And im sorry ahead of time if this next part is biased but its truth not only on the internet but in real life as well.
Most people who RP in the majority are people who have withdrawn from society and have become NEET's. (correct me if I spelled that wrong) A NEET is a term in Japan that is used to refer to someone who has withdrawn from almost all if any social interaction and have taken up effective residence on the internet and NEET's can also likely to be big time Otaku's of some sort or another and NEET's are the people who most common group of Role Players out of all the others. I personally am a NEET myself , since I dont really talk to anyone IRL save for my family and like two other friends and many of my sisters friends, whom are all women I hold healthy platonic relationships with.
I don't know if that's true. Most of the players in Mysterium are over 30. Many of us have fairly active social lives and certainly haven't withdrawn from the real world. You could say, "sure, but you're the exception to the rule," but that's been the case in most of the games I've RPed in, so... YMMV, of course, but I wouldn't be so quick to make these sorts of assumptions.
EDIT: On the topic of RL relationships versus IC ones, I definitely wasn't trying to say that that's the only way to RP, and I certainly wasn't meaning to imply that people who do like to do that are insecure in their relationships or anything like that. Sorry!
