If you're looking for a true roleplay experience, this site falls short in almost every area. Imagine a mid-2000s Myspace but with a far more dramatic twist. The platform seems to attract people who are more interested in gathering friends and collecting attention than actually engaging in meaningful interactions. Profiles here are often constructed with similar names and images of actors or actresses, used in an overtly provocative manner to gain attention. Sadly, the majority of users rarely participate in roleplay at all.
Instead of fostering genuine connections or creative exchanges, the site is dominated by users who either abandon their accounts within a week or become fixtures of drama in the status stream. These individuals often promise to respond to messages or start roleplays but are notorious for ignoring or ghosting other members. If you call them out, the excuses fly: "I was sick," "I've been dealing with personal issues," yet they will still manage to respond to every non-roleplay message with lightning speed. It's frustrating and feels like dealing with a bunch of children in an online sandbox.
When it comes to roleplaying itself, be prepared for a frustrating experience. Despite the site's supposed Christian theme, it's far from family-friendly. Many users seem more interested in writing out their bizarre fetishes and smutty fantasies than engaging in actual storytelling. The writing quality is, for the most part, underwhelming. A lot of people on here seem to lack the creativity or effort to maintain a compelling roleplay, making it feel more like an endless cycle of disappointment.
Lastly, there's a disturbing trend with some users—particularly males pretending to be females—though I can't prove this for certain. There's a strange consistency to the profiles, all constructed in similar formats with a heavy focus on sexual content. So, be cautious about who you interact with and be aware that deception is rampant on this platform. It seems that some users are more focused on fulfilling their own strange fantasies than on creating a genuine, enjoyable roleplay environment.
All in all, if you're looking for quality roleplay or meaningful interactions, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. The site's focus on attention-grabbing behavior, lack of genuine engagement, and overwhelming amount of smut-filled content make it a disappointing and unreliable place for anyone serious about roleplaying.
Welcome to Roleplayer.me, where finding a serious roleplay is about as likely as spotting a unicorn doing the cha-cha. If you came here expecting an epic saga of swords and sorcery, you might want to lower your expectations and grab some popcorn instead. This site is like a reality show gone wild, where roleplaying often takes a backseat to virtual shenanigans. It's a place where everyone stars in their own unscripted sitcom, and the plot twists are as random as a cat meme.
Navigating Roleplayer.me is like entering a parallel universe where adults regress into children seeking constant attention—perhaps because they can't get any in the real world. Trust me, I've played both male and female characters here, so I've seen the madness from all angles. The male profiles often resemble a gathering of awkward, hormonal teenagers, trying to woo with cringe-worthy pickup lines. They treat roleplay like a poorly scripted rom-com, prioritizing smut over substance, which gets old fast.
Switching gears to the female community, it's like stepping into a high-stakes popularity contest. The quest for collecting friends resembles a digital Pokémon hunt—gotta catch 'em all, even if you can't handle the social overload. Profiles flaunt pictures of actresses and athletes, their looks more curated than a museum exhibit. Some change their profile pictures ten times a day, desperately chasing that dopamine hit from likes and comments. It's like a virtual makeover show where the goal is to attract attention, not to engage in meaningful roleplay.
The drama spills over into streams and status updates reminiscent of a 2006 MySpace time capsule. Comments like "Why does no one want to talk to me? Am I that awful?" reveal insecurities that transform the site into a soap opera instead of a roleplaying paradise. You'll often encounter recurring issues in people's lives that they share publicly, like "I'm at the ER." It's difficult to determine the truth of these claims, and while they might be genuine, they often seem like attempts to garner attention. Even if they are true, sharing such personal matters on a roleplaying site is inappropriate. All you have to do is let people know you're having difficulties in your personal life and move on. This platform is not Facebook; it's important to keep your personal details separate from your roleplaying account. Roleplayer.me feels more like Facebook in disguise, complete with real-life drama and nostalgic layouts that take you back to the days of dial-up internet.
