Thats a difficult question to answer but I will do my best.
Settings wise an RP server would be similar to an official PvE-C server with a few differences. For example on my server LDoD was turned of unless a clan declared war on another. Raids were only on the weekends during peak play time and lasted two hrs, raiders were allowed to only take what they found in the base and body vaulting was a bannable offense.
The focus of an RP server should be the story of the characters in it. Not wonton PvP or constant grinding. Trade, political intrigue, and character development through hardship or religious enlightenment. That is what makes RP fun and exciting.
