The RP in MMORPG
Hey there folks!
I don't know if this topic has been discussed, but I was wondering if anyone knows if, or whether or not the developers of this game are looking to include certain elements conducive to roleplay! This means the obvious stuff, such as emotes, interactive objects such as chairs, tables, etc., but also certain things such as DM tools such as a /roll feature for d20, or other improvements to roleplaying systems not seen in other MMOs even.
I'm not sure how large of a RP community will spring forth from AoC, but I tend to believe the game's mechanics will definitely foster organic RP!
Either way, I was just wondering what people know, and perhaps we can even have a discussion about other elements that could be cool & conducive to RP!

My hope though is the developers help and simply recognize the RP community, unlike games such as WoW. I've been RPing there for years, and the devs kind of just let us do things with the help of
My point is they did certain things, such as phasing & sharding which sundered the RP community there for a while. Luckily the RP servers banded together and had them address the issues, but it'd be great to see the devs for this game actively engaging with the storylines unfolding as well.
I can see it in my mind being something like Eve meets GoT with awesome graphics
In fact far from it. Immersion is very important factor for me. I am not all about health bars and score sheets (even though I'm happy when score sheet is in my favor).
I love when MMO has great many of RP elements, and even when I PvP I like to be immersed in it, like I am actually there.
RP is not only PvE, like some incorrectly think. Fishing, ERP, and sitting around fire. This is only small part of it.
I may not be a player that uses IC / OOC tags when I chat, because, that in fact is what breaks immersion for me... RP can't be something artificially impemented by writing IC in front of lines of text, real immersion is not about "rules" it's about forgetting rules exist... Real immersion comes when you forget about RL and are pulled inside the game, its environment, that you forget about tags and everything and just play.
I like battles, danger, but I like these to be as immersive as possible, so I welcome any RP improvements that can come with Ashes!
When one clears all the PvE dungeons and raids and brings them to farm status (gears up completely)... then what remains is RP and PvP.
RP and PvP (if done well) are the endgame content that lasts, and those 2 are major factors that keep MMOs alive.
Usually I'm a PvPer and have never RP before however it would be something I'm willing to try in Ashes
Im sure emotes will be implemented just like everyone's has said - but ontop of that - as long as the RP community uses their imagination I'm sure RP is possible anywhere ^^