Continuing on, I'm convinced that this site is flooded with the same users creating new profiles every day. The similarities in behavior, communication, and interaction—or lack thereof—are too coincidental to be genuine. I've come across five profiles with the same character, details, and layout, all clearly made by the same user. It leaves me questioning the purpose behind this. It seems that some people spend all their time here, endlessly creating identical profiles to fulfill their need for attention.
As the title suggests, roleplay here takes the backseat—perhaps even the trunk—while drama and desertion ride shotgun. Getting a roleplay to last on this site is like trying to keep a sandcastle intact during high tide. Accounts vanish into the digital ether faster than you can say "epic storyline," leaving you wondering if they were ever there in the first place. New users might respond to your initial greeting, giving you a glimmer of hope, only to disappear like a magician's rabbit within a week.
I've had the rare delight of meeting a few dedicated writers, but finding them is like searching for a needle in a haystack—while blindfolded. These rare gems of commitment are overshadowed by the masses who seem to treat their accounts like New Year's resolutions: abandoned by February. People here are masters of the vanishing act, often leaving you hanging without a word of explanation. It's not uncommon to feel ignored when messages go unanswered for months, leaving you to wonder if your virtual pen pal has embarked on a digital pilgrimage or just lost interest.
In the world of Roleplayer.me, patience and persistence are key, but a sense of humor helps too. So, if you're up for the challenge of navigating this chaotic landscape, just remember: every now and then, you might find a fellow roleplayer who sticks around long enough to create something truly memorable. However, you lose more time than anything else on this site, so it's not even worth being on if you're only going to have a few decent roleplays out of the thousands who are on here.
How does a site like this even exist? No one on here actually roleplays, so don't let the site's name fool you. This platform is filled with people who only create profiles to accept as many friend requests as possible to feed their low self-esteem. The most you'll get from users here is a response to your greeting, but expect it to go as far as this. After discussing this with other users here, they also share the same opinion.
One behavior you'll immediately notice here is that those you speak with will act interested in roleplaying, but they only intend to lead you on so they can ignore you. This happens all the time with almost every user on here. I can't tell you how often I've discussed a roleplay with someone or sent a starter only to be met with silence. However, if you message them again later on, they will immediately respond. Coincidence? I think not. Just about everyone here is a troll and immature, who is only on to waste their time and yours.
I can't tell you how many new profiles I see created, only to be abandoned within a week or two. What's hilarious is these new profiles do nothing and don't even interact which should show how bored these people must be when they have to sit around creating roleplay profiles. Also, please pay attention to the profiles because chances are, they are the same person running those new accounts. I have seen on many occasions people who claim they are jumping between accounts, so be aware that every profile on here is probably a person with 20 accounts that they log into. That's why you'll end up seeing a plethora of shapes portraying Selena Gomez because here, she seems to be the most attention-grabbing figure. Sadly, there can't be any unique characters to roleplay with, but unfortunately, users here prioritize using sexualized images of their characters to get you to notice them. That's mainly because this is a smut site where just about every male user here has no intention of writing a story but instead wants to treat every female like a sex object.
I wish I could speak more on the roleplaying aspect of things, but it's nearly impossible to get a roleplay started here. From what I have experienced, all I can say is don't expect much. As previously stated, it's nothing more than guys with strange fetishes wanting smut or females who flirt and then ignore you. From the little writing I have seen here, it's pretty pathetic. Not to say there aren't good writers on here; I have seen quite a few, but unfortunately they are rarely active. The rest are terrible writers who want to be lazy, stick with one-liners, and need punctuation.
I'll end my review by saying don't join this site because it's a waste of time. People here don't want to roleplay. They don't want to interact. Their only intention is to be lazy, immature, and inconsiderate trolls, so stay away.
