So. I'm not a dev ;] But before that topic was posted, I already had such discussions with some devs, so I'll try to explain some things. For now, Nyan's idea can not happen, because it involves a special location. Problem is that we got a lot of empty towns already (San Francisco, Boneyard, Hub, Cathedral, Gecko, etc.), and making this roleplay in a brand new location would only make the towns emptier. It's not my argument, but I have to say that's right.
Roleplay can only happen in existing locations for now. We tried to do it in Hub, but player killers, suicide bombers and people complaining about "the town belongs to everybody not only to roleplayers" (One of these players is quoted below) ruined it.
Later, I hope we will be able to gather all our ideas about roleplaying into one topic and make some roleplay location together, but now unfortunately it's just impossible. The Vault Roleplay Project will probably take place in Vault 13 - existing location - and you're all welcome there with your ideas and your roleplay-will.
Surf Solar, have you ever tried to create anything of RPG potential? I have. Its pointless mostly.
People want to kill. People want to loot.
People are not used to playing RPG here, most of the RPG is another form of PK. So why bother? Before wipe rpg faction of hoarding technology - how to kill players with good stuff together... the pinnacle of role play.
So even If we would want some of that, most of people here want to shoot others, if they say otherwise, it means they have poor means of doing it.
Now I have to laugh, Lena ; have you told Nyan that you were one of the most known player-killers in Junktown, you know, where you used to kill bluesuits and loot them, and so on ? Also, have you told him that you were one of the suicide-bombers that ruined Hub Roleplay Project ? I guess we just disagree on the meaning of "roleplay"... It's good to see that you want to do roleplay, really, but I can only see what you've done in the last real roleplay project. Then, did you change your mind ?
