This is how Inno’s The West Game is described.
"InnoGames' online role-playing game The West sees you start as a greenhorn facing the dangers of the Wild West. Create your own avatar and collect experience by completing tasks and doing jobs. Become a gunslinger by challenging other players to duels. Prove your skills in adventures or just storm forts."
It seems to me that the game has several different paths for a cowpoke to follow as a worker, adventure, gunslinger or soldier and it can be done all in the spirit of a RPG. Yet, other than long ago developers of the game creating a story-line theme with western character’s in a saloon, I see very little Role Play in the actual game play.
JUarez chats for example are filled with either wtb, wts, or real to life comments. Is it because the average player doesn’t understand what role play means or just not interested? Even by reading some user names can give an indication of what a member thinks or doesn’t think of role playing. While some people do make an effort to take on a western role presentación. Many players don’t use RP to their advantage.
Do you think this is true?
