RP Game Enviroments

I am curious as to peoples ideas about their favorite MMO RP games and just for fun.

I have tried to list all the ones I know about - if I missed one vote OTHER and add it in a comment so I can include it later.

You can vote multiple for multiple choices.

Curious also if you want to add a comment why you liked that game for RP

Gotta go with ESO simply for the fact that I've never been in another mmo rp guild. Most of my rp experience prior to ESO came from written rpgs on sites like gaiaonline.com and single player rpgs like Skyrim and Fallout.

Man, you are missing some games Sylva...

First up, Star Trek Online.

It was amazingly crappy to play on foot. The star ships were amazing to fly though. The ability to change the way you looked at anytime was a huge plus, the community is solid, the lore is adaptable and anything can happen. There is two central RP hot spots that are easy to locate. Your ship had an interior you can RP privately on. The interior, the ship, your character and your uniform were endlessly customizable and there was just as much free to use as there was to purchase with real money.

Second, Perfectworld International.

Again, game play not so stellar. But, flying was really cool. The characters were detailed and there was a ton of clothes, you just had to pay real money or work really hard. The multiple nation servers connected you with great minds from Europe commonly.

Third, Neverwinter (The MMO by Perfectworld International)

The game play was solid, great training for ESO. The people were generally smart. There was a central, game approved gathering place for RP'ers, designed around the mega server draw back of multiple instances of the same place. (It was a house of ill repute though...) The people were mostly always experienced and polite.

Of the list you have, in order of my favorites.

ESO- I love the world and the story and the have deep history with the single player games. To be able to play with my friends is a dream come true.

World of Warcraft- This was my jam for like, nine years. Loved RPing there since a month after release up until mid Pandaland. Too many adventures to count.

Star Wars the old Republic was so empty, RP was rare for me there, and poor quality when I found it. I would down vote it on RP if there was an option. :P

ESO simply because this is my first RP guild ever. I play WoW but I am in a hardcore PvE guild.

ESO, I was in hardcore raiding guilds on WoW, tried an RP guild there, but it wound up being a raiding guild that had backstories. :)

Ya not familiar with those at all. I knew there would be heaps more though.

But I will add them to the final tally at the end... oneday

I loved SWG early in its lifespan. Before it had multiple different massive facelifts. I liked it when there was still the holocron grind, if that tells the vets what I'm saying. SWG gave players careers for their characters outside of combat. You could literally be a merchant. Armor smiths with the best materials were like pro football players. Player created cities provided a place for customizable player homes, which also could be setup for public access giving you your own customizable storefront/hangout/trophyroom etc. And if your prices were right and the quality was good, you became known. You could be a dancer or a musician and hang out in the cantina providing buffs for players. Doctors could also give amazing buffs, and often were setup on the edge of towns near questing areas where players would line up and hang out while they waited their turn for their Vitamin B shot. It was truly an amazing game with tons of opportunities for RP.

My absolute favorite is now ESO though. I've played many of the MMOs that have been popular and I think the single player games they made previously really set you up to want to play their games with other people. They take so much time setting up incredible amounts of lore to base characters and storylines from, and their games have been so beautiful. So far the guild events and the core group of people involved with BSC have been entertaining and a lot of fun. I'm excited to see how the main story proceeds and how the guild changes in the near future. Hands down ESO is my #1.
