I seen a group rping in stormhaven chapel about a marriage.

They were dancing and spamming grats etc... in chat.

The only problem was that they was spamming zone chat so much people couldn't trade/ duel or find pledge groups because of how much spam there was.

Asked them do they mind going in guild/ local or group chat to Rp so people can trade and such, I've never had so much anger thrown back because of that request. So much salt.

If I notice it, I very quickly and quietly go somewhere else.

I've *tried* to roleplay but I never last beyond one sentence.

Example:

Just yesterday I happened upon an RP player sitting on a chair, staring at the sun with a lady also sitting at his side. i decide to /sitchair next to them.

RP Player: Hello.
RP player: Comfy chair, isn't it.
Me: Yes it is.
Me: ... Is it from IKEA?
Me: (Shaiza.)

The thing is most of the time I can't find any RP going on..I don't know of any taverns or inns that are the hotspots for the scene or other locales. As an old D&D gamer back in the day I'd love to try my hand at some Elder scrolls RP even though my knowledge of the lore is abit lacking. If anyone can tell me where it happens I'll come check it out. It's been one of the things missing for me in eso since the beginning.

I don't actively look for it, but if I stumble into a place where there's RP going on, I usually try to put on something appropriate for the occasion and just pull up a chair and watch.

I'm on PC and I stumble upon RP quite often while leveling alts. Sometimes on a cliff, just couple days ago by the exit near secret tunnel on one of noob islands, another time at a beach outside Delve, zone chats, etc etc. Not so much toward end game where you dungeon a lot.

Once entered Inn to do that undaunted achivement, while RPers were RPing in there. As soon as i entered they started rudely PMing me to leave immidiately or they'll get me banned. Knowing that it's possible to happen, where entire RP guild report spamed player who actuall got banned, I left. RPers are some of the biggest entitled, rude ppl.

You are generalising an entire population based on one bad experience. When my guild RPs and there are others that are there but not participating we simply ignore their existence, that includes trolls that do everything they can to attempt to interrupt or ruin our RP, they simply do not exist in the RP world that we are in at that moment.

I love it when i bump into an RP.

RPing within a game always seemed kind of strange to me. My own reservations aside, it seems to be a massive timesink, and as someone who has very limited time to actually sit down and game anymore, I prefer spending it playing an active role and fighting things.

I would enjoy this aspect of the game however I have no ideal on how to join and what is required to participate. PMs would be welcome.

I spend almost all my time RPing and playing the game. They're not mutually exclusive for me.
If my character does it; they do it In-Character.

I have never, in almost 20 years of mmos, met people who were rping and were also rude. On these forums people come here and talk about rpers being rude/ disruptive and filing unnecessary reports... never encountered that.

the few times I've seen rpers in this game they are either silently standing around because the conversation is in group, or if they are using /say and /e they never whisper me flames or tell me to get out. Maybe because I'm minding my own business and not jumping around on top of things or spamming skills or mudballs or trying to shout over them or flood the chat window or making rude sarcastic insinuations or dance on top of them etc.... somehow I "escape" unscathed every time for the last 20 years... don't know how I do it. Just lucky I guess.

I bump into rp'ers from time to time,often I feel like i'm intruding but still,i like the creativity of what they do even if it's not my cup of tea

I've been reported for giving my characters "immature" names in every MMO I've ever played. I have a standard gamer tag I use on Steam/Battle.net/Origin that I haven't been able to use in any MMO yet without being forced to name change. It's never happened to me once in another genre (and I've been online gaming for over 15 years). The names aren't offensive, just "gross".

I've found that people care too much about what others do in MMOs, which is slightly annoying. You can't expect perfect immersion in a multiplayer game. As long as people aren't being offensive, let them be.

I've never actually encountered BM from RPers directly though. People that do are usually asking for it by trying to disrupt the RP session.

I don't want to get too off topic but just from the point of view of someone with experience on the other side: if the nickname is too "embarrassing" "gross" or "immature" to print, companies tend to skip over those names when it comes to choosing winners of anything. More than once a random number generator has pulled up a user account, and the name was too "horrible" to publish in the announcement and so they were skipped. Furthermore, if one might one day want to be taken seriously in a community that has "gatekeepers" (like say competitive e sports, or sponsored streaming, or a large modding community) having a "more professional" or at least "not gross" name goes a long way.

im not interested in what others do in the game and I comport myself in as non-disruptive as possible for the circumstance -- mostly because my characters have motivations to either be polite or be stealthy

Anyway, back on topic. I'm always interested in rping but I don't like that my character name is tied to my account name. I'd like to choose when to be social and rp and when to log into my solo character and be left alone. Not possible with this game's setup. Unfortunate.
