Some hate it, some don't.
I myself usually go with the anti-RP side, and find the need to put in my server welcome message "This is NOT AN RP.", just to avoid such things. Even so, my mall build/city build/amusement park build/etc, ALWAYS get someone who comes along and has to ask "Can I work here?"
Though I can't help but be somewhat attracted to it all. Changing my avatar, "realizing" things in builds with events and bots to make you feel like you're really there, they're all things that would technically be called Role Playing. I've realized it a lot with building my Alice in Blockland build, where the entire time I'm trying as hard as possible to make the player feel like they're Alice. So I find myself a bit hypocritical to act as though I'm somehow better than other people by tricking myself into believing that I'm not role playing.
At the very least, though, I can honestly say that I've never found the need to ask "Can I be the dog?" :/
stuff sounds like S&M or something... >_>
Do you ever role play? If so, how DO you role play? What role plays do you go to? What measures to you take to play said role? Where do you draw the line to where RPing becomes pure stupidity? If not, what do you think about the people who do role play?
