People tried to RP in FOT. Made maps and rulesets for it. Had a decent sized community aswell. Thing was they met heavy opposition from the 10k and 2k communities for no apparent reason, so the RPing there died out.
If my memory serves i think they set up the RP sessions like this. (Each session was timed).
1 Mayor
1 Banker
1 Chief of Police and a few policemen
1 Doc
Few merchants
Citizens and the troublemakers.
Most of the time they just winged it. Some sessions, however, were very "in character" specific. I played a few of these sessions. Was ok i think but i have trouble staying IC for a long duration. Thinking back i shouldve put more effort into it.
