> What else have people tried?

RP based rewards - a system of benefits that cannot be gained by
kill/exp.

  Extra lengths to plan - non RP points people are limited to 5 lines.

  Typo message - not really in game, but the point is to have
  niceties you can *only* get from RP.

  Coloring named guild items - all Paladins can name their shields,
  but with RP points you can color the name too.

  Inform message upon entering game - an IC message, such as Clouds
  gather and lightning streaks down from the sky as Boffo the Demon
  appears from the netherrealms!

  Different speaking verbs - most often used as adverbs really: says
  grumpily, 'blah'. Though also used as entirely new verbs: a
  character who is loud, always, 'booms 'Blah!''.

  Spell named after you: instead of acid arrow, Boffo's acid
  arrow. The spell must already exist.

  Ability to spread rumors - certain npc types repeat player-spread,
  and wizard/area generated, rumors.

  Access to rp-only channels - of course this has to fit in with the
  theme of the game.

  Extra apprentices - 0 RP points = 5 apprentices. The maximum
  number of apprentices goes up with RP points.
