the_logos will become famous soon enough
I think it depends on what you see as RP. It's certainly not RP-enforced, but players get awfully caught up in the in-role fiction of the game. For instance, after an event a couple years ago in which one player managed to cause a firestorm to descend upon one of the player-cities, killing everyone and everything in it, there was a huge to-do about putting her on trial for crimes against humanity. (She didn't know exactly what her actions were going to do but she had very good reason to believe they were going to hurt SOMEONE.) There were problems with the city she was a citizen of not being as willing to put her forth for trial as the victimized city might like, etc. I forget what eventually came of it, but I believe they did have a trial, etc.

I don't know if you want to call that RP or not, but it's the kind of thing I tend to be more interested in seeing in-game than RP in the sense of talking with an 'accent', etc.
