A Title for Roleplayers

There have been many discussions in the Guild Channels of 2 Roleplay Guilds I am part of as to how difficult it is to determine whether another player is a Roleplayer or not so I thought I would offer a simple suggestion as to how to make it easy to find others.

We have a Title system in the game that allows players to add a Achievment Title below their names for other players to see when they hover their mouse over them. In my opinion I think it would be nice if every player had the option of a title they could choose that said "Roleplayer".

This would allow other players to know ahead of time if that player was willing to engage in In Character interactions.

Those that wished to take part in In Character interactions could then just choose this title from the drop-down menu on their Character Sheet if they were seeking others to roleplay with and when they did not wish to interact in that way could then change it to another title.

If it were available to every player as a choice from the moment of character creation, it would not need to be tied to any Achievement or anything other than a willingness to take part in the Roleplay community. And it would seem to be fairly easy to implement without a great deal of effort.

I had heard some time ago that there was a suggestion to have a check box that Roleplayers could enable so that when they zoned from one area to another it would flag them and move them to a phased Instance with other Roleplayers. I have been informed that this was too difficult to implement and was dropped.

I would offer my idea for an alternate means that would make those of us who wish to be In Character a way to find others who wish to do so as well. I feel there are others who would like to see this enabled and it would be a good way for ZeniMax to show they are willing to give a little nod to the Roleplay element in their game.

If there are other suggestions that are similar, I would invite other Players to use this thread to list them.

    It would be nice to have a RP Channel in Guild chat.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.
    Is the glass half full or half empty?
    I say, "Get a smaller glass."

    Maybe they could change the colour of a roleplayer's name slightly? like you can change the colour of text in chat?

    I'm not a roleplayer myself but I like your idea, I ran into a room once with 3 ppl RPing and I don't want to ruin someone else's fun ^^

    Actually, I would rather see an RP-flavored say-type channel. With specific emote capability.

    That I can then ignore, next time I'm in an inn or tavern.

    They should put in a general RP channel not i guild chat but in general. That would allow the RP to enjoy themselves without being interrupted by other players.

    It's nice to see people here are suggesting this. A specific RP channel would be a nice addition. It gives those who are not into RP some space where their chat log is not filled with it and it may give us RPers a place where we can really "get into it".

    Having had a RP session where we were haplessly sabotaged by mindless half wits ruining our time. A specific RP channel would be great. It still doesn't stop the potential for grief though. But it may dumb it down.

    Still, the comments I read in this thread about people not into RP agreeing as it benefits both crowds is a nice sight. This may be an actual constructive thread on these forums.
