I'm going to be the weird Gilgamesh guy here throwing in a few gil in the conversation but..
I've found it very difficult to play nobles in MMO RP. One of the things that makes a noble a noble is the kind of.. weight and power and respect that comes along with the rank. And if someone decides not to give them that respect and pay a mind to the power, the noble usually has a way to bring that person into line.
And it's REALLY hard to get the random RPer to be like 'Oh, okay' and adjust to the fact that the character is a noble. Most of the time, at least in my experience, the response is more like 'Pff, well, my character doesn't care/doesn't recognize the authority' or what have you.
