I think I am one of those people Kylin was talking about with high expectations; I could never understand why people would rp in such tight, little groups, when to me the whole purpose of rp is to interact with your environment and this brave new world chock full of many interesting and diverse people.
What really gets me is when people segragate so often in public spaces like taverns (as illustrated in Kari's example).
I pretty much agree with everything Lanos has said; to the point I even considered making a guild in my old game called Open World, just so the point was clear.
Too often non-rpers are misrepresented as 'uninterested' when in reality, they merely have not been introduced to rp, or are interested, but have no idea how to break in. Open world would go a long way to helping many of those find their rp voice, as well as help grow the rp community.
Discouraged by the lack of open ended adventure rp, and intermingling between rp guilds, I am close at times to just giving up on rp altogether. As Kylin has said, my expectations are too high, and rp simply is what it is.
But... other times I feel it could be so much more. And just because something is hard to pull off, does not mean it is not worth trying. I will gladly open world rp with you anytime Lanos, just as soon as I am able to get into the game xD
