I'd really like to occasionally, but most people who have RP flagged on do it because your name changes to a lighter shade, and use it to feel superior to all the normal name colored people. And they have no interest in RP. :\

I've only RPed on forums and IRC, but I assume it works in generally the same way.
RP is essentially where you play out your character as if she/he is a real person in the game. It's all for fun, it's sorta like writing a story, but you're more actively engaged in it. There's a guide someone made for Lotro RP; Here

I've always wondered about that, it makes it all confusing, seems when I go out to the moors, everyone has RP on.
Perhaps Turbine could make it so you can have your name colored via a silly amount of tp, it would clear up the confusion with who is RP and who is not, but the colors would get annoying

i like to rp in my head, so sometimes ill set myself an epic journey from thorins halls to rivendell and come up with some reason to be doing so, and then have some side adventures on the way- you know , sort of like the books, so kills a few wolves in the old forest, help some lower levels escape the barrows..........if you see me, talk in rp, and ill join in
If you guys want to see what real RPing is all about just go the prancing pony in landroval server and ask the girl who pretends to be a waitress for some beer and just sit down and enjoy the showXD

Real RP doesn't require you to go to any other server as much as find the right people.
Me and two kinnies made a trip on foot from Thorin's Hall to Mirkwood (took roughly 4 hours after some exploring was thrown in) and we had some good RP interactions from random people we met, was a lot of fun.
sounds like a lot of fun! im gonna RP when i log on later now :P are there certain areas where ppl meet to do this?
There is no specific area, but Bree is your best bet. Although finding a role player on Dwarrow is finding a needle in a haystack. But look around Bree for someone with a white name, if you see someone with a white name it means they are role playing.

If you want to RP, talk to Skytzogloin, he is probably the biggest RPer of all level 75s I know on the server he is also the leader of the only real RP kin, you can ask to join.
