Welcome Adventurers,

Whether you bring the might of magical prowess, a strong swordarm, the keen eye of an archer, or the trade of a craftsman, I welcome you as one.

What awaits you is a world of possibility.


In all seriousnes, welcome to the In-Game Roleplaying Forum.

You might be asking why we decided to create a whole forum for this sort of activity, so let me give you a brief introduction and explanation.

Roleplaying is actually a lot of fun, and a fair number of people are into it. Over multiple Q&A threads/sessions and feedback we have gotten from the Forums and fan-sites, we have heard that players wanted us to promote the roleplaying aspect of the game more.

RuneScape is a Roleplaying Game, a fantasy world full of Magic, Dragons, Monsters and a lot of possibilities. Some people see their characters as just a tool to play the game with, some people see their characters as ... well *characters* with personalities and minds of their own. They like to immerse themselves in the creative and awesome world of RuneScape and have fun being "in-character".

This forum is to not only help people organise in-game Roleplaying, but also to help promote it as a fun, group activity.

So, whether you're completely new to it, or a veteran of Roleplaying, we hope to see you get involved!

If you have any feedback about this forum, or new ways for us to support Roleplaying in RuneScape, then please feel free to post here with your thoughts.

Kind regards,
Mod Mark H and the Community Management Team.

-Maybe some new mini-items for RP'ers that can cause effects such as shooting electric bolts that dont do any damage and stuff like that, and costumes. And another RP server would be awesome!
-But could you make it so you have to be in a Roleplaying chat? Because whenever I rp on world 42, I get people calling me a nerd and a geek, which I find annoying, since they arent even doing what the server is based on.
-A F2P rp server.

Thanks,
(Lord)Wereskag.

(Ooooo! Never gotten first post in a sticky before! :D)

Ah.. what the heck.

I retaliate from thou magic missle attack by launching a powerfull shadow blast at you.

(Just HAD to do it :P)


And you made a typo. You wrote Buy, not but:

This forum is to not only help people organise in-game Roleplaying, -->buy<-- also to help promote it as a fun, group activity.

Very Excited for this!

Would love to see a Roleplaying PvP World in which it is "safe" meaning no items are lost and you can only attack people inside your own cc.

Think... Guards that are actually guards :P

Think twice trying to steal some goods from the nearby bank when the guard quickly switches from his iron long to a dragon dagger to "step things up".

Also played a little rs classic recently and realized how much rs needs duel anywhere :( Would make for some epic RP too!

Would be epic, I have not been able to play much recently but would enjoy getting into some in-game roleplaying sometime!

"You attack the darkness. There's an elf in front of you. He's wearing... a-a-a brown tunic and he has grey hair... and blue eyes."

I know this has been suggested multiple times, but it hasn't been done, so I'll repeat it. One of the reasons there are so many non-roleplayers on World 42 is that many of them are unaware that it is the deignated roleplaying world.

Similar to the PvP worlds, a "warning" window should appear when attempting to enter World 42, stating that it is the roleplaying world. Perhaps it could also include a link to the In-Game Roleplaying Guide or this forum.

Costumes play a big role in identifying a character, and many roleplayers value uniqueness in their outfits. However, when different roleplayers have the same type of character, their costumes tend to look too similar. This is the result of the lack of variety in certain pieces of equipment, such as rogue armor. Some items, like elegant clothing, may have the same base style, but at least differ in coloration.

Maybe the use for dyes (other than coloring capes) could be extended to other pieces of equipment. RuneScape has a wide variety of equpment to choose from, but many appealing costumes are limited to NPCs! Couldn't our characters slip on a bard's uniform or stea- er, borrow the armor of a Varrock guard?

Additionally, the most aesthetically attractve pieces of equipment were limited to the dark dungeons under Daemonheim! I'm glad that the Castle Wars armor received an update: when will the rest of the old equipment get revamped?

I agree with the above posts that a F2P Roleplaying world would be a nice addition. Personally, when I was a free player, I roleplayed (though, I didn't know the term at the time) as a steel-clad noble knight; albeit, a lonely one.

I hope this helps. It's nice to have our own home here on the RuneScape forums, too. ^_^

Lord Wereskag,

Sadly Items are something that we probably can't introduce for a while as I know the Graphics Team are already busy working on existing projects. But it is something for the future and we normally introduce a lot of cool new objects with updates over time.

Likewise, having special emotes for spell effects and fighting with damage is another thing I don't think we can add anytime soon.

However, RP chat is something I'd love to see added. Likewise some more Roleplaying Servers. I think we need to increase the in-game RP community before we can make a push for those things but we will see how it goes. :)

(also I corrected that typo :P)

Blackxp,

RPPVP server sounds fun, not sure if it's possible to add a "Safe" PvP world but I can always ask our developers if it could be done in the future.
