Pretty much everything my characters '/say' is "in character".
That being said, though... the problems with roleplaying on EverQuest? Sooner or later, you will find yourself in situations where certain player interactions would be questionable from an immersive (roleplaying) standpoint. And the hardlined religion and good/evil race thing is often the breaks. It begs the question of how much of that should be reflected in the roleplaying interactions themselves. I mean, a tunarian wood elf and an iksar really shouldn't be getting along, right? And unless it's a bizarre 'enemy-of-my-enemy' situation, such duos really shouldn't ever be grouping together from a roleplaying standpoint. Should they? Then there is also the question of what if the hostile race mismatch is not what it seems? What if that player has worked hard on their faction? Player reputation doesn't always speak for itself for other players. Some might argue that it create interesting conversations, but I would say it would get old having to explain to every passersby that you are a just a big dumb Troll version of Drizzt Do'Urden. I still roleplay but you'll find that most people that RP keep it light for these sorts of reasons. These are some of the challenges that I find with even light roleplaying on P99. Along with much of the 'zerg'/'go-guy' slice of the community not really being interested in those kinds of interactions at all when there is exp and loot to be got. | ||

I will say, one of my best green memories was being helped by basketball on multiple occasions. He was the only Dark men member I ever actually saw in game, and he was super friendly.
I also remember Videri so well too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Was dark men of odus like actually, actively racist? Or was their guild maybe a conscious attempt to tease out the inner hall monitor in other people? Honest question.
Either way I can see the gm's nuking them cause it's just too much of a headache to deal with 8 layers of internet irony when a complaint of racism comes up, regardless of intent. | ||

There were some fine people, but you could definitely tell it was a bunch of painfully white internet nerds. | |||

So yes, "yank red necks" ... and plenty of non-red-neck yanks also ... like watermelon and fried chicken. Personally, I can't stand watermelon, but my wife loves it, and we both <3 fried chicken ... but we're both white.
