First: I do not want to offend anybody with this post!
Second: I am not a roleplayer like you, who discuss here in this thread.
I`ve never been in a rp chat (left dragon channel after less than 1 week)
So I can only talk about what I`ve heard:
Most of the people come to Order cause its rp shard. They want to do ( more are less intense) roleplaying.
In the last weeks I saw new players come to Order, who, after a while, told me, that rp here did not meet their expectations (I`m not gonna cite anyone here- but it was a real bad feedback).
Some left again, some stopped rping.
This is a sad fact- rp does no good on order atm. Maybe someoneelse than me has a good idea how to make things better.
