Party chat or tells, even in the middle of the Quicksand, have been used for private RP since there was RP in the game. If people wanna RP in /say and get pissy when people enter their range and reply, they should have considered it beforehand.
I suppose I just presumed if people were RP'ing in public it was more or less an invitation to join if there seemed like there was a reasonable opportunity. If two characters are PDA'ing I feel like I could say "ew gross!" Â I wouldn't but I think it should be expected that someone might.
The way I usually get involved in RP is to speak to NPCs as though there were other PCs. Â I've had some negative feedback here and there but it's mostly been positive.
I've also done public RP in the Drowning Wench and expected (hoped) that others would join in. Â I don't understand why anyone would do public RP in an RP game and NOT want others to join in. Â I feel like public RP is an invitation. Â That's my intention anyway. Â If a group is standing together and not saying anything (or speaking only in /em) then I presume it's private.
