In most games/servers that enforce roleplay, it is a ban. Either temp or permanent
Sounds fun!
sounds impractical in what is basically a numbers game. i get it for things like muds.
I don't think practicality is really the point, but I also am not a fan of all roleplay. It tends to be pretty hostile to new players
of course it isn't the point, and i try to rp as much as possible in games like this, but sometimes you just need to talk tactics or get someone to do a quest with you. outright banning it seems counterproductive.
Oh you can talk these things ic (In-character) and there is OOC (Out of character) chat as well just use (()) Or #o in chat
I think tactics can pretty easily be done while rping. They mostly want you not to use modern terms and follow the personality of your character as far as I can tell
I know the feeling as I experienced that hostility in neverwinter nights servers, but Illarion's community is very friendly and welcoming to new players, even our 1 evil player is on break teaching the game to newcomers!
That is good to hear. Still not my jam, but always better to have a welcoming community
