People really dislike going along with the motions and instead try very hard to manipulate the situation in their favor. Not to mention all the simpery and white knighting makes everything seem like a reddit community put into a video game.
Someone needs to make one where you interact with the world and players as if it was the base game with perhaps just bank robberies and bounties added. No shit with failed RP instant ban. Make the bank robberies a little more as if it was like the Valentine or Saint Denis robbery mission, if the law arrives too late they arrive too late. That also prevents people being held hostage for 15 minutes.
the problem is that there are WAY too many rules and the rules are too strict, roleplay servers can be very or extremely fun it is that the creators of those servers attempt to make everything PERFECTLY balanced so that nobody has a advantage over other people. Most of time when you do things you have to look at rules to see if you are not breaking any and that is not fun
The concept of RP in general is good. GTA, RDR or even DayZ roleplay are on paper extremely fun, but are ruined by massive applications, buggy non polished systems, no tutorials, the playerbase or the rules of the server. If someone made a good server with polished systems and tutorials for new players with a small and very lenient form to join, it would probably be awesome, but that's not the case.
Very professional. Hogtie a guy at gunpoint literally inside a town, kidnap him to the next town and have him lie down and witness you rob a bank. At first I thought they’d use you as a hostage, but no-one literally seemed to care. Great roleplay, very realistic.
was thinking the same thing. like, how the fuck is it possible to kidnap someone in the middle of a town and then ride to another town where a bank robbery is going on and no one seems to care. why do you even need a hostage from fucking valentine if your robbing in rhodes. and the sheriffs or whatever they were just let them steal everything and peacefully ride away from the crime scene? i dont know much about the wild west, but i do know that rp servers do not depict the wild west in any way

@@lewisofthehoood yeah that would be even worse but in the context of the rp why would they take someone from an entirely different town to be a hostage in a bank robbery?
RDR2, GTA and Arma RP generally suffer from the same problem: The owners and the surrounding team become almost despotic, start getting upset if anyone points it out to them and then they fall into some sort of death spiral that will one day befall every single RP server. I've seen it so much that I can smell symptoms before they even occur.
Wildrp is probably the best for actual roleplay as most the folks there actually know how to roleplay and create interesting scenes/narratives. It's also probably the hardest to get into for that reason but might be worth it.
All the servers you played on use Teamspeak and Saltychat, not in-game voice. The reason why you can hear some players is because they also have the in-game chat enabled and are essentially double talking through Teamspeak and In-Game chat. Also, most of those servers are copy pasta of each other - the character creator is a dead giveaway. The only servers with some originality are Dakota River Bend (made by actual RDO players, uses in game voice and is controller friendly) - WildRP (elite quality RP, very good developers, albeit with no controller support at all) - Ranch RP (similar to Wild, but not as ‘elite’)
Calling wildRP elite😂 I’d call them “snobby”. Never have I ever encountered a server that wanted clips of you voice acting to get in. Or a server that REQUIRES your mic to be one of those wild desk mics. They’re so far up their own ass.
@@Mannysnr1 There's morons in every server. Making your entry application not only obtuse and difficult, but to the point that they require you to have a specific mic? Fuck that. You drive away twice as many good people as you do the bad.
Had a bit of this spill into console RDO once after a Moonshine sale in Blackwater Guy tried asking me if I knew a criminal gang, but I was riding off to do a legendary bounty (the board was very close) and he started firing at me - long story short I killed him first and I apparently ruined his roleplay after I popped him and his buddy
90% of hardcore role players cant even roleplay. they act as if it is life and have 0 improv skills to go along with any situation that will arise, they are just bland ppl
As a arma 3 server hoster I saw a comment saying “they are reddit moderators” and it’s not wrong. Most gta rp or rdrp servers are ran by reddit/discord mods, wannabe hood rats, or real life leo or other public service officials doing GTA/rd2 stuff on Off-days.
That's still a better experience than I got. My first time around was: make a character, listen to the main plot, go out, get shot, come back to base, walk outside, survive long enough to go into Valentine, get shot, pop back into camp, go back to get my stuff, get shot before I even make it into town, go back to camp, go back into town more stealth like, make it to where I died last, find the guy that shot me, shoot him 3 times before I get shot, pop back into camp because I died like 3 times, turn around, go somewhere else, see a long road of nothing till I get shot again, pop back into camp because I got shot 4 times now, poke my head out of camp, get shot, gave up, and never played the game again.
Reminds me of Star wars the old republic. I finally decided to join a rp server and this basically sums it up: You have to fill out a form, YOU MUST JOIN THEIR DISCORD, You can't be (Whatever the admins decide.) You can't have (Whatever the admins decide) And when you finally get to the roleplay? Its just people standing in a room typing at each other.
