exactly draaco you can play how ever you like. 

 

Maybe poster is saying they want to play on a server that force other people to role play?   That seems like a valid request I dont personally subscribe to.

I think its funny. Fallen Earth will have friendly fire, and the RPers say "Nice, thats good for the RP".

DF will also have friendly fire, but here it seems to scare away the RPers. Its weird.

I will also buy it in a second *if* it delivers on at least 80-90% of it's promised features. RP would just put icing on the cake so to speak.

Exactly tbox. By role-play server I really mean a RP/PVP server more specifically. RP actually goes along very well with PvP (like someone else pointed out, accidental 'friendly fire', or even the possibility of intentional 'friendly fire') adds to a RP environment better. Non-PvP RP is too limited on the actions one can take. And since most other MMOs assume that RPers want PvE and make the official 'RP' servers accordingly PvE... it kind of misses the point. Most RPers want unlimited freedom of choice on the actions and possibilities that happen in a game and to NOT be limited by artificial game mechanics like 'flagging' or 'dueling' as most games have come to rely on for those who don't want FFA PvP.

Bottom line is, FFA PvP fits into a RPing environment better than PvE. But since true FFA PvP isn't something that most MMORPGs are offering any longer, finding a PvP centric game like Darkfall and having a server for RP/PvP would be the best of both worlds for a lot of people. And as a bonus, it requires very little dev time to come up with rules and changes for a RP/PvP server. The players themselves will handle most of that themselves if given the leeway in the game mechanics.

As taos pointed out this world is so big when something is happen in some areas, its posible others playing far away will not know it for long time.

So ROLEPLAY as much as you want the game give absolute freedom you can build your own town with all rp in it and maybe we never find you hehe.

It will take 8 hours to walk from one point to other point in darkfall thats how big darkfall is.

Npc's are like in oblivion they have there own lifes:).

This game is very good for RP.

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand" - Randy Pausch

I think people here are mis-interprenting the concept roleplaying

And I agree OP, they need RP servers.
