What is your view on RP or ERP and why is it so taboo within the community?

[AlphaFox]

Personally don't care either way if people do, doesn't hurt me. However, I'd appreciate it if they could refrain from doing it in DF groups simply because it tends to drastically slow the run down, and I'd especially appreciate them not doing it on my front lawn.

I still haven't figured that one out.

Those darn kids, need to go out there waving a stick at em!

For me, it depends. If the RP is just casual and tasteful, sure go for it. Have fun. If your the kind who RPs to an extreme (Ice mage, Healer who is a pacifist, Ninja who has forsaken Mudras) then no, get out. More so if your the type to macro a shout for every skill and action. When it comes to ERP, again I can tolerate it but if you start getting into the hot and heavy, keep it in your whispers/linkshell/house
