I'd like to know how many roleplayers are currently active in Ryzom. If you're not active but increased RP activity in-game would bring you back, your vote is equally interesting.
Feel free to elaborate on your vote in a reply, discuss the general topic, etc.
For the purposes of this poll at least, here is some terminology:
"full-time definitive"
Your default mode of chatting is In-Character and you annotate Out-Of-Character messages with parentheses or brackets. When around non-roleplayers you might default to OOC, but during events or other RP you switch right back.
"potential or lapsed definitive"
You've roleplayed in text before—whether in Ryzom, in other MMOs, in a MUD, on a forum, et cetera. Or maybe you haven't but you would like to start doing so. You are anywhere from a little rusty to completely wet-behind-the-ears, but in either case you're willing to get (back) into Ryzom roleplaying.
"semi"
Your chat is usually Out-Of-Character and/or you tend to slide into character without notice during events and such. This option fits many Ryzom players to varying extents.
"passive"
You enjoy slipping into an RP-like mindset when playing the game, and by the same token you appreciate immersive elements (including roleplayers themselves), but you are almost never inclined to speak In-Character.
I'm not sure why I included the second two options when, as the title of this thread indicates, I'm only looking for the first two. Maybe just to keep people from misdirecting their vote.
For almost a year now my main character has felt 'dead', in that while playing it's no longer in the back of my mind what she's doing, thinking, hoping or dreaming. She's just a gamepiece now, the poor thing.
