RoseCross Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) I do not hide it, I sometimes show my family members whats going on ingame. Only positive feedback is what I've got, they know that roleplaying was a major part of my gaming experience. English skills, typing efficiency and more creativity is what roleplaying has contributed to me. Edited April 24, 2021 by RoseCross Link to comment
LAGhost Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 no. it's a don't ask don't tell scenario but i already told my brother i have fun playing here. ain't no shame in roleplaying, when you play any game at all, you're immersing yourself as that char, i mean why do you think people invest in high end rigs? apart from mining or sims?

415 Man Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Most of my family don't understand computers all too well, but if asked I don't hide it; I just give them a very basic explanation of what I'm doing. Link to comment
Narco Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Nope, my girlfriend knows I play and often watches me LOL. She laughs all the time. Link to comment
Cacksii Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 My internet friends know, mainly because I met them all through RP servers. A few IRL friends know what GTA World is, but don't understand the extent of my character development, roleplay abilities, etc. Whenever they see me playing on Discord they assume I'm just playing vanilla GTA V. My brother does know because he used to RP on an old server with me on SAMP, but he's gotten more into Rocket League, OSRS, and games like that. I tried explaining it to my ex-girlfriend when we were both "under the influence" and I was on admin duty on my old server, she didn't understand it at all, but I doubt she would have if she was sober.

MVX Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I had a good friend that used to play a lot of SA:MP, we've have had a lot of characters, we almost went through every ethnicity there is. He went to HS and told his peers about his stories and events that we went through from a first-person perspective, avoiding telling them it was a game. It got so bad that other parents told their kids to stop conversating with him because they believed he had multiple personality disorder. Link to comment
Earlll Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 My friends doesn't really understand the idea behind this. However, since I live with my girlfriend she knows all about it and since we've been dating for like four years now she doesn't care. She does make fun of me for roleplaying a female officer, often mocking me it's expected though. If it wasn't for us living together she would never find out. Link to comment
Earlll Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Oh and my family knows, I'm not really ashamed of telling anyone about it to be honest as I've learned a lot from roleplaying. Learned stuff that actually benefitted me IRL. Link to comment
ThatDutchPerson Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Im not really hiding it, but Im not actively talking about it either, and honestly neither to my friends. In the past there was a forum of the server PRRP which wasn’t set to private, and bullies from back in high school started googling my YouTube name. They stumbled upon character Katherine Reid, and the entire forum including my posts. It was humiliating, and that year was hell. Ever since then I keep it hidden in a neutral way, and at this moment there is only one friend who knows that I roleplay and even what I roleplay. We even get some good talks out of it! When I informed him about the CK of my character Luna Santiago, we started talking about the gang culture and MS13 and thats really cool. So far he is the only one that knows Im roleplaying to this day. He shows interest and thats enough for me to comfortably disclose it to him 🙂 Link to comment
ClaudeSpeed Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hmm... good thread. if I told my dad I'm playing in a rolplay server, he'd think I'm a loner irl or he might think I don't have a life With full honesty I do hide GTA Wrld from my friends and family. Link to comment
