Why do people make "RP" servers?
Fredulus:
i feel bad for you if you've seriously never seen a good rp server :c
it's understandable though, they are somewhat rare
Kalphiter:
Tsk tsk, you missed the first one on the server list

A role-playing theme allows for the implementation of arbitrary rules with little inherent game-play. It's an easy way for players to build themselves a little kingdom with which they can further inflate their egos; this is commonly referred to as a "power trip". It requires neither talent, effort, nor creativity to setup, but none-the-less it draws in players looking for structure in a game that lacks it.

Nice sophist text. Moving on from that, this almost describes my feelings. But I'm still clinging on to the whole "fake reality show to make you feel better about yourself." I mean, Jersey Shore? We don't have Italians on the beaches and night clubs. We have pizzerias and bonfires, foo.

Some Jail RP's like Ticonderoga's are not that bad. There are the usual cigarettes who just kill instead of following etiquette. But other than that is' pretty fun. at least for me.
