From my experience CF RP runs the gamut from non-english speaking players who exist only for PK to deeply complex relationships between mortal enemies.

To be perfectly honest, a good portion of the playerbase leans towards the minimal RP requirements of the MUD, but all it takes to have a very rewarding RP experience is to link up with the right people, of which there are many. Like many things in life, the RP that you get out of the game is based, much of the time, on how much RP you put into it.

It's also been my experience that most quality RP happens either between characters in the same cabal or between characters in diametrically opposed cabals. But, your mileage may vary.

So, welcome and don't get discouraged. It's a tough row to hoe with a very steep learning curve, but the rewards are fantastic.
