They might be..
Walking
Have sensible names
Have believable look
Emote sensibly
Talk in " "
Engage in interaction
Put ooc in ( )
They won't be....
Jumping everywhere
Ride oulabdish mounts and park on people
Craft on the bell
Wearing end game gear *
Spam
Change gear every six seconds
Change race, look, gear every six seconds
It isn't entirely accurate, for example my character Aris has a name that doesn't fit lalafell law, and I know many people who have a name like 'Albus Carbuncle' but got into roleplaying later or go by a different IC alias. Also, my char is a crafter, so if someone was crafting something I'd take it with a grain of salt personally.
* In regards to end game gear, (for example full sets like High Allagan or Scylla) they're sometimes avoided because 'lore wise' most characters wouldn't have them. However a way to get around that is that the person might have a replica or inspired design, so again it isn't completely accurate.
However, these are some good points in general by Nebbs if you're trying to figure out who is in character and who isn't.
The best way I've found to recognise roleplayers is if they're walking around, as you've seen already. If people are standing in popular RP areas that's usually a sign they're waiting to be approached as well. Lots of people LOVE walk ups, but if you're uncertain sending a /tell to ask if someone is available and whatever else you want to ask is just as good (and sometimes helpful to make sure you're not interrupting them).
There are lots of lovely people on here as well, sending a message to them and prearranging roleplay is just as welcome.
Hope this has helped.
Oops, it seems I'm a rambler too!
