What is ERP?

[SecretIsland]

As a newcomer to MMOs I don't know much about ERP (nor do I even know much about RP! but that's for another day). I've noticed a lot of the debate around the recent drama revolved around ERP (as opposed to RP). A search on urban dictionary defines ERP as "basically RP that is rated X."

I'm not quite sure how to interpret this, but if any ERPers can clarify what 18+ RP is like I would appreciate the knowledge! No judgment here. I'm simply curious what you guys do!

(Let me know if this is inappropriate! Feel free to DM me if you don't want to publicly explain :P)

Basically, very detailed conversations of people doing sexual acts to one another.

Does it involve a roleplay aspect? As I understand it, RP involves players acting as specific characters and role-playing them in various events. Is ERP simply a natural offshoot of RP (when the characters they role-play fall in love?), or is it something separate altogether?

I'm not inclined to believe you, given that others have warned me about potential trolling from you. :P

Good one. Well done.

ERP (usually, lol) stands for: erotic role play

All of his alts have different persona and the act. But it's still easy to see when Titanman/MPK/T0rn/RagingStallion etc... makes threads

And like Titanmen and Raging Stallion are gay-porn-studio names, so is Treasure Island.

Like the stuff going on in Second Life?

I'm really confused why you think I'm MPK (and I don't know who the other three are). It seems like there's a troll problem in these forums but I don't know why I'm caught in the crosshairs. If the forums are so filled up with trolling that any newcomer is instantly accused as a troll then I suppose that my friends were right when they said the official forums are a cesspool (however the vast majority of interactions I've had here were very courteous unlike my interactions with MPK and you).
