Thing is Cirion, all those other people who are already playing, at the moment you log in, are already playing. They're already involved in whatever they're involved in. And if your character is known, they might need your character for something. For all you know, they might have been holding up events in the hopes that they would run into your character. And there you are!

But OOOPS sorry everyone, you're there, but you can't interact, so just uhhhh pretend your character isn't there. Even though he is. Because it is inconvenient for you, to be logged into a multi-player interactive game, and actually play the game, as one of multiple players, interactively with each other, for the next ten minutes.

In summary: if you don't have time to RP, then don't log into an RP game. If you do log into an RP game, and there are other PCs around, then don't be surprised, or irritated, if some of them attempt to involve you in the current plotline. That is WHY the game exists.

You might be better off with a first-person shooter, if you find interacting with other players while you're logged into an RP game, to be inconvenient.