I tried to get into RDRP and even had a friend join with me. We found a server that didn't have too many rules and had a decent population. But earning money was a slog, if you didn't work for a player run business your only other option was hunting. Sheriffs were always assholes who didn't participate in rp. Most of the server had regulars who were good roleplayers but they were extremely cliquey and wouldn't involve new players or anyone they didn't know. Gunfights were rare and sucked when they did happen because third person didn't have cross hairs and you were limited to bad guns if you didn't have money for better ones. Finding decent jobs was hard due to the before mentioned cliquey behavior and other jobs were downright mindless slave labor. For instance a group was running a massive farm in the emerald ranch, but they required their farm hands to wear a uniform do mindless work where you'd plant, water, harvest for hours while making low but steady wages. All while being at the emerald ranch the whole time away from all the good rp. I eventually learned from a player about graverobbing that paid better but had a risk of getting caught, however the player wouldn't reveal where the npc fence was and instead acted as a middleman where we'd have to get a cut from him, also some sheriffs would camp grave sites. I did have some fun times role playing as a chivalrous Knight of Ohio, I even wore the Ned Kelly armor from the multiplayer mission to sell the knightly look. However the sheriffs were always assholes and demanded that I never wear my helmet which like wtf I'm a knight? I did equip my horse with a mask and jokingly asked the sheriff if the horse had to take off his helmet too (wouldn't you guess it the sheriff wasn't amused)
I RP in a server that was on screen at 11:27 and I have so much fun. From a serial killer in Valentine to coal miners being stopped and searched on the way to make a delivery, there’s lots of people who take it seriously enough to make simply riding around and interacting with people really fun.
I play on a whitelist one and I vastly prefer it over the regular RDO. But I think it highly depends on the type of player. I enjoyed the entire process of crafting a backstory and doing slow tasks. The fact that I can go for a trail ride, build a shop, own a cabin, hunt/fish, without the RDO experience of a tomahawk or shotgun to the back with no lead up
I tried fivem and got bored real quick. GTA Roleplaying servers should be like gta samp where if you broke law no talking your way out but get chase down and that’s fun.
I did have a blast on WWRP, despite its long application process. I was on it for a year and had a lot of fun, but ended up being banned because some admins had their delicate egos shattered. Honestly, EVERY Red Dead RP server has at least one flaw; bad design, poor UI, buggy gameplay, power-hunger staff ... the list just goes on. 😔
I've been playing Gilded RP. I didn't think I'd like it much but I'm still playing. Seeing these other servers makes me grateful for the server I'm on. These look so soulless and empty. The cards in Syn county make me want to vomit. Things aren't perfect, but it's fun enough, especially with friends.
people have always asked for rdr undead nightmare 2, though its always just been right infront of them the whole time, rdo and rd roleplay (quick side note the games them selves are good, e.g. functions, and concept, but the players ruin it)
Sometimes I like to go on twitch and watch people rp on red dead (Skoog, specifically) whenever I watch his streams (Which are always sooo long) there is always something going on and its fun to watch, although, it is one of those rp servers you have to spend awhile to fill out an application, and create a character with a good enough backstory. But from what ive seen, if you want to go into it long term its definitely worth it.
Just not worth roleplaying, I signed up to a server once - waited a long time for the process. And the finally thought I'd get in and was refused for making a character they happened to not like despite spending a long time working on a background to fit the altered world story they had. They didn't care to explain further or allow any more chances, despite the effort and waiting I put in. I miss the days me and my friend would just hunt and roleplay by ourselves, RedM RP is miserable.
you know, I have the same background as you, Arma3 RP and DayZ and Idk man, it could be that these games were too chaotic and toxic but in RedM people just want to literally "RP-talk" everything, but at the same time I also want to experience some crime, shootings, etc... I want some wild west but haven't seen a single server like this for RDR2
I just can’t stand how people take themselves so seriously and if I don’t play along it’s failrp, 69% edat3rs and 31% power tripping gits. Normal red dead online is miles better if there aren’t hackers. The only “rp” servers I had fun on was Gmod darkrp, it had very fun add ons and you mostly wouldn’t get banned for just playing the game (for example not playing along with someone random whim to force a roleplay)
The main issues with Roleplay servers are toxic server owners who prioritize quantity over quality, biased staff who favor their friends, and players who can't separate RP from real life. I've experienced this firsthand. I play on WildRP now, but before that, I was on these problematic servers. The experience was awful. People don't understand the basics of RP. Instead of playing a character from that time period, they bring in a version of their real-life self. They stand around, mess around with friends, bully others (because they're weak in real life), and ruin the reputation of RedM. This behavior ruins the experience for those who genuinely want to enjoy RP
I guess it's hard to strike a balance between being despotic or immersive. (Usually people of good will do well without problems, but you have the trolls too, that's why the mods then become neurotic with anyone)
I got denied from one because i wanted to gain a deep understanding of the rules and if you get denied from thrre you cany try again haveing to join there discord though is not that big of a deal
ST-RP is the only text server if you prefer text instead of cringe voice. Still requires you to make a whitelist on the forums but thats just to weed out the shitters and all that.
