All you have to do is imagine what is around you in-game is real.

That about sums it up.

I hope the non-RPers can at least respect us and the shard enough to at least put up with others' RPing.

*edit*

And you don't even have to "RP" a phone call. As long as you respect RolePlaying enough to note that you are talking out of character, using brackets, I can respect you also. Basically, like if you are in public and you have a phone call, you could just say [Hey, brb, phone]. But basically, like Valas said, just try to pretend you are in the world of UO, and not just playing a game. If you simply cannot bring yourself to do that, then at least respect those that can.