I've been off and on with this site for years, but the site always stays the same. While I agree with all the reviews below, I will focus more on this site's roleplaying aspect. In simple terms, it's a site meant for roleplaying, but good luck finding one. You'll be met with pages filled with similar playbys like Selena Gomez, Nina Dobrev, or even a wrestler and model in very suggestive clothing. At this point, low self-esteem shows throughout this site with its common trend of people playing beautiful Hollywood actresses or models with perfect bodies. They don't want to roleplay; they want to gather a following to garner attention. Clearly, there are folk who live on this site just churning out profiles like mass production. It's evident when all the profiles are structured the same way or have the same name font, almost like they are in a clan. I've even encountered others claiming they have multiple accounts. So be aware that new users on this site are likely individuals you've met before.
As previously mentioned, this place isn't about roleplaying. It's where users create a profile and devote all their time to customizing it as if trying to win a contest for best profile editing. This is hysterical because it's always guaranteed that people will abandon their accounts within a week, if not less. Meanwhile, if you're lucky enough to interact with anyone, you might get a response from your introduction message, but it's rare if conversation exceeds this. If brought to their attention, they will become defensive and claim they are "Busy" or have "Lives" as an excuse for their lack of responding, yet they constantly post and interact with certain friends in the comments section on their wall. I understand roleplaying is a hobby, and life happens, but what's the point of even being on the site if you're telling people they might have to wait two weeks for a response? It's not a hobby if you only do it once every two weeks. I have a job and life, but I still find time to get responses. It's an excuse to disguise their unwillingness to roleplay. They don't take it seriously, and they only jump on to banter with their certain friends that they consider "worthy" when they can.
Another common theme on this site is having your friend request rejected. You'll always get denied if your character isn't a model with an eight-pack or a favorite ship among that person's verse. Even those encouraging characters unrelated to their verse still get turned down. I understand having a preference, but at least elaborate on that preference. Everyone on this site is extremely picky and only desires smut or some bizarre fetish. One user asked me if they could send me a starter. I said I wanted to discuss a plot before jumping into a roleplay. She instantly blocked me for making a harmless suggestion.
If you're fortunate enough to engage in a roleplay, be prepared for disappointment. Writers here roleplay like they are in grade school. They may be. Who knows. Or it could be adults who decided never to grow up and take an English class. For example, not only do the roleplays consist of one-liners that aren't engaging, but you might receive a paragraph that lacks detail and is nothing more than a complete run-on sentence. When I read some of these roleplays, I remember how painful it must have felt for my English teacher to read my writing back when I was a child. Ultimately, If you want to join a site and feel like you're stepping back into grade school where you find groups of people getting together so they can bull$#*!, act immature, and stir up drama, then Roleplayer.me is for you.
On to the important stuff now. This site is garbage, worse than roleplay.me but not by much. The ads are purposely made so numerous just so you can pay 3 dollars for premium to get them removed. If not the lag on this site is insane. Why I would EVER give my debit info to a website that has a connection that STILL isn't secure (good job updating and maintaining the site) is beyond me. If you do not join an rpg you will just constantly run into storylines that fizzle out. Otherwise you apparently need an rpg/clique on here to function. Children DO dominate this website, see? The adults here are typically far from mature so kids should have no problem fitting in anyway. If you want to engage in pedophilia and beastiality this is the site to be on. Those nasty looking accounts keep getting churned out nonstop via profile pictures of a single dog or a girl younger than 12 looking all suggestive, etc. Kinda obvious what these people who need to get shot are aiming for. I would suggest they change the name of this site to plentyofdeadfish.com because that's what the comprehension, interaction and energy levels on here are like. Please. Stay AWAY. I would highly recommend Twitter or writing on a looseleaf paper at home other than this weirdly delusional stuck up site. If you cant tell the difference between RP and reality and you want to further run the art of writing into the ground while making fake online friends when you can just go on socialcrave you will be welcomed with open arms on here. POINTLESS FOR REAL WRITERS. YOUR WORK WILL NOT BE APPRECIATED/CARED FOR IF IT DOESN'T FIT THE PC CROWD'S IDEALS. MOVE. ON.
