I don't mean that RPG lol, I mean the word RPG related to the server

As SA-MP servers are concerned:
RPG servers - Servers where have any sort of leveling, stats or stuff that makes it look like an RPG game, they are only slightly related to real-life because San Andreas is "slightly" based on real life. You don't actually play any roles.

RP servers - I guess you know what this one is.. Oh and you do play roles on this one.

It doesn't matter if IM has RP or RPG in the name, it's a RP server. RPG servers are like CrazyBobs and shit like that.

You play roles in both. In fact, you play roles better in RPG, but in RP you're supposed to act realistically as well.

I wish people would understand that RP is about playing your character. Most people think great RP is describing everything you do and using fancy words. All the /me shit annoys the fuck out of me. I wanna see your guy speak and have his opinion and emotions. Start talking!!!!

roleplay gaming , light rp servers

[GreenLantern]

A role-playing game (RPG and sometimes roleplaying game) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of structured decision-making or character development. Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.

There are several forms of RPG. The original form, sometimes called the tabletop RPG, is conducted through discussion, whereas in live action role-playing games (LARP) players physically perform their characters' actions. In both of these forms, an arranger called a game master (GM) usually decides on the rules and setting to be used and acts as referee, while each of the other players plays the role of a single character.

I was talking "As SA-MP servers are concerned", any RPG server you join on the SA-MP server list is not a roleplay server like IM, not light-RP, not medium-RP, not expresso-RP with a spoon of sugar, it's spawning with a deagle and making money with mini-games/killing.
This whole discussion of IM being RP/RPG is useless, it's a RP server, this is what a RPG server looks like:

Or CrazyBobs cops'n'robbers, also an RPG server, no OOC, no Metagame, no Powergame, no "NO-RPADMANHALP", no helpers, nothing of that sorts - that is an RPG server on San Andreas Multiplayer

It's like you guys never played other servers on SA-MP besides IM.
The reason for all this confusion is because at the dawn of SA-MP there was a gamemode/server called PEN1 which was not RP, but it was an RPG server, some guys decided to change it up and make it more realistic - giving birth to what is now the genre of RP
