...uhhh no... that's actually not where it came from....

sorry, but it's true. else it would be MMORPRPG. but it's not. use logic.


there are at least three different ways to use the term 'role play'. there is role play like in MMORPG. there is roleplaying like the actual intricateness of what you do with your character in the game, like in the story you have a certain role. and then there is role-playing/role-play like you would do in real life.

there are even still yet more uses for the term 'role play'.


but in the case of MMORPG... it refers to your role like as a healer or damage or tank role.

As in all RPGs, players assume the role of a character (often in a fantasy world or science-fiction world) and take control over many of that character's actions

Educate yourself- and stop making me feel old =-)

Back in the day there used to be people that would take over the actions of some NPCs for special event quests. They were NPCs, even though they were human controlled, because they weren't "players".

I know it's strange for newer players who separate "RP" from the general game. But EQ actually had a separate channel called "OOC" (Out of Character) chat. Because all the other regular talking came from your character... this was disabled on RP only servers.

exactly my point. but again when it comes to the specific term of MMORPG. again... it is referring to the role you play. like as in damage, healer or tank.



i've been playing since a long time in MMORPG's. i remember early graphical MUDs like Habitat. and early MMORPG's like Meridian 59, The Realm Online, Ultima Online, EverQest and Runescape. so yeah... i promise i am quite familiar with the term 'role play' and it's many uses.
