There's a difference between RP, RPG and a Minigame.

[Chrono]

you need to add "RPS" to the list, its a role playing server.

Did you expect an RP to be hosted on the main menu? Of course RP is going to be in a server.

I've been surfing around here (as usual), and I'm seeing lots of people throwing these terms around a lot and decided to clarify on what the hell they are and what you do.

Most if not all the facts listed here are out of opinion and based on Blockland only.

• RPs - Role Plays - Role Plays are where you act out things but just merely in form of text. Lets take a good example of a city RP server (NOT CityRP).
  
  Guy: Hi weapon dealer!
  Dealer: Hi! Want this gun for $5?
  Guy: Sure! (hands $5)
  Dealer: Here's your gun! (Gives gun)
  Guy: Thanks!
  
  Notice when the guy handed the dealer $5 I wrote in parentheses the action. He didn't literally send him $5, he didn't use some mod to transfer him $5 or anything. It was all out of texted roleplay. Of course the server host, if he/she has a brain, will put a limit on what you can/can't do in roleplay.
  
  
  • RPGs - Role Playing Games - These are basically RolePlays, but with some sort of Add-On involved to create in-depth Role-Playing, i.e. really crappy cash mods and CityRP(G). People most often mistake this with Minigames (dude this'll be good for my war rpg!!!!!!!!) or Role-Plays (CityRP).
    [/b]
    
  • Minigames - Minis, DMs, etc. - Obviously, minigames. Zombie Mod, TDM, Free For All DM, you name it. These, are really what is supposed to be said in Add-On topics (Hey I can use this in my War Minigame!). Often mistakened with RPG and very, very rarely, RPs.
    
    
    There is a difference.
    

Nope, and RPG is a Role Playing Game, like an actual full game.

Yeah I like RP more then RPG..

RPs are better for creativity... which is what Blockland is supposed to be about, whereas RPGs are easier to play. (With some exceptions of excessive slash command usage)
