It means roleplay is mandatory, so it’s not a game for you if you just want to play alone by yourself, you need to roleplay with other players.
Roleplay means acting as your created character would and speak like your character would, so not speaking like this “LOL BROOO HOW U DOING?” but for example if your character is a polite human they may speak like this “Greetings good sir, how is your day?”
If they are an angry orc they may speak like this instead “Meh smash yoo puny oomie!”
of course it isn’t the point, and i try to rp as much as possible in games like this, but sometimes you just need to talk tactics or get someone to do a quest with you. outright banning it seems counterproductive.
I think tactics can pretty easily be done while rping. They mostly want you not to use modern terms and follow the personality of your character as far as I can tell
I know the feeling as I experienced that hostility in neverwinter nights servers, but Illarion’s community is very friendly and welcoming to new players, even our 1 evil player is on break teaching the game to newcomers!
what do they mean roleplaying is “enforced”?

i know what roleplaying is, or at least what this game seems to think it is…
i want to know what “enforced” means. they don’t say.
In most games/servers that enforce roleplay, it is a ban. Either temp or permanent
Sounds fun!
sounds impractical in what is basically a numbers game. i get it for things like muds.
I don’t think practicality is really the point, but I also am not a fan of all roleplay. It tends to be pretty hostile to new players

Oh you can talk these things ic (In-character) and there is OOC (Out of character) chat as well just use (()) Or #o in chat

That is good to hear. Still not my jam, but always better to have a welcoming community
