As a role-player myself, it's worth noting that it differs significantly in terms of style. It wasn't unusual for disputes to be resolved through PvP and duels back in WoW between role-players on the European servers. In fact, I took part in a lot of narrative driven community made RP PVP events on Argent Dawn EU.

Give players tools to work with in an MMO and they'll make something out of it.

I don't bother with RP in FFXIV for various reasons - not in the least because most of the legitimate role-players have been discouraged by illegal role-play.
