One way to try to stimulate roleplaying is by creating RP events. This can be hit and miss, as sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The best roleplaying I've personally experienced in the game was the 'Galiard's trip to Masahakon' on FEI. It had a feast, a diplomatic meeting between two rulers, an assassination attempt, and events that directly started a war. Best collaborative storytelling between players I've ever read in BM.
The problem is gathering enough players who have the time to roleplay the event. A much less successful attempt was the CoH's grand meeting in Perdan where only about three of us contributed RPs.
Maybe I'll start posting more of my own RPs in the section of the forum. I don't have as much time to write them as I once did, but I still do them when there's an event that merits it. I suppose if more of the roleplayers in the game start copying RPs here it might stimulate more roleplays in the game in an indirect way.
