Hey, I need an honest opinion on Roleplay on the server

[Serpentis]

So, hey.
I am absolutely worthless in PvP. I think I've had one or two solo duels (that I won) in all my years and a few solo cap battles (that I won). That was back in like 2014 isch.
Now, I am thinking of actually getting back into things.
Was considering trying to finish the ongoing story I had going with a character and then actually play him.
But, man o man, all I am seeing is how much PvP oriented most is right now?
I knoooow, it's a RP PvP Server, I know.
But, for all my memories, I always saw PvP as a reaction to roleplay. Now, it just seems that it's the primary focus.
Tell me if I am wrong, but that is the impression I am getting by watching what is posted on the forums.
The Bans and warnings.
The many threads of people being sick and tired of ganks.
Of how factions that are actively doing these stuff are barely punished for it.
Not naming names, that is uncool.

But, an honest answer to an honest question:

Is there a place for a pure roleplayer?

And that doesn't mean I won't take the L in a fight if it comes to it.
And I don't run from pirates when I am going around.
But it is and never has been what drove me to this community and server.

Please don't be nasty.

Yes, you can find place for RPing only. And people for RPing only.

No joking, I seen some people doing RP only and sometimes PvPing when they just got no choice left or just felt they want some drive after endless lines and text in local chat. It's about people's extreme overreaction to things like PvP.

I pretty much only play for RP, it kinda goes on and off in terms of finding people to roleplay with.

Kinda have to either lurk around areas, or snoop around and find people online. Admittedly haven't logged in a while so I don't know what the current trends are, but all I can feel is a struggle trying to find people to RP with - what with my limited time.

Hey! My faction needs RPers and knowing you were part of an AI faction before, join Enigma Confederacy, the ranking system works based on RP you do and achievements you get. You are very welcome and your choice is what matters.

I think it's completely viable to focus on the RP aspect. Usually do the same and whilst it is certainly not as easy to find RP as it used to be, there's still places around. Though you will have to search for a bit, I'm afraid, as PvP focus became the mainstay of the server ever since a part of the community nurtures raidlog culture. If you struggle with PvP, just take the occasional L like a champ or do it like our most infamous Outcast De Marco and just flee every battle with the excuse that your Storta is actually just a fancy luxury yacht - so putting the PvP avoidance in a nice wrap of creative RP.

Is there a place for a pure roleplayer?

So long there is a place for a pure pvper.

In a live role playing environment, you are not owed or mandated to be given a duel. Fights develop differently every time and people have varying degree of time to log on their hands or have their own plans.

Is there a place for a pure roleplayer?

YES there is. Roleplay all you want.

You are the hero this sever needs. may be not the one it deserves. like a knight, shining bright

Is there a place for a pure roleplayer?

That's actually a layered question. Is a Nomad lurking in the Omicrons, who's biological and habitual focus is the extermination of the human invaders, who decides to 1/2 you before opening fire considered roleplay? Absolutely.

In regards to roleplay as an opposite spectrum to pvp, there is nowhere safe in Sirius as there's too many roleplays who's focus is on combat. Are you a sweetheart LPI pilot that wants to focus on helping others out of goodwill and wants to just talk with the local populace? Great, do that. But you can't fly in the middle of the Badlands and expect to leave alive.

If you want a 100% roleplay experience, keep it to the forum. There are too many trigger happy pilots out in Sirius, warranted or not. If you're wanting to roleplay in Sirius, you'll be fine if you use common sense and keep an eye on the player list.
