Personally, I am one of those people that is almost always in character, even when I'm not really in character (which is not as confusing as it sounds). Â BUT I don't hold everyone else to this standard. Â I RP as an escape. Â I've been sick and disabled for most of my life, I'm in constant pain (even with painkillers), I have a very weak immune system and so on, so I RP as a way to forget, just for a little while, that I'm stuck in this messed up body. Â It cheers me up, it makes me feel better, it helps keep me from having as many panic attacks and other things. Â
People have lives outside of RP. Â I've had great RP friends that I saw maybe twice a month, and I've had great RP friends I've seen almost daily. Â So I think "too much" is subjective. Â As long as people aren't forgetting there is a person behind the character and that person has a life of their own to live (and that includes with our own characters), then I don't consider it to be too much RP. Â If people forget there is a person on the other side of a character, then yeah, that is a bit too much.
