Interesting, I guess I didn’t see it like that. Still, I personally wouldn’t be capable of RPing in an MMO, but to each their own. Thank you for the replies, guys.
Happy grindi…er…rampaging.

Question To Roleplayers

Not bashing on RPers with this question, I really don’t care how you want to play this game but I’m genuinely curious about something.

RPG means you are already playing a role defined by the devs. When you RP, you are essentially roleplaying within a roleplay, it just seems needlessly redundant to me.

I just want some clarity on why a RPG? Why something that already has a role, story and set rules? Why something where someone just passing by can accidentally ruin your RP experience? Wouldn’t it be better using a forum, with Tyria as the backdrop?

I used to RP back in the day but I could never see a video game being a medium for one, it just seems too constricted.

Sorry, if this is in the wrong sub, have no idea where a post like this would go.
