I completely support this.Â
I'm not volunteering as I can't see myself as being able to fulfill the role very well but I love that you are doing this. MMO-based RP is my favorite style of RP but I often recognize that there are some big hurdles and flaws concerning this style of RP. In other forms of RP, tabletop specifically, we have DMs who assume the roles of NPCs in an ever-changing world. But because there is no DM making the NPCs act out, the game environments of MMOs can sometimes feel static, stale, and lifeless. NPCs as they are in MMOs don't contribute to anything or interact with us which is why sometimes players just flat out ignore them.Â
This is all to build up to me saying that I find it fantastic when someone temporarily assumes the NPC role of, well, anyone because they are helping make the RP of the game feel more alive. And it's not like anyone is trying to claim ownership of that character.
