[Suggestion] What is RP?

[Treewyrm]

RP, as I see it, is about "fitting" self into the game universe. Now there are two ways: either you take existing role and play it, or you can try to create a new one and follow it. The first way is much easier as you pick one of the pre-defined roles seen in the game. The other one is harder as you have to create something that fits well into Freelancer style and story like a puzzle piece. If it doesn't fit into big picture then it's a good sign there is something wrong with your RP. However the opinions about how good character RP is may vary from person to person. Some take Freelancer RP lightly, some take it too strictly, neither one is good. The first one leads to oorp chat/factions and the other one draws the game into stagnation.
