Roleplaying in FOnline:2238

It works for me. If it doesn't for you, my only hint I can give is to translate 1337-lang to wasteland common on a subconscious level. Let me present a small dictionary of most common phrases:
u r noob - ye worthless twat
FA! - could you ducttape that wound?
DOC! - could you try to pluck my eye back? I still see with it.
PVP apes - battle worn veterans
PKs - some deranged killers
APKs - most likely some deranged killers
go leveling - I show you how to hunt
TC - the town is a warzone
his alts - his brothers and sisters
AFK - he's fainted
NPC - those morons
deterioration - my gun is crappy
PVP - let's kill them / some deranged killers
PVE - some tribal who can only kill geckos and brahmins
TB - some coward
GM - He's an Enclave officer, watch your tongue or you'll be taken for interrogation or your Outpost will be subject for carpet-bombing.

LOL. Now i'm ready for some roleplay in a roleplayless world.
I have so much to learn...
OskaRus:
Roleplaying comes and leaves with GMs. Though 2238s GMs are not inclined to support roleplay there will never be one. At leas not much more than few guys hiding in a cave or last longer than two weeks.

I disagree.
All it takes is one player who plays his/her character as if the character has personality, motive, history. BAM! RP. Since there is obviously more than one person doing this I don't see what the problem is. You don't need GM's to RP. I have never had help from a GM for my own RP and I don't know why one would wait for a GM to start!
Other people will see you doing it and they will either join in, not join in, or possibly berate you for doing it... but so what if they do? So what if they kill you? it's not like your character was going to live forever.
you can do all the normal things there are to do in 2238 (gather, PvE, PvP, trade, craft, PK etc.) and still do it with an RP mindset.
If the majority of the community has no interest in this then thats fine, but why would you stop someone who is doing it? How can you stop someone who is doing it? kill them?
RP replication in 3, 2, 1...

Actually, as I play in PvP team in northern town, it's usually reverse: when a dumbass start to be annoying or do HRP things while we do RP, we kill him.

The consequence is that, as you say Grommok, the only thing that player take care of is their stuff instead of their life or charisma/reputation etc.
Here the game mechanism (not the engine, that's another thing) have a role to play ;o)
The fact that your items are more valuable than your life is a game mechanism point.
The fact that you can cross someone you just killed fully equiped a few minute later too.
The fact that almost everybody wear a BA is directly linked to theses mechanisms again.
We can continue this list with the ammunition abundance etc...
Fonline 2238 world is far to be a "hard wasteland", and that's just a game design choice.
Credible situations appear when characters have to face choice and assume their consequences inside coherent border. There is no such border on the 2238, and players dont have to really take care about their character. They finaly are just some robotic-plateform to use this and this items...
So, the borders are simply, the game mechansim themself. And they lead mostly the player behavior considering their character.

And what did u expect? The Fonline 2238 is based on FACTION MOD which says all. Its just true made pvp (not even balanced) mechanism NOT for Role-playing, that what you metioned is just essential.
If we want to have good PVP we cant mix it with Role-playing. Thats just all.
If you want to have nice Role-playing experience make closed group and stay in it, because players which are just next bluesuit in fo2238 server ,they want kill everything and everyone and we got like 80% persons in this game like this so just understand that u won't have a nice Role-play mixed with PVP server. Please it is good discusion but saying all those things again and again and again will just make me angry and I'll start writing rude posts.
