I must admit... I am disappointed. Very disappointed.
Me and my bud spent several hours in seeking for roleplay, inside House Space, outside of it, even in Omicrons - because of the status of the faction I recently proposed and someone joined on his own will. What did we get after arrival to the Omicrons? The Core - completely ignoring us, all other people - nothing. Only The Order tried to roleplay (kudos to you guy in Major), but it went nowhere as well. There was in-group RP short roleplay, and kudos to that guy in there as well.
It's needless to say both of us got tired and left the system we visited last, then F1-ed in the safe place, because we were so pissed off that no one on the roleplay server actually cares about the roleplay. All what actually matters, for my taste (or I would say, our taste) is getting blues, like it was the most top thing in the world. You want more blues? Stick to Conn, where PVP is without any "roleplay limiting the pure PvP experience". I understand this is an action game, but "roleplay" should stand for something more than just seeking opportunities to kill peps around!
And this is not the experience from this exact day, I has been for a year (or two) to make my opinion about on how things work.
I would not point it out, if it was action server. But God damn it this is a roleplay server, majority of people I have encountered so far either ignore will of roleplaying or use partial RP to excuse getting their blues. It has been a good few months since I got good roleplay with anyone that hasn't been a 343 member. Last time I got some decent non-343 roleplay was my Fukushima and TheUnforgiven's Argo. The other awesome RP I had was with Ageira with business talks and Rosenkov/Renzu journey into Omicrons for Iridium.
I held myself many times before it. Many people convinced me to ignore this problem, but today is a day in which everything crossed the line. I will say a sad truth about Discovery, because I simply lost all my faith into Discovery:
There is very little from the real roleplay on the server - the vast majority is just bunch of excuses to get blues.
