How much better would RP be if nobody knew each other oocly?

How much better would RP be if nobody knew each other oocly? Or how much worse if you think that.

Myself, I think a lot of people are clouded by ooc stuff & it really takes away from what could be.

Infinitely better.

 

The best roleplay I've had was roleplay in which myself and the other player had 0 OOC coordination or interaction, it just happened organically as we went in-game around the same time and roleplayed through it.

What Wirbelwind said. The ooc side of RP communities is what makes them so toxic. The purest and most fun/enjoyable experiences are ones with people you don't know and when you don't know whats going to happen. No OOC interactions aside from admin shit is peak.

Couldn't agree more, took the same path. Two years later, still very good friends to this day. 

 

I think the main thing to remember that it's those OOC friendships and bonds what gives the true community feeling of what GTAW promotes. If you can't make friends gaming with good people, then you're either not letting it happen or something is seriously wrong.

I'd love the concept of erasing private messages, or showing character names (and put the login ID, for example: Player 125). It would boost the immersion a lot.

Bro fr, names should be removed and just add a id to there name up-top, would enhance the rp and slightly slim down the metagaming.

It's one of the things that I always preferred on LSRP.

 

People knew each other a lot less and everything was a lot more enjoyable because of it.
