Roleplaying: Acting in character. Not being your regular internet-browsing, gamer self. Pretending you're actually in the game.
Once you say "lol", "click here", "how much exp u gotz?", "hadyoozursheld" you've broken out of roleplaying. Maybe you're "sort of roleplaying"... but it's not real roleplaying. Check out those RP chat rooms (I think Yahoo! has some... dunno.), go talk to some Valikarlia "vets", and then you'll understand the difference.
Running around on UN with your guild, calling some kid your son, and calling some girl your wife is usually not RPing (based on how i've seen it done), because you're usually still acknowledging the true you that sits in front of a computer monitor.
If you say "Wow, that's way too serious and crazy", then maybe now you understand what roleplaying is, but obviously have no appreciation for it.
And yes, it is rather psychotic.
GK doesn't even have proper roleplaying. I refuse to believe Zone and Zodiac do.
I even saw some non-RPing on Valikarlia the other day, but they're probably still the best at what they do. |
