I am just wondering... seriously what is the story with RP? The players who RP, do you just like type out long narratives, is that what is really going on in those RP channels (and on the RP-themed retail servers, which I never tried obviously?)
I just don't understand the motivation of it, when there is an actual game sitting there for you to play.
Back when MUDs were popular, I understood the people who roleplayed a lot, because there were no visuals or sound, just text.
But with WoW... I mean why is it more fun to sit around in a tavern and talk about an imaginary event when you could actually go out and do something in the game together? (Or I am just misunderstanding what you guys are doing???)
Also, what happens if some douche bag screws up the whole scenario by just being an ass? Do you run into that a lot? (Think about all the retards on barrens chat for example... now imagine one of those turds wanders in your RP channel/group/etc and just trolls hard for like 5-10 minutes...)
