As @stelagel says, buying the dlcs all together can result in having so much stuff that you won’t get round to trying it. And, as @TeleTesselator says, playing the base game to be sure you enjoy it before adding the dlcs can be a good way to go.

However - you also note that you are interested in an RP server - which suggests that the dlcs may be of extra interest to you. I’m not sure how much you know about each one - each dlc (except The Riddle of Steel) comes with a set of building pieces (equivalent to the base game tier 3, but more attractive) and placeables, plus three armor sets (light, medium and heavy) and a bunch of weapons. The base game versions of the weapons are cheap but weak, but the endgame (epic) versions of the weapons are equivalent to the base game star-metal (endgame) versions of the same weapons. The armor is the only part of each dlc that has much game impact (everything else is essentially cosmetic) - while each set of armor is on a power level equivalent to base game armors (with base and epic versions of each available), they all provide bonuses to different stats, so the dlcs make it easier to have more variety within that (though there are base game armors that can be learned to gain the same stat bonuses).

Essentially, it comes down to how much you will enjoy the cosmetic element - as someone looking for an RP server, I figure that may appeal to you. I’ve certainly enjoyed having all the dlcs (bought as soon as I’d played enough to be happy that I wanted to continue for a while) - they are by no means essential, and can certainly be picked up one at a time as you play (you may well enjoy each one more that way), but I’d say there’s also no harm in getting the bundle if you’re sure you want to continue playing.

If you want more actual details on what’s in each dlc, there are several videos on youtube that go through this - I’ll try to find an earlier post that had some links and link it below in an edit.

I hope that helps 🙂

Edit: here’s the promised link 🙂 - I think these videos don’t cover the Isle of Siptah dlc (which has 3 armor sets, and two full build sets (one tier 1 and one tier 3), plus the full map itself and all that can be accessed there. But they should cover everything else 🙂
