Now that you mention this, I do find most of the rp way too serious and generic for my taste and some players I encounter on the server seem unapproachable as in they want to do their own rp and not interact much with the surroundings. Wouldn't be the first time we've been overpaid to go away for good. We're a bit annoying sometimes but that's also part of the rp world, to find silly and weird people, not just generic men in suits driving expensive cars with their partner and doing who knows what in their apartments where no one is ever invited.
Which is why I usually end up playing with my friends and I do enjoy it a lot, but I wish we could include other people more permanently on to our rp more often since we could do so much more.
I was never a huge fan of doing all the /me does this and that and /it happens, some people seem to overdo it. To me it often feels like just watching generic real life situations one doesn't really need to explain in order to get the picture of the situation. Some things can be left to the imagination or if you're going to use /me and /it, at least do it properly and try to make it interesting. There is no need to express your character's feelings and doings when it only makes it feel like a boring queue where no one wants to stay.
I prefer more of a semi serious kind of rp and the aggressive kind is definitely my kind of thing. Of course you can do aggressive rp badly which most people seem to actually do, as far as I know. We strive to roleplay our aggressive rp as well as we can and make our characters actually have character and not feel like every day's empty shells.
Also what happened to neighborhoods? Did everyone suddenly get bored of having some sort of background like a home for their character? Every day it seems like I see less and less houses just meant for living. You can still do those weird things and whatever you like in your house, yard, balcony etc.
I know this all sounds a lot like generalization and complaining but the point is, I come on the server to enjoy something different than real life. Something refreshing, something I can't do in real life without irreversible consequences. I come on the server to fly, to feel a different world without the chains binding me not to do the horrible things I can't do in real life (sounded better in my head).
I can be that weird guy next door, if I want without people shunning me every time they see me after I've done something weird. I can be that bad guy who kidnaps people just because the boss told to do so and not to ask any questions, I can be the stereotypical russian weapon smuggler who drinks vodka all day and is tipsy even during a business situation and so on.
Now that I've ranted for some time I'll just conclude this and go to bed:
I just want to see my kind of interesting RPs more often. It doesn't have to be a
showoff super market all the time. it can just be something as simple as a succesful kidnap situation and don't always strive to be a professional criminal with assault rifles. Just make it happen the way you enjoy it most. Don't force RPs, just make it happen as you were meant to do it. As our dear friend Bob says: "Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it." -you figure out what I think it means in this situation
