my question is, i just recently started to play lotro and noticed some sign with server name, for example (rp) and server name, what does it mean? btw do u know what server is the most crowded in lotro (im using free2play client i think so)

RP means 'roleplay', which means it's a roleplaying server. Not that the majority of players actually do roleplay. Most just treat it as a normal server and the poor roleplayers have to put up with all kinds of junk from them. Some even join a roleplay server just to make fun of roleplayers, which is pretty pathetic.

I'm hoping TOR will have rp servers. I haven't roleplayed in years, I wouldn't mind getting back into it if I can get the right game with the right guild.

but the rp server will be normal played as the other ones? like doing quests, pvpin ,raidin and stuff like that?

Yes, the only difference will be the players themselves and how they like to play. Even then those will be a minority on even an rp server. I'm not sure how they handle pvp, so I can't really answer that aspect. I don't know if this game has specific pvp servers or not.

gonna try server laurelin in the game lotro, it says to be most popular rp server

Roleplay (and I'm sure I will be posting alot in this section) is almost a forgotten term in MMO's. Most servers you find that are RP like some of the other posters said are really just encouraged roleplay and not enforced at all.
