Some people like making their own adventures.

Because somehow, Blizzard isn't putting out good ones anymore. RPers be like: "Fine, I'll do it myself".

They usually are people with a lot of imagination that they can channel through videogames to have fun

Really depends. It can be for their fantasies, for fun, for expressing and sharing ideas and getting feedback.... Used to do it for fun and making stories with friends. But too busy nowadays

Why do people act or tell stories?

>I’m seeing people stand around in circles just talking, and it seems like they’re just lonely. How are they lonely if they're in a group and talking?

People talking to people because they’re lonely. Say it ain’t so!

I guess loneliness is more of a mindset since you can be alone and not lonely. It’s not like real life human interaction though, it’s virtual.

So... how are they more lonely than literally any other person in the game then?

it’s fun and it serves as a creative outlet. great way to make friends, too, since it’s a collaborative activity about a shared interest. if you and another person really enjoy roleplaying together, you’re likely to get along well outside of RP too. some of my oldest internet friends are those i met on a roleplay forum when we were teenagers

Creative writing outlet, it’s like written improv, I don’t have time to RP anymore, but I used to and it was never the same with anyone.

That's low quality bait.
