This, the most commonly asked question a non-role-player asks a role-player, 'This is just a game, isn't it?' has a tendency to drive the role-player up the wall, for a virtual world, whilst it is entertainment, is also far more than a simple, and meaningless game. Therefore, this section is here to provide the answers that will make it crystal clear, once and for all.
 | The story of Havoc
| | A satriatrical look at non-role players, based around one player's character in a particular MUD, Nexus. A sad example of what can happen if a player doesn't consider RP 'a worthy consideration'. | | Roleplaying (II) - on maturity
| | Not a role-play article par-se, this article is included here because it looks at the conflict between some extremes of role-play, and the RL morality issues when kids are involved. Note: the solutions raised are not proposals, merely comments. | | The Powergamer
| | A more serious article, along the same broad bent of The story of Havoc, this one looks at the views, and downright obsurdities -of the powergamer, that unusual breed of player who plays to win, nothing else. | | No Shit, There I Was
| | Roleplaying combat: a reminder of what roleplaying *isn't*, of your rights to roleplay, and of how to stand up for those rights. A comparison of common attitudes, to the mentality of a rapist, and how some players are just wannabe rapists who can't safely do so in RL society (with its Laws), so they take the next best thing from YOU in the Virtual World. | |
| Role Playing Extremism?
| | This is a transcript of a conversation held within an OOC area of one MUD, wherin one player's discussion of RP within the MUD, and the article author's own use of it, reveals some interesting views. | |