I read that some blacksmiths are skilled to shoe horses so maybe the ones that do and are fond of horses, keep them as treats. Which is odd because why not sell it at the stable? Horses love biscuits/ cookies
If you feel like taking another crack at rdr rp, I'd recommend Ranch Roleplay, granted I haven't played on it in about a year since getting burnt out on rp. I can't tell you what their whitelist situation looks like, they added that months after I joined. But from what I remember it had some really solid rp, staff, and made all of its custom scripts in-house rather than the hodgepodge you see on a lot of servers that tends to cause technical issues.
Did they go WL after that massive player increase from the other server shutting down? I played there before the que times were awful and it was one of the better ones
If I can say, don't know how much this will be listened to, but the red dead PC rp scene is much different than the Xbox scene. There's definitely some connections you can spot in these rp servers, but in Xbox you constantly feel like you're missing era's worth of story's, split between million of mini groups, all working near the same ideas because the game doesn't give them much to work with.
Some good serious RP servers - - RanchRP - WildRP (Best) - WildWestRP - Highstakes Atleast these are some i have experience with and like from watching others RP.
Just like with every game the majority of roleplay servers aren't great. Id recommend looking into wildrp (or ranch rp if you want a easier application process but lesser quality roleplay). I have yet to experience or watch better roleplay then what I have seen and played within WildRP. There is a decent amount of rules, but the rp quality makes it worth the time.
@@ghostyhype_btw4303 yes exactly, just pointing it out as so many people think they’ll jump straight into it and not understand why their application has been denied
I had some fantastic experiences RPing on my first red dead server in its early days. But tech issues were constant. And so to were people power gaming and intersocial drama and people in staff roles abusing power. If you get past the cringey interactions, I imagine you'd just have picked up on those same experiences and eventually lost your vibe for it. Is it worth it? Depends on you as a person and what you're looking for. I Overall don't regret devoting the better part of a year to a red dead online server.
Syn county vet here played it for years, when theres more than 32 people in the same town theres issues seeing people and hearing people, that was the valentine issue, not finding anyone was likely being instanced untill he crashed and came back, blackwater valentine rhoades all tend to be busy, , the standing npcs are dead from somebody elses mission and havent despawned yet, the server is a lot of fun but in my opinion the RP and characters have become more shallow since they removed the 10 person gang limit, definitely think you should give it another shot, when the server is populated
Never played RedM, I’ve had my fair share of Console Roleplay and it is BORING or maybe I’m just worn out. Makes the Trader role look fun in a way. I’d recommend taking a look into it, I’m not gonna name a server only because I don’t wanna promote anything, but from the looks of it you’d have a lot more fun their than on RedM. The only cons that come up to mind is most servers are unorganized, dead or have terrible staff. Then in-sessions just beware of griefers and hope that one of the people you ride pass or find in towns are players in the server. But honestly with how dead Red Dead Online its self is, it shouldn’t be a struggle. Depending on the server and its staff you could put no effort in your setup.
I've been playing RedM since 2021 when it was in it'd infancy and I'll say this before when you needed the full game to play RedM the RP was for the most part super immersive and quite good especially compared to FiveM but around the summer of 2022 when they made it just need red dead online the quality of RP has gone down every passing day until now where it is full of corny gangs dressed like they are in FiveM and super cops who can't shoot worth a damn usually admins that go on power trips anytime they lose a gunfight.
I've played on a sever called ranch which is a white listed server, the community most part isnt very toxic. Very rp heavy the only down side is if you piss off the wrong admin, they can litterly ban you for some reasn they come up with and call it their golden rule.
we have a mute friend that RPs all the in fiveM we get her on one day on redM on forgotten trails and they ban her for under age and for being medically mute. "All admins and mods have the right to make ANY decisions on the server" You must be 18+ to be able to play and also have a mic to voice (set on Push to talk) and speak english on the server. this is the rule they are talking about it says be able to dose not say mandatory.
I think it's alright to try a game for 1 to 3 hours not every people out there have the interest to keep playing for 10 or 20 hours because why wait so long to find the fun in a game to get in to the action and fun for you do you and I appreciate your honesty in the video I do find enjoyment in red dead I have never tired any role play games but I find it sad that Rockstar abandon red dead because it's looks so good graphics wise and game play is alright it has so much untouched potential that can really be added but they don't that's sad to see
The concept of FiveM and RedM roleplay was really good, but now it feels more like a gamemode, with everything being organized in Discord servers filled with too many kids. RP is dead. If you're truly into roleplay and have also roleplayed in Arma, you simply won't find the same experience with any of these games anymore. Almost nothing, except for Dungeons & Dragons, offers roleplay that is genuinely good.
