what does rp mean?

like balmung is a rp server???

Role Playing

like role playing via some kind of voice chat???

Roleplaying is when you pretend to be a character, a bit like an interactive story between two or more people.

It's like you pretend to become Ice Mage, the BLM who only use Blizzard spell on every battle.

:rolleyes:

Somebody experimented in Reddit with playing an "ice mage" and s/he was doing 700+ dps with enochian on. In other words, a skilled Ice mage can be better than other bad dps :cool:

I suspect even Balmung might not want you then.

Roleplaying is when your character is their own person, and you give them a background, a personality, likes, dislikes, etc, and then you thrust them out into the world to interact with other people who have done the same thing with their own characters. It's kind of like a big collaborative storytelling game. It's really fun, but it's not for everyone.

Or when you pretend the game's biggest problem is the housing shortage because you joined Balmung, the most over populated server.

i know this is bait, but. ERP is still roleplaying. When two (or more) characters are involved in erotically explicit scene, that's ERP.

While I agree with you, there are role-play puritans out there who will kick and scream while mentioning that ERP is in no way actual role-playing.

When a mommy pixel and a daddy pixel love each other very much...

I never seen RP in action. Makes me quite curious how that goes. The closest I seen was macros with dramatic text on their abilities. Mostly on limit breaks or berserk, haha.

basically, it reads like (sometimes quite bad) fiction. because it's a person only writing their own character it can be a little disjointed, but the interactivity makes it a lot of fun.

It's like improvisational stage acting, but without the need to be able to speak.

If you can somehow manage to get onto Balmung, just walk into any of the bars..... you'll be inundated with a million of them occurring at once.... xD

It means that the person is annoying as hell.

My name on Balmung provokes the expected response.

Not that I'm complaining.

Well with a name like "Dominant Bear" I wouldn't be surprised. Makes me curious on your daily Eorzea life.

It involves lots of Roegadyn men and discretion.
