“Roleplay in Mount & Blade had its ups and downs,” says Flavberg.

Over time, the experience (and number of servers) grew along with the first Mount & Blade’s incredibly dedicated modding community and playerbase, resulting in mods like the famous Persistent Worlds, and the occasionally still-active Napoleonic Wars roleplay server. Initial features included emotes, inventories, personal horses, an economy, and crafting. Flavberg credits the start of all this to players ‘Blueberry of Swadia’ and ‘Gulos’, who created “the first serious, working server”. Put simply, Mount & Blade Roleplay is dozens - sometimes hundreds - of players and modders telling months-long collaborative stories of war, diplomacy, and medieval life, in persistent servers hosted in the infrastructure of Mount & Blade. There is no limit to people's imagination.” "They can start preaching the word of God, help and feed the poor, or they can become corrupt and demand indulgences from criminals. “If a player decides they want to play a priest character, they can write up a character sheet for this character, go on the server, and speak to the local church to join their parish," says Flavburg, giving an example. Enraptured by the possibility of meeting new and interesting people to stab, I strapped on my platemail and saddled up until my wanderings led me to the Bannerlord Roleplay project, and its director, 'Flavberg'.
But recently, I’ve been wanting a bit more from the experience. I’ve besieged castles, sired heirs, and sniped horses.
