Some history from memory. Since the days when LotRO was still going to be called Middle-Earth Online (MEO), users of the MEO Forums had been discussing RP servers, asking for one to be named when the game went live.
Flash forward some time later after Turbine acquired the game rights and announced the final name of the game, Lord of the Rings Online and then later gave us a preliminary list of the Server Names, the Community noticed that none had been labeled as an RP server.
In a sign of just how mature and awesome the MEO/LotRO Community was and still is, instead of the Community complaining left and right like we see in so many other game communities, the Community banded together and put up discussions on choosing an Unofficial Server.
Landroval was the Communities Majority choice for this. This doesn't mean you will not find RP on other servers, nor does it mean that Landroval is nothing but RPers.
On the contrary, Landroval is full of all types of players. It just happens to be one that may have the most Roleplayers from the MEO days. Meneldor is another server that I have heard in passing that has quite a bit of RP players as well. I also know of some RP activity on Windfola. I also have it in my mind that Elendilmir was also spoke of as having a nice RP Community as well. I could be wrong however on the latter, as I cannot recall specifics, just for some reason that server name sticks in my head as having been spoke of in an RP discussion.
Usually, I can often find Roleplayers in Bree Town, usually by the Pony Inn, role-playing with each other. It is quite refreshing to see from the rigors of a long sitting of monster hunting and questing, even though I myself rarely engage in RP with people I do not know.
Although, I am usually always in character when I play LotRO. However I do not stay in character if I am speaking or grouping with others who are not role-playing, as I do not want to disrespect their playstyle any by making them feel like they have to RP with me.
Welcome to Middle-Earth and to those who chose Landroval, welcome to Landroval!
