1. Extended chat character limit
2. Walk toggle
3. Emote channel
4. A little tag beside a server name that says 'RP'

That's it. Short of the walk toggle, nothing on that list needs "new mechanics". Sure, there is a long list of things that could make TERA a great game for RPing, such as branching quest dialogues, character biographies, casual outfits, a larger collection of emotes, special RP server with its own rule set, body customization, and so on and so forth; but most of us would be satisfied with just the list above. Anything else would be a luxury.[/quote]

This!! Also, I don't mind if we don't get a walk animation if it's too hard of an issue for them to resolve. (Though I can't imagine it would be too difficult.) People just need the tools to write. I can fit only a few characters over two sentences in a chat post which is pretty limited. That would benefit more then just roleplayers there.

Also it helps to have an RP tagged server. Just given some of the posts made by some on the forums just trolling and making fun of those with concerns, it's clear that some just get a kick out of making fun of people that like to roleplay.

Wtf is RP?

That's almost like a shooter fan asking "Wtf is FPS?". :P

Basically it's just playing your character. Unlike normal PVE where players are there to game, it's more like 'acting' and being your character.

Like others I am worried about the silence concerning RP support. The OP outlines some great RP tools that do not take up a lot of time or money.

this game wasn't made with the intention of Roleplaying. Try something like Aion or WoW.

I find that hard to believe when they have a Roleplay section in the forums.

im sorry but every mmo was made to Rp , but has i was in a rp legion before and for always , you people should not worry too much , aion dint really paid attention to us either so why would EME really care for it , they said they would think about it and i find it a better answer then any other mmo ive played.

it true that it kind of sad that pvp got a server of their own , and has stated above saying it not meant for RP is like saying the game was not meant to pvp either before lvl58, so i dont think either of the two have better or wrong argument !

has usual the comunity will choose wich server we will go to and we will make this game our own , and ill be honest the game is very large and by being large , it mean more setup , when there is too many restriction due to the lore and others it not always fun to try explaining some other stuff that are impossible

(know some people that love to rp semi robot and let me tell you in some mmo it hard to actually put it up with the lore)

but in tera they give us a wonderful world were our imagination can run free ! where the political systeme will call the great talker and the great leader , dont take it wrongly our imagination was always a door most of the time lore leave it only half open , in tera they have open it widely to you

give them time and if it not working , well let Rp together on somewhere we have decided like we always did

pretty sure most mmo forums do. lonely adults need somewhere to go.

every mmo was made to RP? the RP community is like 2% of the playerbase.
