role-playing in video games will always be looked down upon because it's basically just autism that serves little purpose to the actual game. If you want to role-play my suggestion is to go find a GM/DM.

They're for hardcore faggots

I used to play Freelancer RP. Helped the Bretonians push pirates and other faggoty empires out. Felt good man.

This mod was fucking fun if you played with the right people. I find it well-designed because it's not aimless, it's faction-based and you have the goal of conquering and furthering for your faction. It's largely Deus Vulting and riding to battle against your enemies with medieval RP going on.

the general concept is promising, but the current state is cancer. They're not narrative driven because there is no one serving as GM and if there is no narrative or quest goal, everyone eventually gets bored and drama breaks out. I've yet to find one that isn't either a clique server for cop roleplay or absolute chaos.

It worked in MUDs/MOOs as there was little the game could do that the player couldn't. The transition to graffix was what killed it as there was no way for a player to visually emote the same kind of complexity they could easily textually emote.
There were some attempts to get past that. Furcadia had a lot of unique systems for it, Second Life made a more free-form attempt, and Ryzom Ring tried a more gamified approach. But they all hit the same problem that it was just too complex and that it'd never be as easy to make imagination real as with text.

Apart from the twitch bullshit, that was pretty amazing.

...

It only works if the admins aren't shitheads. This actually reminds me.

I decided to see if NWN was still alive, and pretty much all the servers left are hardcore RP. I joined the only one that didn't need mods. It was fun as fuck at first and I had all sorts of weird scenarios I ended up in. I was constantly finding new people to RP and go on raids with. Raids where we actually reacted to shit going on and the environments. As soon as I hit a certain level the fun dried up immediately. I couldn't find anyone around my level any more and as a rogue I was pretty much fucked. When I did they just wanted to mindlessly grind the levels. Usually running in the same ring lightning fast to get to a high level, never venturing into any of the other paths. Hell, there was even a whole temple that nobody would venture into, because it wasn't as fast to raid.

In this stagnant state I kinda learned more about the server itself. There where signs everywhere that the glory days where long gone. Everyone pretty much had the game figured out. The community had a lot of unspoken rules of when to act in and out of character which ruined a lot of it for me. Worst there where chunks of the server who where friends outside of the game, and would rarely interact with anyone besides them. Then there where people who just cheesed the game hard to make some overpowered character who would dominate everyone else just trying to RP as a necromancer. Some of the classes where banned until you admins approved you just to avoid this very thing, and it sucked because in NWN the classes where wildly unbalanced.

At this point I kinda figured there was no point in trying to go any further. It seemed all the fun was when people where trying out new characters and didn't really know what was going on. If you tried actually roleplaying you could never compete with the people cheesing out a character that can kill you before you can react.

They're for faggots, but it's okay to be a faggot. Don't be afraid of being a little feminine. :)

There's no hope. All the long-lived (and thus well-run) RP communities there will have moved to using mods over however many years it's been.

Good morning, Rabbi.

There's a really good san andreas rp server called ls-rp, has 500+ players during peak times and most always rp seriously.

No need to be passive aggressive. Is it really a problem that someone does something that doesn't 100% fit in with their gender? I guess you shouldn't brush your teeth because you're a man and making any part of yourself more pretty is gay! Yeah, let's be more like niggers, those are the best example of how to be act like a man!

Yes. Faggots, transtrenders, soyboys and grasseaters aren't having kids and that will lead to the death of our people and our culture. It was a huge mistake when we stopped treating unproductive behaviors as sinful.

Birth rates dropping rates dropping are not just related to degeneracy and unproductive faggots, they're also related to a lack of competition (outside of the job market, everyone's entitled to survive except those who claim that in order to survive one has to be strong by birth or growth) but also to the lack of competition as far as land goes. We need to go back to eliminating african nations and establishing our own. Either that or we'll collapse to the hordes.

Nah kike, they're due to the sexual revolution of the '60s. Feminism, women in the workforce, etc.. At the precise moment we started mixing your poison into our cultures, birth rates plummeted. We need rid of you, and we need the vital job of raising the next generation filled again.

The unmodded one was modded but you didn't need to download anything. It was decently ran. The other popular server was heavily modded just for erotic RP. The other servers seemed to have too small of a population to be fun or reliable.

I wish I could get into role playing but it just makes me feel silly.
How do I overcome this?

I will never understand this.

That was the shit. Most people roleplayed naturally and lived in the world. Sandbox games are great for it.

What about eroticroleplaying?

It’s for people who legitimately have autism. Example.
RP, in these contexts, is shit.

In my experience erotic roleplayers are bad people. I have yet to meet a single kindhearted erper that was worth spending time with. I have experienced nothing but hardship and tribulation in my quest to find good eRP. I don't even have particularly high standards. I can tolerate bad eRP if the person is nice. But nice eRPers don't exist. They just don't.

Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places, I've managed to find quite a few good ones through MUDs and other stuff like that.

ERP is something you do with your wife, user. You’re not going to find anyone else doing it who isn’t mentally ill.