@@BoominGame yeah, but still we both know that 90% of that roleplay are just regular dudes who are just playing like an idiot for the sake of mad at people with a reason, i dont think its due to its age but i dont think young people would roleplay on rdr online at all (gta exists)
The only reason that bank heist was going so well is probably because the two parties were OOC friends so they were going through the motions and having fun with it. Any other time on these so-called RP servers, it escalates into a shitstorm and people end up getting banned.
Been awhile from when this was posted, but I’ll toss in my two cents here I guess? Red Dead RP basically died a year or so ago. After RDR2 got RedM there was a lot of really cool RP servers people made, but sadly they all kind of fractured and died. The heist at the bank you encountered is pretty common stuff and you aren’t going to have the shoot outs and escapes of the old days. It all kind of fell apart. There are a few good ones, but like you said you gotta put a lot of time in them. Wild RP was good one, but I haven’t been there in a long ass time. The jump in and shoot cops or robbers style of RP that ARMA did is pretty much a thing of the past and you aren’t gonna get that out of the newer RP stuff. I feel bad for the admins of these servers, so much of it is managing personalities and the multiple ideas of what good RP is among the trash that the RP itself basically dies. I wish you luck on finding what’s good for you!
You could have a look at FiveM. At least there you have option of whitelisted and public servers. But it can still be a bit aids at times, far better than RedM though.
I used to play on Syn County about a year ago (before they removed the whitelist) and I loved it. There were things that were frustrating, like how robbing people was op and getting robbed left you feeling frustrated with limited ways to get your stuff back or retaliate but finding a gang or group of people helped a lot. I can say that most of the people on there were great role players and cultivated rich stories that I still think of fondly today. Shout out to the McGavins! No group on the server was perfect but yall were so welcoming and helpful, riding out to back me up or helping guide me when I needed help. -Mabel Bee (the horse trainer/doctor and her husband Seabass the Blackwater Fisherman)
I’ll also say that there were so many different things for your character to do, it made it easy to diversify. I did many things, like bird training, horse training, bounty hunting, I wrote a book about bird training, befriended two stunt brothers, a time traveling schemer and his gang, had a whole arc with a serial killer, sold pies under the table to different gangs, went on police raid ride alongs, and was a doctor. Each thing was so much fun! Being silly made it so much fun. Shout out to the guy who lost his legs getting run over by a horse and joyously appreciated the donkey legs swapped his real legs out for from a dead donkey nearby. It ended up becoming a key part of his character. When you find a server with people who appreciate it and want to rp for the sake of rping, it can be so damn enjoyable.
RDR2 RP has the potential to be amazing, but from my experience, unless you get REALLY lucky with the RP server, it's pretty bad and boring. I prefer DayZ for Roleplaying over other games, had a RP 3 days ago where me and like 8 other players tracked down a group that killed one of our own, and then we killed them off one by one until we got to the last guy, where we gave him 2 choices. Join us, or Die. Guess what? Our group got a little bigger that day.

@@lewisofthehoood yeah that would be even worse but in the context of the rp why would they take someone from an entirely different town to be a hostage in a bank robbery?
Ye and "can you hop of the horse please"...ye wasn't born y-day. She's getting an insta bullet to the face.
RDR2, GTA and Arma RP generally suffer from the same problem: The owners and the surrounding team become almost despotic, start getting upset if anyone points it out to them and then they fall into some sort of death spiral that will one day befall every single RP server. I've seen it so much that I can smell symptoms before they even occur.
The same story with the same characters (tards)
Wildrp is probably the best for actual roleplay as most the folks there actually know how to roleplay and create interesting scenes/narratives. It's also probably the hardest to get into for that reason but might be worth it.
Cringe
I guess the best is improvising stuff on the fly
All the servers you played on use Teamspeak and Saltychat, not in-game voice. The reason why you can hear some players is because they also have the in-game chat enabled and are essentially double talking through Teamspeak and In-Game chat. Also, most of those servers are copy pasta of each other - the character creator is a dead giveaway.
The only servers with some originality are Dakota River Bend (made by actual RDO players, uses in game voice and is controller friendly) - WildRP (elite quality RP, very good developers, albeit with no controller support at all) - Ranch RP (similar to Wild, but not as ‘elite’)
Calling wildRP elite😂
I’d call them “snobby”. Never have I ever encountered a server that wanted clips of you voice acting to get in. Or a server that REQUIRES your mic to be one of those wild desk mics. They’re so far up their own ass.
