Okay, I have really upped the role-play quotient in my style lately. Here's the reaction I've gotten:
1. Ignoring me - Outside of groups I'm in, most players I've come across act just like an NPC. I get no reaction whatsoever in most instances.
2. lol - I get a lot of appreciative non-rping responses from teammates who either think my jokes are funny or are humoring me.
3. Confusion - a couple of teammates have expressed concern that I'm typing when there are xp points to track down.
4. Participation - a few players have actually participated to varying levels.
I share the role players' frustration. There is very little in the game set up to encourage role playing. And when most of the players you encounter just want to run around and hunt mobs for leveling, rping can be seen as an inconvenience.
I'm still gonna do it though.
