Solo Roleplaying

Does anyone else role play...all by themselves? I don't mean using language necessarily. I don't really interact with anyone in the game anymore...or at least very rarely. And yet, my name, clothing/gear, displayed titles, virtues, skill set, and play-style are all pretty focused on role playing. I even have a one person guild just so I can have a custom guild title that fits the fiction. I'm currently training Spirit Speak as part of the character's role and I do it in graveyards...because that's where one would get the most opportunities to speak with the dead.

My main is a druid/monk. The skill set is:
  • 120 Meditation
  • 120 Eval. Intelligence
  • 120 Music
  • 120 Provoke
  • 120 Spirit Speak
  • 120 Magery
As for role playing a druid, the only thing missing from this would be Animal Lore but I feel like the scholarly pursuits related to Eval. Intelligence must have included natural science.

I know this isn't weird...but is it common?

Yes.
I returned about 2 yeas ago, and i too do not interact with others often (playing off times)
I played a lot off D&D and my Chars are all playing a role.
Even my Sampire is something like Erlric of Melnibone (in my mind)

The title of this thread caught my interest right away. I am going to watch and see how this develops.

Yes this happens. A lot. One doesn't need an RP community to try to interact with the game world as a character instead of yourself as a player. And, at a basic level, that's all that RolePlaying is. (That's how people say they RolePlay in single-player games.)

Both my husband & I did when we played & will do so again when we start playing soon. Each character had a story. All of our main houses were carefully designed & decorated to reflect our characters’ interests. The decoration was carefully composed and chosen so that each place looked like a home. My specialty was garden design.

Yup. Not as deeply as I did in my Muck and other worlds before UO. But I have developed characters that fulfill roles in my "storyline".

He Makes Monksfoot wine and communicates by dropping books & return runes with questions in peoples mailboxes or posting on bulletin boards in Tram

And for all those will Mailboxes out there, if you want people to put stuff in them and still NOT be able to take stuff out,
set the security of the mailboxes themselves to Co-owners. otherwise the general public cant put stuff in them.
