I am open to most forms of RP, kinda dependent on the character really. What I don't like about group RP(larger groups really) is when there are a couple of players whose character I don't agree to(and by that I mean their actions/progression). Normally you can decide that they wont be considered as part of your story, although in large group settings you are somewhat bound to accept everything.
Also I have found myself becoming increasingly bothered by private RP in-game. Its nice to be able to read on-going scenes but the whole exclusionary tactic is really disheartening to see. I noticed a group of RPers in Limsa a couple of weeks back who were all standing atop a tower/staircase-styled thing. Naturally I stopped since it peaked my interest. I had no intention of joining but it was one of those curious moments. They were, however, using party chat. No-one else was even around so I didn't quite understand it.
Anyways, I participate in random scenes with people I don't know and seek to coordinate scenes with people that I do. I like to have a general direction for each of my characters to be going so that I can build a solid and consistent RP-style for them and feel that I am working towards something, but I am well open to the goals/end objectives changing and being warped constantly of course.
Really though, I like maintaining a closer RP with people I know well. My friend whom I followed to this game for RP is my main purpose really as I adore her RP-style and character creation/development. Sometimes I feel guilty imposing my own characters upon her stories but I am horrible in that way I must admit haha >w< I treat it as a sort of core RP. Everything with everyone else matters of course, but core RP is what I look forward to most(?) Does that make me bad in some sense? ;; Would some see that as ill-mannered RP coordinating?
And this!

Usually, I like freeform RP--to let things go as they will with the flow, to have our character react naturally and entirely how they would, to have surprises and anticipation. However, interesting plot ideas often involve needing to get a character from point A to point B, so sometimes planning is necessary and helpful. That being said, I think pre-planned ideas are certainly useful so long as every detail is not planned and things are left flexible.
Another thing that makes RP enjoyable is good writing--writing that is clear, descriptive, and engaging; writing that isn't constantly tripping me up with typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors. But that being said, I would rather endure bad writing than bad content. If I had to choose between someone who spelled poorly but had respect for other role-players and engaging characters or someone who wrote wonderfully but was boring and rude, I would take the worse writer with no hesitance.
And this!
