What Do you Like in an RP

Heya guys. While trying to expand my mapmaking horizons, I want to make a roleplay map, but have a standstill. I have not played an RP map before, nor have gotten the chance to, and it seems that everyone around here is pretty familar with them.

I was just wondering what features you like to see in RPs. I created a list of my own here. Please feel free to suggest or critizise any of my ideas.

• Have an open map, given a special invisable unit to the GM, allowing him to build props and set up the story by creating units to give quests, and being able to modify what different books, journals, scrolls, etc. do. He can also choose a basic plot theme if he likes, or can go from scratch to create his own. The GM cannot godmod by changing what other player's journals, diaries, special items, etc. or by putting them in any location to suggest that the person was there before, or something happened to it. That is up to the respective character to decide where they want to play in the plot.
• Allow the characters to choose any class, but also allow them to choose their gender and their model they want their character to be, plus a special item they want, which can be named via chat commands. They can also write in their history in their diary, which are be placed by them in any location, or just kept in their inventory.
• You can choose your spells based on your class and attributes you have selected, altering your class to a unique level. You can also have 1 unrelated spell. You can also choose your personality by answering a simple 10 question quiz while the GM is setting the game up, which your Action spellbook, containing emotes such as Laugh, Nod, etc., is based off of.
• You can choose if you want to bond with someone, whether it is a realationship or become brothers, the Action spelbook will get new pages for every relationship with someone, your personality can change through this, as in the different relationships, there is a few options that stray away from your main personality.
• Different talents can be obtained from doing quests of different natures, which can increase or decrease the effects of your spells, or replace a spell with a new one. When you start out, your talents are invested in wherever your personality and your class lie.

(This might belong in the Idea Factory, and if it does, move it there.)

So, if you have any ideas at all, please post them here.

Thanks

In current RP's, everyone is a GM, and there are no actual rules or limits you have.

Ok. No rules and limits. I still think that the host should have some authority over other players and can change the general direction of the game.

Well, the host has the ability to kick and ban, and the ability to restrict certain functions in the game, but either then that, players can do what they like, as long as they don't piss off the host.

I like it when people put a lot of work into their towns, take full advantage of stuff like the raise tool and terrain, and the tree editing.

I also like RPs not centered entirely on war or killing, and where you can't "level up". In my RPs I use a level=rank system, where 1=apprentice, 2="graduate", 3=trained, 4=master, 5=grandmaster, 6=supernatural. Or maybe with 2 levels per rank, depends on the theme.

Off-topic: No. I have never played on US. West.

Host bears the "Ban Hammer"... What i like in RPes ?
-Terrain Changer
-Custom Models
-Themes
-RPers
-Very low limit's in creating town's...
-Very low limit's in hero creation...
-Setname and Name command
-Man who hosted it :P

And thing i would like if it would exist...
-Possibility to set seeall command useless for theese damn cheaters...
U know sometimes it would be really good to travel across the land and meet someone by accident... But as long as seeall exist's we will be just mnstring unit's on way of player we dislike :P

Ok: so you say classes with reinforced plot, a obstacle, and some room, but not a free rp? Ok. I can do that

I'm not a big fan of mass importing models, so HRP 1.4 never gained much popularity (people seem to disdain maps without custom models now: AoDRP has a lot to answer for), but shared vision is off in HRP 1.4, so seeall off works legitly.

On another note, the HRP 1.4b terrainer has options to terrain in square shapes, or to use a terrain builder. Whatever fits your needs to terrain as quickly as possible.

Ok, that was a bit pointless.

A DnD might not be a bad idea, ill ignore steel and go with a DnD.

Sorry, typo. Have some rep for my mistake.
