I have read a role playing channel and I still canÆt get my head around it. Even in a personal chat with some you feel they are trapped in their little eve world and just canÆt get out. Banging on the walls of their ships and screaming not to be heard. I only recently found out there was such a thing of role playing in eve. I personally thought of it as something you did in the privacy of your own home. 
I recently met an ore thief, or should I say he met me by stealing ore. Name of bhurak. what a strange fellow.( or girl ) so into his role playing, it makes me wonder if the world is actually safe with people like this about. I must admit though I had gone a bit over the top with having a go at this person, but it saddens me that these people just cant play a game how it was originally designed, to have fun, enjoy others company and seek to better ones self. He and his associates seem hell bent on making other people have a bad eve experience. Why? I look around me in life and see the same people destroying others lives with their easy way out and it sickens me. I work hard in life and in game to get what I have got, so naturally I am going to be a little angry (little he he )
To be honest I donÆt know why I worry, as it is only a game. But I really do wish sometimes I could meet these people in real life and actually show them what it feels like to be bullied and robbed. Not only that. They come out with all the big words and comments about your spelling and how you speak, they actually believe they are good people. How can someone with such gang tactics and deceptive ways actually be normal in real life? Especially when they take their roles so serious.
Oh well enough of my blabbering. I just want to play a game and enjoy it to its fullest. After all is that not what a game is for?
Do you feel the same or do you have a comment to add. ?
I hope for nice people to be nice. But then not even life is like that is it! Happy playing peeps.....

yes maybe. but your idea of a story and mine are obviously different. no one has forced you to read my tale, and most certianly not to reply..
thanks though cos if i need to realy bi*ch ill use what you advised.
anything anyone writes is a story in it's self. what i am after is others to get it off thier chest but without the nastyness and bit*hing. be it a story or just plain tex. in the end it will all be merged, good and bad and just like the butterfly. it will always start as something rather different.

If people want to RP, let them. Same if they want to imagine that they're a gallant space explorer. Those people don't bother me because really, it's just a game and if that's the way they like to "escape reality" it's fine with me. It's probably better for them then drowning their sorrows or doing drugs.
Nobody will force you into RP and vice versa. Once again, it's only a game and real life robbery doesn't compare here.
Would you rather these people do robbery in game or in rl?
And a game where all you could do is mine or trade would be boring. Same if it was only pvp. EVE is meant to appeal to a wide range of people. CCP can't please everyone and if they did it would be a very lame game indeed. Ore Thieving is low, I know but it is a legit part of gameplay.

I think you're taking this all a bit too seriously.
As one qoute on here says "I'm not paying $15 per month to practice good moral values."
Personally I say if you can't lose the hard work you put into this game it may not be for you. It might be wise to get a second job and make the money where it counts.
EVE is a form of escapism for most folks, just like a good book or hobby. If you're playing EVE to practice the good virtues of hard work, then perhaps EVE is not the correct game for you. I'm not trying to be mean or incisive, I'm just telling it like it is really.
I'm curious, it says here you've played for about 8 months. Is that correct? If so, what have you done in that time? Because it seems that you would have known about these things by then and really there is more to EVE then mining veldspar. If you like I can even show you some of the other facets of this game or point you in some directions where you could learn on your own.
You'll run into other RP'ers (Roleplayers) and even the pirates and 0.0 alliances RP to an extent in EVE. It's a very RP intensive game. Don't let Bhurak discorage you but instead let his actions help you. Mine in a secure can or use the war declaration to show him. Another alternative is to hire mercenaries on him, you are far from defenceless in such a situation.
(Edit: Oh and Merlin is correct, this is an appropriate story, it's just not In Character. However not all stories on this forum are.)

The tart sits back in her comfy chair wondering where to go next. Does she lower her standards and join them that break her rules, or does she try to fight a loosing battle. The options are many but the outcome would be the same. The universe being such a large place she would get lost among the many faces. would anyone realy care what she does?
Gazing out the shuttle window she thinks hard what her next step will be. The view of two moons with the sun setting behind destracts her from the point at hand....

You are judging all facets by one. Roleplay isn't just "Blurgh! tookurstufflololol!"
There are as many roles as people to play. Perhaps you believe in freedom from slavery (a contentious issue if there ever was one).
A good way to get into the feel of some basic roleplay is to read the stories here.
That's where I started. I cxhose amarr, but put a different spin on it.
That is here.
I'm not a complete tool. I only recently turned privateer here.
There is more to it than you think. If you decide to, pulgor and I can point you in the right direction to the people you'd most fit in with.

The communication came through loud and clear and she was not sure how to take it. Although the guys new she was a slave to hyundra04, they still try to offer help and advice in the big wide universe. This of course was quite unexpected. She had full intentions of telling them where to stick their advice but restrained herself as she thought maybe she had misjudged them somewhat. All the same she still had to remind herself why she disliked them. The 13 million isk was one reason, but also the rules that she always stuck too had been broke, and this would not be forgotten so easy.
Her attention was brought back to the moons and the still rising sun. It was amazing how for days the sun would just sit there never rising anymore. ôAutopilot engaged ô The computer acknowledged her input on the dash.ö open channel to Hyundra ô she commanded. A moment passed while the computer found the frequency to get through to her master ôI must find out what to do next ôonce again she sat back and stared out the window. Watching the stars rush by...
