Post #1
I'm wondering how far the devs are willing to support RP. By RP I mean, no random killing on sight, and trying to interact with other people. Not much in the way of RP support thus far (like emotes and such), but at least telling people to interact as a basic foundation for rules would be nice. Would be great to see US #4 (RP) listed. ;)
The random killing of fresh spawns will RUIN this game when out of alpha. The spawns are so close together and all of the loot zones are well known and jam packed with people that new spawns with rocks are getting killed almost instantly. Something will need to be done about that, but for the time being a server ruled with "no KOS" would be nice.
Basically, you would be able to rob people, and if they don't comply, kill them. If they attack you, you attack them. If they rob you, you can fight back.
RP communities short of the trolls are generally mind blowingly mature. They take the game to new levels and adhere to a more ethical and sensible play style. In turn, most people get to experience the game a little more than just randomly being killed or killing. With no real end goal here, random killing does very little especially when the haul is 250 torch and a giant rock all the time. It's why most people now don't put on any clothing and wait until kevlar. Just not worth the time and effort.
Any way, I'd like to see it supported. I'm hoping when the game releases we as players will get the chance to host our own servers. I fully intent on running an RP server myself... but until then, some dev support would be nice.

yes because making the name RP would mean players are actually going to RP.
-
Well, you can't guarantee compliance without moderation (moderators and admins watching closely). But at least encourage it.
-
If I recall, you used to be an admin in a Gmod HL2RP server.
How to make people RP on servers? You know the answer of that; admins.
Now referring to the OP; I don't think any 'official' RP servers will be set up, but there's nothing really stopping people from making any kind of server they want, after that option is implemented.
-
I can't see why they couldn't have one now... but, yes, I imagine there will be many after the release. I'll be on those types of servers if they exist for sure. The random killing is annoying.
-
So what if someone wants to RP as a homicidal criminal type that shoots on sight? ;) Do you really think in the future everyone is gonna chat, get along and rebuild society? BURN IT DOWN! ;)
-
Being a homicidal killer is cool... but you'd need to act the part by RP standards. Just killing people and claiming to be, doesn't fly with most of those communities. But there's always the types that want to see the world burn. They just need to show other people through their ACTions (act the part).
-
It's not like they have admins to watch. They are what around 4 devs working on the game itself 24/7 so they wont have time to do that.
-
They can always enlist people for that purpose. ;)
-
it's not that easy
-
Yes it is. Thousands of players. Not everyone is an annoying and immature prick. =)

Coming from somebody who grew up loving to role-play and attempting to find a less competitive and more story driven style of play, I have to say that finding a good role-playing community out of a sea of random people on an open server is near impossible without people claiming abuse at ones banning of those who fail to follow the server rules or people intentionally bending or pushing the rules to the limit to ruin the fun of others while still being allowed to play.
The best solution I can think up would be to rent a server and follow the BMRF steps on setting up a whitelisted server, and have a forum for people to request access and prove they are at least semi-decent individuals that won't kill on sight or do any of the other annoying things people tend to do. The downside is you won't have as many people playing, and there is a huge risk of the server never hitting it off and people never even attempting to join due to this.
Really, to get such a setup working, it depends on how much time, effort, and money you'd be willing to put on this game. Considering it's still in alpha, I'd personally wait until most of the core gameplay is put in place and most of the bugs, glitches, and exploits have been ironed out to a decent degree. Just my two cents on the matter.
-
how would you ever police the KOS? the map will eventually be huge and with 200+ players in one game.. seems like too much work for admins to clean up
probably could happen in a PVE server though
-
How about instead of writing, we need an RP server" explain how it would work, and what would need to be added. Explain how it would stop or reduce random killing. If you were a dev for this game would you want the comment that says, add more guns you bitches!, or the comment that says, guns like a sniper rifle that would take two hits to kill on average (so about 50 dmg). would improve the game because... etc. Don't just ask for something, explain it and rationalize it.
-
It's not going to happen. Not this early in the game, at least. We are still in alpha, still have to get through beta, then final release. After that I am sure this could potentially be considered, but the point of alpha is to set the framework and getting input. While this is indeed input, it is too early for something like this to be implemented, I feel.
-
RP,with fractions,peacekeepers,outlaws,hotels,restaurants, trade posts,cool! :D
-
I can do in Minecraft.
-
So? This doesn't have anything to do with Minecraft, we are talking about rust.
-
Sure lets delete rust beacuse we can do the same in Minecraft,gg
-
Rust RP technically is done allot already in groups.. every time you go tactical and start coordinating that is assuming your role and playing it out in a military fashion... Just food for thought.
-
I would like to see a good RP server with characters, towns, cops, robbers, farmers, miners, merchants, the like...
BUT - it would require admin supervision and a few good Oxide plugins to really get it done the way it needs to be done.
-
Are there any community RP servers? I really like this idea. Especially the idea of restaurants. lol... "This evening we are serving fresh wolf chicken, bear chicken, deer chicken and our specialty, chicken chicken!"
-
I support encouragement of interaction before KoSing, but, I don't support Rust 'RP'
-
Well I know it is a little late to have some input here, but I own a gaming community [GroundZero Gaming] and we host a variety of games such as arma2/3, gmod, mc etc etc and we have a division working on a RP Rust server, our original idea is to have 4 factions each with a town and from that we would build upon it and see how It expands and see which factions fights for and earns more terrortory, we will have a way of showing what faction owns what but it will almost be a mix between PlanetSide 2, Wasteland Mod for Arma 2OA, with the tactical addition of factions raiding other factions etc.
If you guys support this and want to have input please visit our Community Website and hop on the forums http://groundzerogamingcommunity.enjin.com (Rust Section) We really are working hard on this and are hiring Admins and Mods as you know there will be a lot of moderation and surveillance to make sure no one bends rules and cheats/hacks. So hop on the web site and give us some help!
-And yes I am new here :3
Edited:
And yes I do acknowledge there will still be a very high element of KOS and shit like that but hey, whats the point of making an RP server like that of DarkRP, Taki/IslandLife (Arma once again) when its already been done? Hence why we want to introduce a different kind of RP, one that supports a territory style war mixed with a lot of elements of the sort.
Edited:
Yes, We are working on one! Visit our Website!!! http://groundzerogamingcommunity.enjin.com