@@daks5122Thats so retarded 😂
Teamspeak is crazy 💀
@@daks5122You're right but if you don't do that then you end up becoming one of the servers in this video soooooo...
@@Mannysnr1 There's morons in every server. Making your entry application not only obtuse and difficult, but to the point that they require you to have a specific mic? Fuck that. You drive away twice as many good people as you do the bad.

Had a bit of this spill into console RDO once after a Moonshine sale in Blackwater
Guy tried asking me if I knew a criminal gang, but I was riding off to do a legendary bounty (the board was very close) and he started firing at me - long story short I killed him first and I apparently ruined his roleplay after I popped him and his buddy
Did you skin the legendary geeks?
their intelligence level sounds questionable
after that experience i'd not get close to anything roleplay related
hardocre roleplayers are the funniest like they spend half ther day into a game and cry when someone doesnt roleplay
And half that day consists of standing around waiting for someone to break the rules
90% of hardcore role players cant even roleplay. they act as if it is life and have 0 improv skills to go along with any situation that will arise, they are just bland ppl
the Takeshi's castle replay caught me off guard lol, love it
Having seen a playlist of it on RUclips it may have been stuck in my head
As a arma 3 server hoster
I saw a comment saying “they are reddit moderators” and it’s not wrong.
Most gta rp or rdrp servers are ran by reddit/discord mods, wannabe hood rats, or real life leo or other public service officials doing GTA/rd2 stuff on Off-days.
That's still a better experience than I got. My first time around was: make a character, listen to the main plot, go out, get shot, come back to base, walk outside, survive long enough to go into Valentine, get shot, pop back into camp, go back to get my stuff, get shot before I even make it into town, go back to camp, go back into town more stealth like, make it to where I died last, find the guy that shot me, shoot him 3 times before I get shot, pop back into camp because I died like 3 times, turn around, go somewhere else, see a long road of nothing till I get shot again, pop back into camp because I got shot 4 times now, poke my head out of camp, get shot, gave up, and never played the game again.
Reminds me of Star wars the old republic.
I finally decided to join a rp server and this basically sums it up:
You have to fill out a form,
YOU MUST JOIN THEIR DISCORD,
You can't be (Whatever the admins decide.)
You can't have (Whatever the admins decide)
And when you finally get to the roleplay?
Its just people standing in a room typing at each other.
I tried to get into RDRP and even had a friend join with me. We found a server that didn't have too many rules and had a decent population. But earning money was a slog, if you didn't work for a player run business your only other option was hunting. Sheriffs were always assholes who didn't participate in rp. Most of the server had regulars who were good roleplayers but they were extremely cliquey and wouldn't involve new players or anyone they didn't know. Gunfights were rare and sucked when they did happen because third person didn't have cross hairs and you were limited to bad guns if you didn't have money for better ones. Finding decent jobs was hard due to the before mentioned cliquey behavior and other jobs were downright mindless slave labor. For instance a group was running a massive farm in the emerald ranch, but they required their farm hands to wear a uniform do mindless work where you'd plant, water, harvest for hours while making low but steady wages. All while being at the emerald ranch the whole time away from all the good rp. I eventually learned from a player about graverobbing that paid better but had a risk of getting caught, however the player wouldn't reveal where the npc fence was and instead acted as a middleman where we'd have to get a cut from him, also some sheriffs would camp grave sites. I did have some fun times role playing as a chivalrous Knight of Ohio, I even wore the Ned Kelly armor from the multiplayer mission to sell the knightly look. However the sheriffs were always assholes and demanded that I never wear my helmet which like wtf I'm a knight? I did equip my horse with a mask and jokingly asked the sheriff if the horse had to take off his helmet too (wouldn't you guess it the sheriff wasn't amused)
I remember my first time trying Red Dead rp, and i got stuck permanently on a bench. 10/10 bench gameplay.
*Born to experience the freedom of the west*
*Forced to be kidnapped by outlaws to impress their girlfriend*
I RP in a server that was on screen at 11:27 and I have so much fun. From a serial killer in Valentine to coal miners being stopped and searched on the way to make a delivery, there’s lots of people who take it seriously enough to make simply riding around and interacting with people really fun.
What server is it?
@@BoominGame Dakota River Bend
@@syngibbs thx
I play on a whitelist one and I vastly prefer it over the regular RDO. But I think it highly depends on the type of player. I enjoyed the entire process of crafting a backstory and doing slow tasks. The fact that I can go for a trail ride, build a shop, own a cabin, hunt/fish, without the RDO experience of a tomahawk or shotgun to the back with no lead up
Maybe don’t let me and everyone else sneak up on you in RDO
It’s really like finding a diamond in the rough, it is fun, you just have to find that one server
Which one do you play on
@@sowpmactavish I found an Xbox server that is relatively friendly, but I have had my fair share of experiences with wildrp which is great aswell
which one
@@Cyclopeantreegiant check out wildrp
Tell us which one buddy
I tried fivem and got bored real quick. GTA Roleplaying servers should be like gta samp where if you broke law no talking your way out but get chase down and that’s fun.
