My RP has gotten me:
Several thousand IMMXP
Custom Title
Tattoo
At least a dozen very nice things said about me in various goodbye threads

The fact is that I don't PK very well (especially with this character) and I'm playing in a situation that's out of my comfort zone (ie, not The Village.)
Regardless, I've gotten all of the above by being a consistent RP presence and making choices that I feel are in keeping with my character, and not
about blindly following alignment or cabal dogma.

The result has been a complicated experience that I've found pretty rewarding and based on what I've seen it seems that I'm not alone in feeling like
I'm doing something right.
