    Try to RP in WoW, then tell us how it went.

    Mechanics that are built for immersion help rp greatly.

    Saying RP is not dependent on mechanics is like saying a man can live on slurping the holy spirit alone, without bread and water. Which is a lie.

    Define: RP

    I RP a person sitting at a computer playing a game every day (while looking over my shoulder for that spouse to yell at me for playing too much).

    My RP works out well, until the spouse catches me.

    Also, since the characters are all supposed to represent outlanders - people magically pulled from the modern world - wouldn't be incorrect to use to anything other than a modern day tongue? And, would that mean people using a medieval-ish speech be breaking character?

    To my understanding, the game reminds us that we're ourselves just as we enter Novia, but don't force us to play that role. So in my opinion, talking in the same fashion you do is strictly roleplaying (don't know if you do it, but i use expressions like "u mad", "lol", or even "pwned" in my real life... yeah i know i'm an irl lamer :p

    To me questions arise in the way our other selves stays in Novia. Do we come back to the real world when we log out? or are we isolated there, unable to go back?

    Go to my account and read ~200-300 of my posts, you'll have a working deifinition of RP by the time you finish reading.
    Or maybe I should write a book? Would you guys buy it?

    For me the language usage are not a huge problem. What is a problem and something I really hated with UO was all the OOC (out of character) talk like talking about skills or stats. We also have the OOC actions like when someone taking a bath in a fall of fire to increase their resistance.

    That I completely disagree with this statement and since you give nothing to support that statement I restated my statement in hopes that you might give another go at stating your point.
    However, I do believe your intent was based more on this:
    Which is undeniable and I think that Portalarium has this high on their list.

    So the position we all are in is waiting so see what parts of the immersion are going to work with the features they are going to provide and what will directly conflict with them.

    Anything polar opposite like consensual vs non consensual PvP. They can not have both and we have to go with their definitions.

    I can only hope that they provide the possibility to play with full loot for those who want it. And at the same time do so that this doesn't tip the balance scale in favor of the pve-crowd who never loses any items.

    we gotta wait and see I guess.

    It has been awhile since I've been able to check the forums much, but I seem to remember they still plan on item lose in PVE through item damage / durability lose, requiring use of a like item to restore it (or to transfer stats to... Depending on how you view it). Things may have changed, but I didn't notice that idea being abandoned yet. Not to mention the possibility of mobs looting your corpse.. That idea still floating out there?

    So, balance the game around full loot in order to make it a valid playstyle thereby changing the focus of the game?
