I will first go on the assumption you are not talking about me, for we interacted for a good bit. Now then... I agree that roleplay has dropped considerably of late, but I do think it is making a comeback, as evidenced by all the concern about it on the forum. If you talked to this person for an hour and half and got nothing from him, then yes, perhaps poor roleplay. What bothers me is getting criticized for brief, abrupt answers. I simply cannot roleplay every answer to every question, and must often respond with a yes, or a no... or even a... "take the oath" and leave it at that. Why? Because almost every moment I am in Thera I am having a few conversations at once. Never assume that someones first priority is the conversation he is having with you, get to know someone over the course of a week or so before you try and judge their roleplay. Everyone has insanely busy days on the mud, and cannot always give the answers and responses they truly wish to. Given time, you will see if their roleplay truly exists, or is just a shallow cover so they can PK with abandon. I do ramble, don't I?
