An MMORPG to roleplay with

[Yhvh]

So, I'm at a loss here. My biggest thing when I approach a MMORPG, I often look towards the roleplaying community and potential.

Besides WoW and XIV (the ones I actively play/ed) what other titles out there in the market have a good roleplaying community? I remember when Wildstar was relevant, due to its robust housing system, the roleplaying community thrived there, and it was also a great sci-fi esque setting. Sadly the game didn't last long.https://www.mmo-champion.com/forums/...mes-Discussion

SWTOR has a competent RP community (Starforge-NA)... ESO isn't bad either.

But how friendly those games are to roleplayers? I mean, speaking of interface or game features (like housing) or character customization...

SWTOR is good, especially Empire side.

Swtor is the one MMO where I basically filled out 3 massive Strongholds to the maximum with 100's of items. I really enjoy SWTOR housing. Having actually Starships for Guild housing is awesome as well.

Nice, I'm going to check it out. But I've heard that the business model there is a bit messed up without basic features to people that go f2p.

I'm pretty sure you can just sub for a month and end up with access to all the weird road blocks after you're done.

Don't really know, never bothered to play it F2P. It was always worth the Sub when I felt like playing it. Sub gives you access to ALL content as well, so no need to buy expansions or anything.

AFAIR there's still credit cap (something like 300k per character or so) that wouldn't allow you to buy anything useful.

There's a loooooooooooooot of RP'ers in FF14, and I've only been playing for 2 months.

The most renowned RP communities in MMORPGs:

• WoW - particularly Moon Guard (Alliance) and Wymrest Accord (Horde)

• FFXIV - particularly on Balmung, followed by Mateus. Getting on to those servers may require a bit more time and effort, as character creation is locked during prime time, so you might have to get up during off hours to try to get in, or server transfer over. There was a little bit of talk about making Jenova the third RP server, but nothing came of it.

• LotRO - pretty dedicated RP community. Game has been on the decline but the RP community is still there.

• Star Trek Online - used to have RP fleets back in the day, not sure about now.

There is also the MMORPG Ever, Jane, which is a RP dedicated MMO that evokes Jane Austen novels. No combat; just sipping tea in Victorian England and riding horses.

SWTOR has no speech bubbles, I'd class that as important for roleplay.

I've heard LotRO has good RP, and I don't see why ESO shouldn't. Just all about finding the right people I guess.

Where is that and how do I make the rest of my life about it.

ESO has some great RP features like housing, emotes and character customisation. But it’s all guild/group based thanks to the mega server.
