RP and strategy are my two fave elements of the game. I prefer RP that comes from heavy characterisation in open letters rather than long green papers, but different strokes for different folks.
I think there's generally great RP going on in EC, Dwilight, Ikalak on SI (which got a little out of hand....) and then the devs did a great job with the daimon story-line on BT. Colonies seems to be dull though.
Great ways to get involved in RPs are to take Gov positions (since you get the leader's etc channel), Guilds, Secret Societies and Religions. Do all of that and you will have RP coming out of your ears!
PS. Anyone know where Lapallanch has gone? His madcap mayhem is massively missed (sorry, I do love an alliteration)!