Why blacksmith had biscuits for sale? Maybe because he didn't wanted them and figured he would sell them?
The Frontier and Dakota River Bend is the only two I had a good experience for US servers.
how hard is it to make a few rules and some Addons and just have normal workers Robberies and stuff
I did have a blast on WWRP, despite its long application process. I was on it for a year and had a lot of fun, but ended up being banned because some admins had their delicate egos shattered. Honestly, EVERY Red Dead RP server has at least one flaw; bad design, poor UI, buggy gameplay, power-hunger staff ... the list just goes on. 😔
I've been playing Gilded RP. I didn't think I'd like it much but I'm still playing.
Seeing these other servers makes me grateful for the server I'm on. These look so soulless and empty. The cards in Syn county make me want to vomit.
Things aren't perfect, but it's fun enough, especially with friends.
We all gonna ignore that piano??
I have no words for the logic of robbing a bank while the doors are open with someone hogtied in the doorframe lol
people have always asked for rdr undead nightmare 2, though its always just been right infront of them the whole time, rdo and rd roleplay
(quick side note the games them selves are good, e.g. functions, and concept, but the players ruin it)
Join the dark side, become the troll.
Sometimes I like to go on twitch and watch people rp on red dead (Skoog, specifically) whenever I watch his streams (Which are always sooo long) there is always something going on and its fun to watch, although, it is one of those rp servers you have to spend awhile to fill out an application, and create a character with a good enough backstory. But from what ive seen, if you want to go into it long term its definitely worth it.
10:06 that icon for medical is the bandage icon from 7 Days to Die.
exactly at 8:00 you could see a guy arriving with an invisible horse
Just not worth roleplaying, I signed up to a server once - waited a long time for the process. And the finally thought I'd get in and was refused for making a character they happened to not like despite spending a long time working on a background to fit the altered world story they had. They didn't care to explain further or allow any more chances, despite the effort and waiting I put in. I miss the days me and my friend would just hunt and roleplay by ourselves, RedM RP is miserable.
you know, I have the same background as you, Arma3 RP and DayZ and Idk man, it could be that these games were too chaotic and toxic but in RedM people just want to literally "RP-talk" everything, but at the same time I also want to experience some crime, shootings, etc... I want some wild west but haven't seen a single server like this for RDR2
10:41 nobody gonna talk about how those biscuits that are definitely not made out of steel eight 3 lbs
I just can’t stand how people take themselves so seriously and if I don’t play along it’s failrp, 69% edat3rs and 31% power tripping gits. Normal red dead online is miles better if there aren’t hackers.
The only “rp” servers I had fun on was Gmod darkrp, it had very fun add ons and you mostly wouldn’t get banned for just playing the game (for example not playing along with someone random whim to force a roleplay)
The main issues with Roleplay servers are toxic server owners who prioritize quantity over quality, biased staff who favor their friends, and players who can't separate RP from real life. I've experienced this firsthand. I play on WildRP now, but before that, I was on these problematic servers. The experience was awful. People don't understand the basics of RP. Instead of playing a character from that time period, they bring in a version of their real-life self. They stand around, mess around with friends, bully others (because they're weak in real life), and ruin the reputation of RedM. This behavior ruins the experience for those who genuinely want to enjoy RP
This is anpretty fair assessment
I guess it's hard to strike a balance between being despotic or immersive.
(Usually people of good will do well without problems, but you have the trolls too, that's why the mods then become neurotic with anyone)
ever have the issues with the voice in the ingame voice system just turn ur mic off and on in the settings and it should be ok , vids great
My biggest issue with rp is just how buggy it is. Especially when trying to make a character.
I got denied from one because i wanted to gain a deep understanding of the rules and if you get denied from thrre you cany try again haveing to join there discord though is not that big of a deal
ST-RP is the only text server if you prefer text instead of cringe voice. Still requires you to make a whitelist on the forums but thats just to weed out the shitters and all that.
The thing is, the roleplay groups are very hit or miss. Either they’re very good servers, or really bad.
I read that some blacksmiths are skilled to shoe horses so maybe the ones that do and are fond of horses, keep them as treats. Which is odd because why not sell it at the stable? Horses love biscuits/ cookies
Your character looks like dr shuiltz from django unchained
You know when hammering a nail in the game is harder than in real life, its going to be a bad time.
