I think one thing that is important for roleplayers to realize is, that there's a difference between playing in an official rp server and an unofficial rp server. In games where there is designated rp servers, you can expect people to rp, or at least expect them to expect you to be, so going "I don't know what this swordskill you talk about is" in /say on an official rp server is ok in my book.
On an unofficial rp server however, we can't expect that people are there to rp. We have to realize that we're just a small part of the server, and that you might have to tone down your IC time a bit. I think it's extremely important to be flexible and not just stand on your right to rp in every situation. As Tyriont wrote, there will be cases where roleplaying can slow you down, or get in the way of prgress, and while it can be fine in a guildrun where you might focus on a story, if you group with non-roleplayers, it's just as unpolite to force the roleplay on them, as it is to disrupt roleplay events.
I'm not saying anyone here does that, it's just to discuss some general ideas of behaviour in the community, that might help people get along better ^^