As long as you're provided the right tools and the DM isn't a faggot it can be pretty cool and give you some really nice experiences you can't get in any other game.

Why not fuck her instead?
Oh yeah, because you'd rather have other man doing it for you, soyboy.

If every HL2RP server didn't restrict you to the Civilian class without paying shekels or applying at the server's forums by posting your OC do not steal character background, they would not die out due to having an average player count of 2 every day.
All the other GMOD RP gamemodes are popular for a reason.

...

You might be thinking of ELARP'ing, retard.

99% of the servers are crippled with some "innovative" janky shit that doesn't work anyway.

Literally neckbeards jacking off to each other, e-rpers is the dumbest shit the internet could have brought.

What is it about two consenting adults having fun with each other that bothers you so much, user?

...

False equivalence. You'll never see someone who's "openly an ERPer" in real life shitting things up.

In fact they can only make their slimy presence online, e-fag.

You're not even trying anymore.

...

Sorry, would you like me to make this conversation a bit more exciting, so you can jerk off?

Just bully me harder so that I can cum already.

Those are furries.

Your first problem is that that is a furfag convention.

Right, ERPers

How big is your dicklet?

The idea seems interesting but I don't think I have the confidence to pull it off. And I don't really know how to get into someone else's mind without it being really uncomfortable and weird. Like roleplaying a strong warrior man would make me feel inadequate, or roleplaying a woman would eventually cause me to start feeling like a woman. Maybe I empathize too much and should stay far away from RP lest I learn things about myself I was better off not knowing.

I don't know user, maybe you could take a close look and tell me how big does it look like?

P O S T Y O U R F E M I N I N P E N I S

You could bet the fag has a full set of tranny porn feminine dicks in his storage, he jerks off to other after all.

other men pretending to be women online*
if the fag doesn't roleplay as the woman
or if there's no woman at all in the acting

What's the issue user, too afraid of becoming gay because you gave a man a boner through the internet?
My cock hasn't gone down ever since you first posted in this thread, you may not like it but we've been ERPing this whole time

...

And for griefing the faggots.

Whats wrong with pretending to be a woman :thinking:

Why don't you pretend to be one for a bit.

...

Id rather pretend my cock was rubbing your cute feminin cock

That's a bit too lewd!

It's just pretending user

Can't I pretend I'm holding your hand instead?

Sure you can thats nice, what about kissing?

You'd have to pretend to ask me on a date and pretend to have dinner with me first.

Can i pretend to ask you for your discord or steam first

I'm paranoid over people I know browsing this website.
Can't you take the lead here too?

Everyone laugh at the retard for not being able to contain his primal hunger for an internet dicking

...

...

That's because most women aren't worth reproducing with user.

Also Asians have the lowest birth rate despite not being pro gay or trans.

...

Don't go deleting it now, Buzzing#1458

It's ok user, some people on the internet are very rude but I'm sure you'll find someone to virtually hold hands with some day

I watched some State Patrol kind of guy roleplaying as a sheriff in GTAV, someone here linked to his shit. It's pretty weird and autistic but to each their own.

You should open a theater with all that projection.

It takes too much effort

Same shit

You're only a jackass if you're in character all the time. DnD is a good time, and half of it is just shooting the shit and having a laugh. Just don't be "that guy" who takes it too seriously.

I used to RP in NWN servers. Half the reason I did it was because the RP servers had the best modules with the most impressive scripts, like one server I played on which scripted in all of 3.5e's rules including grappling, and another which was set in Planescape and had its own unique spells and prestige classes. The problem with RP servers is the community is cancerous as fuck, and I don't just mean people who are bad or even cringy at RP. If it was that, I could totally deal with it and ignore them. It's the fucking awful nerd politics, pathetic assholes who feel the need to take control and ruin everything because their cousin won't let him play in their fucking D&D group because he's an annoying little shit. The last time I played on a NWN RP server, the mercenary company my character worked for was subverted by a cringy tiefling with practically unlimited funds at her disposal (she was captain of the knights of the main city of the module) and she effectively eliminated the company by taking over its leadership. Our leader was I guess a new player, guess it could have been one of the tiefling player's friends for all I knew, and he was naive enough to trust her people for funds and she basically wasted our time with a dramatic RP event which culminated in the ownership of the company being transferred to the tiefling. Me and the former leader quit after that. I'm sure fucking with everyone's companies and guilds is hilarious when you've played the module with 100 different characters, but who the fuck has the patience to deal with this shit when I just want to play the module for the first time and not have to worry about bullshit?

It's not a serious try-hardy event. It's a story telling game with wargame style combat, that's all D&D is. Same appeal as playing Dwarf Fortress, the real fun in that game comes from the ridiculous sequence of events that comprise a fortress's life, which is why it's fun even when you lose.

Usually shit, occasionally fun if they toe the line between hardcore faggotry but still allowing some humour.

'GTA-RP' is just a more modern version of MTA/SA-MP's RP (which nowadays is only slavs and hues).