If you feel like taking another crack at rdr rp, I'd recommend Ranch Roleplay, granted I haven't played on it in about a year since getting burnt out on rp. I can't tell you what their whitelist situation looks like, they added that months after I joined. But from what I remember it had some really solid rp, staff, and made all of its custom scripts in-house rather than the hodgepodge you see on a lot of servers that tends to cause technical issues.
Did they go WL after that massive player increase from the other server shutting down? I played there before the que times were awful and it was one of the better ones
If I can say, don't know how much this will be listened to, but the red dead PC rp scene is much different than the Xbox scene. There's definitely some connections you can spot in these rp servers, but in Xbox you constantly feel like you're missing era's worth of story's, split between million of mini groups, all working near the same ideas because the game doesn't give them much to work with.
Some good serious RP servers -
- RanchRP
- WildRP (Best)
- WildWestRP
- Highstakes
Atleast these are some i have experience with and like from watching others RP.
Just like with every game the majority of roleplay servers aren't great. Id recommend looking into wildrp (or ranch rp if you want a easier application process but lesser quality roleplay). I have yet to experience or watch better roleplay then what I have seen and played within WildRP. There is a decent amount of rules, but the rp quality makes it worth the time.
It’s very difficult to get in that server though
@@LR1507 that's the very reason why it's such good quality though
@@ghostyhype_btw4303 yes exactly, just pointing it out as so many people think they’ll jump straight into it and not understand why their application has been denied
@@LR1507 yeah most of the folks on there have had to submit multiple applications before they got accepted but it's a case by case thing
if it was me i would ve yelled THEY DRAGGED ME HERE ALL THE WAY FROM VALENTINE FOR THIS SHIT when they untied you
3:50 they used the Witcher card Game templates for their loot boxes lol
I had some fantastic experiences RPing on my first red dead server in its early days. But tech issues were constant. And so to were people power gaming and intersocial drama and people in staff roles abusing power. If you get past the cringey interactions, I imagine you'd just have picked up on those same experiences and eventually lost your vibe for it. Is it worth it? Depends on you as a person and what you're looking for. I Overall don't regret devoting the better part of a year to a red dead online server.
Syn county vet here played it for years, when theres more than 32 people in the same town theres issues seeing people and hearing people, that was the valentine issue, not finding anyone was likely being instanced untill he crashed and came back, blackwater valentine rhoades all tend to be busy, , the standing npcs are dead from somebody elses mission and havent despawned yet, the server is a lot of fun but in my opinion the RP and characters have become more shallow since they removed the 10 person gang limit, definitely think you should give it another shot, when the server is populated
Also try ranch RP if your trying to have slower serious RP
The server sucks
GTA and RDR Rolepalyers need to be studied. There's something serioulsy wrong with them.
3:50 Fucking gwent cards wtf
Yes, its an IC custom made version of gwent using iconic personalities and characters of long time players in the server and other server aspects
Never played RedM, I’ve had my fair share of Console Roleplay and it is BORING or maybe I’m just worn out. Makes the Trader role look fun in a way. I’d recommend taking a look into it, I’m not gonna name a server only because I don’t wanna promote anything, but from the looks of it you’d have a lot more fun their than on RedM. The only cons that come up to mind is most servers are unorganized, dead or have terrible staff. Then in-sessions just beware of griefers and hope that one of the people you ride pass or find in towns are players in the server. But honestly with how dead Red Dead Online its self is, it shouldn’t be a struggle. Depending on the server and its staff you could put no effort in your setup.
I suggest Wild RP. People there are GOOD roleplayers. Vertiigo is proof
I have no understanding what’s not translating between fun, goofy, light hearted gta rp and, this…
It's difficult to find a balance between immersion.creativity of everyone trying to be original and trolls.
I've been playing RedM since 2021 when it was in it'd infancy and I'll say this before when you needed the full game to play RedM the RP was for the most part super immersive and quite good especially compared to FiveM but around the summer of 2022 when they made it just need red dead online the quality of RP has gone down every passing day until now where it is full of corny gangs dressed like they are in FiveM and super cops who can't shoot worth a damn usually admins that go on power trips anytime they lose a gunfight.
I have the same issue with the voice chat and I usually fix it by turning voice chat off and then on.
u gained a sub this is so underrated
Thank you!
I've played on a sever called ranch which is a white listed server, the community most part isnt very toxic. Very rp heavy the only down side is if you piss off the wrong admin, they can litterly ban you for some reasn they come up with and call it their golden rule.
nice vid. got my sub
we have a mute friend that RPs all the in fiveM we get her on one day on redM on forgotten trails and they ban her for under age and for being medically mute. "All admins and mods have the right to make ANY decisions on the server"
You must be 18+ to be able to play and also have a mic to voice (set on Push to talk) and speak english on the server.
this is the rule they are talking about it says be able to dose not say mandatory.
