i am not a RPer, I hardly even know what happened in Factions, all i know is there was shiro and we killed him, but a person who IS a RP it would be very easy to "dive" in the story

Yeah - but the point is that if you're wandering round pretending to be Conan The Barbarian and you're the only one doing that then it's gonna get very boring very quickly. What the other posters are trying to say is that roleplaying is far more prevalent in WOW than it is in GW and therefore if someone wants to roleplay then WOW is a better bet!

Why you would even try to RP in GW is beyond me.

Seriously, go find an IRC channel, or a MUSH. That's roleplaying. Graphics, numbers, all of that is completely unnecessary and just takes away from the real experience.

I personaly think RP with GW would be very good expirience if you find the right ppl to play with.

I have friends who are in a roleplaying alliance, currently consisting of 3 active guilds. They have a very active forum and regularly play together, either in character or out of character depending on the situation. Of course, whether you'd fit in that little community depends very much on if your roleplaying styles match

If you decide to play GW and are interested, give me a PM ingame (in-game names are in my profile) and I'll tell you where to find them so you can sort things out

I'm an active rper in guild wars, just a few things to add:

Finding somewhere to rp is easy, most of the time the international districts are very quiet (with 2-3 major excepetions), and ideally suited to roleplaying. Your guild hall will often become a focus for role-play too, and they're big and varied enough areas in themselves to keep things interesting. I've played the 14 day trial of WoW on an RP server, and found that the minimal amount of Rp that happened there to be dissapointing.

As long as you find yourself an RP guild, you'll have a great time. Rp'ers have been asking Anet for more emotes for a long time now, it seems possible we might get some with the release of Nightfall, though I'm not going to get my hopes up!

I can;t believe no-one has linked to Guild Wars Role-players Association which has rp forums, and a whole listing of RP guilds. Have fun, contact me in-game if you want to know more, or RP!