I didn't know there was such a thing as Red Dead Roleplay.
Huge respect to the david Brent cut, hes the funniest
I think it's alright to try a game for 1 to 3 hours not every people out there have the interest to keep playing for 10 or 20 hours because why wait so long to find the fun in a game to get in to the action and fun for you do you and I appreciate your honesty in the video I do find enjoyment in red dead I have never tired any role play games but I find it sad that Rockstar abandon red dead because it's looks so good graphics wise and game play is alright it has so much untouched potential that can really be added but they don't that's sad to see
The concept of FiveM and RedM roleplay was really good, but now it feels more like a gamemode, with everything being organized in Discord servers filled with too many kids. RP is dead. If you're truly into roleplay and have also roleplayed in Arma, you simply won't find the same experience with any of these games anymore. Almost nothing, except for Dungeons & Dragons, offers roleplay that is genuinely good.
If I would want to be powerfisted by some random middle age bald dude I would just go back with my parents lol
What's wrong with middle age boy?
You only get there if you are lucky remember that.
@@BoominGame yeah, but still we both know that 90% of that roleplay are just regular dudes who are just playing like an idiot for the sake of mad at people with a reason, i dont think its due to its age but i dont think young people would roleplay on rdr online at all (gta exists)
The only reason that bank heist was going so well is probably because the two parties were OOC friends so they were going through the motions and having fun with it. Any other time on these so-called RP servers, it escalates into a shitstorm and people end up getting banned.
Been awhile from when this was posted, but I’ll toss in my two cents here I guess?
Red Dead RP basically died a year or so ago. After RDR2 got RedM there was a lot of really cool RP servers people made, but sadly they all kind of fractured and died.
The heist at the bank you encountered is pretty common stuff and you aren’t going to have the shoot outs and escapes of the old days. It all kind of fell apart.
There are a few good ones, but like you said you gotta put a lot of time in them. Wild RP was good one, but I haven’t been there in a long ass time.
The jump in and shoot cops or robbers style of RP that ARMA did is pretty much a thing of the past and you aren’t gonna get that out of the newer RP stuff.
I feel bad for the admins of these servers, so much of it is managing personalities and the multiple ideas of what good RP is among the trash that the RP itself basically dies.
I wish you luck on finding what’s good for you!
The skip to the piano had me dying 😂😂😂
You could have a look at FiveM. At least there you have option of whitelisted and public servers. But it can still be a bit aids at times, far better than RedM though.
7:00 was absolutely beautiful
The voice issue is due to too many people being in the area, it's a red dead issue not a redm issue
I love how polite the woman was
It’s a small thing but that funny song about subscribing was so random it actually made me laugh. Take that sub bro you earned it 😂
Please do rainbow six and fallout 🙏

You couldnt hear the other players because its one big clique and they talk on discord and purposley alienate and haze new players
I play red dead roleplay and I’m in a gang it’s actually pretty fun tbf
I used to play on Syn County about a year ago (before they removed the whitelist) and I loved it. There were things that were frustrating, like how robbing people was op and getting robbed left you feeling frustrated with limited ways to get your stuff back or retaliate but finding a gang or group of people helped a lot. I can say that most of the people on there were great role players and cultivated rich stories that I still think of fondly today.
Shout out to the McGavins! No group on the server was perfect but yall were so welcoming and helpful, riding out to back me up or helping guide me when I needed help.
-Mabel Bee (the horse trainer/doctor and her husband Seabass the Blackwater Fisherman)
I’ll also say that there were so many different things for your character to do, it made it easy to diversify. I did many things, like bird training, horse training, bounty hunting, I wrote a book about bird training, befriended two stunt brothers, a time traveling schemer and his gang, had a whole arc with a serial killer, sold pies under the table to different gangs, went on police raid ride alongs, and was a doctor. Each thing was so much fun! Being silly made it so much fun. Shout out to the guy who lost his legs getting run over by a horse and joyously appreciated the donkey legs swapped his real legs out for from a dead donkey nearby. It ended up becoming a key part of his character.
When you find a server with people who appreciate it and want to rp for the sake of rping, it can be so damn enjoyable.
hey , guy here that has 5500 hours on syn county, you should try it but alot of shitlords

Arma Rp was always goated when i watched on youtube the only problems from rp ive ever seen have came from Gta and red dead.
RDR2 RP has the potential to be amazing, but from my experience, unless you get REALLY lucky with the RP server, it's pretty bad and boring. I prefer DayZ for Roleplaying over other games, had a RP 3 days ago where me and like 8 other players tracked down a group that killed one of our own, and then we killed them off one by one until we got to the last guy, where we gave him 2 choices. Join us, or Die.
Guess what? Our group got a little bigger that day.
