In my experience virtue is like the jack of all trades server. Granted we've got an RP rep but if you look you can find a little of everything.

I received gentle encouragement for my ERP efforts so here goes.
A: Oh baby, I see that your hardware and software are soo modular....Mmmm I like that. Allows my data to be centralized and then shared across platforms.
B: *giggles* Makes my system all flexible and I can 'respond' to my customers needs faster. I also work in the back room so I can get down to business without anyone seeing.
A: Oooh. I like the way you say that. You processes are very transparent. I got a system you can respond to.
B: Oh really? Tell me more.
A: My Point of Sale data is all OVER the place. Soo messy. I need someone to help me clean it up.
B: So you want me to streamline your data?
A: Oh yeah....that sounds soo good.
B: Well first I'm gonna identify your data to be migrated. Nice and slow...so as not to make ANY mistakes.
A: Oh Go on.
B: Then we got to determine the timing of your data migration.
A: Timing is important. Don't want the data tools to 'go online' too soon.
B: No we don't. Then I'm gonna freeze the tools of the data migration so no modifications sneak in that are unaccounted for.
A: Kinky. I like it.
B: And then I'm gonna link your organization processes to the corporate strategy...
A: Oooh link my processes...link them! STREAM LINE MY DATABASE!
B: Oh yes! Yes! YES! I'm ARCHIVING! ARCH..IVING!
A: My data stream.... It's increasing! IT'S ..... FLOWING!
B: YES!
A: *smokes a cigarette*
A: *shares*
B: *smokes cigarette*
A: *logs off*
B: *wonders if A will call back about back-end tech support later*

Yes, there're RPers; they're more the majority on the forums than they are in the game, and if you're actually in a team with 'em they tend not to RP, which is both very bad and very good *hiss* at the same time. Sometimes you can get 'em started, but it's my experience that most folks can't type eloquent descriptions and dialog sequences while running in panic from an AV.
As far as elitist cliques - sure, there are people who like to play together because they find that the people they play with frequently are better (by whatever criteria) than random PUGgers. I haven't noticed a lot of animosity or contempt among them - they're seclusive rather than offensive. That's even true of the *hiss* ERP/MRP folks, who tend to form up into cliques for more obvious reasons, like.. paternity. Oh NO my man is NOT yo' baby daddy!
Bear in mind that there's no reliable way to verify someone's age in-game before you get involved in *hiss* ERP with em. Wouldn't want a visit from a federal agent to ruin your game/life/pliability.

As for age verification...When I was running the Dark Dominion, we had a "no one under 18 rule" and even kept Kichi at bay till she was of legal age :P Simply because we didn't want to have to filter things, we all cussed like you wouldn't believe OOCly and ICly, we made dirty jokes and there were instances in RP of hyper sexuality with the Vixens. It was relatively simple with my group cause we were all very close-knit and you had to BECOME close knit with us to join. We all called each other, emailed each other, bought things online together, all that jazz. So I guess it was easier for us. HOWEVER, for the random ERP bit, yeah...I can imagine that would be bad.
There's a legal question for you though...if you are ERPing with someone online and you don't know their age...and say it WAS a federal agent, kinda like "Predators Caught" thing on whatever station on TV...is that an offense? I mean, in THOSE circumstances, those individuals are FULLY aware of the person's age...
in the case of ERP if you ask someone their age, and they say 18, but are really 13, I think the legality is in your favor. Because you haven't actually DONE anything to the person yet? I mean TECHNICALLY the whole "online predators television shows" are kinda "Minority Report-esque," in that...well...they haven't technically DONE anything yet. So aren't you just poilcing thought then? Is it HORRIBLE? Yes. But if they haven't actually DONE anything, is it really illegal? I watch too much Law & Order SVU, seriously. I mean, I understand the need for it, in that it's children and you wanna protect them and all that jazz...and honestly those a**holes need be locked up anyway, but I'm talking pure law theory.
It's kinda like the question that popped into my mind about....god 6 years ago? I've yet to find a proper answer. Here's my question:
If you, at age 14 (in a State or locale the legal age of consent ISN'T 14), and your boyfriend/girlfriend, also at age 14, decide to have intercourse and record yourselves doing this...and then YEARS later, you two get married, and randomly find said tape and watch it. Are you then watching "kiddy" pr0n? Is that illegal? I mean sure, we can ask yourselves, "WHY would you want to watch your 14 year old self get busy?!" But that's not the point, I'm asking PURELY legal theory here. Anybody know? I need like dial-a-lawyer or something, cause I would love to put this one to rest.
(Yes, I spend way too much time in my own head just coming up with ridiculous circumstances and asking ridiculous questions).

Cowboy, have you rolled your main on Virtue yet (I know you mentioned in another thread that you were just waiting for i16 to go live)? If so, I have a new alt that may be looking him up: a hulking reptilian tanker/ranch hand named Western Diamondback.

Yeah I did roll him up as an elec/elec Tank and I wasn't liking it. So I rerolled him as SS/Inv Brute (opposite of the original Nuclear Cowboy) with the intentions of Going Rogue with him.

ERP lies in the same vein as a porn movie or a dirty novel, i have no idea why it would lessen your grip on reality any more than the news reporting a carbomb like it's an every day thing and then reporting a nippleslip as the end of the world. To everyone his own i say.
Not to mention that some fantasies are hard to put into RL practice - Or can you honestly say that you never ever wondered how Lois Lane and Clark Kent made love?
You know, it's really amusing.
Every once in a while, we get a thread like this. The thread is usually a question about RP, or some new player asking about guidelines for RP, or just asking about Virtue in general.
And almost in every single one of these threads, the topic usually gets steered towards MRP, ERP, and catgirls, and similar sub-genres.
What's more amusing, is that this topic usually turns into a bunch of people bashing MRP/ERP/whateverRP and then 'lol'ing at people with social insecurities.
Then there comes a bunch of people who try to explain, justify, and "defend" ERP. And by "defend" I mean they take the "to each their own" stance.
Now what is REALLY amusing and ironic, is that the same people who steer the thread towards ERP, MRP, and their derivative, are the same people who are "bashing" it, for the lack of a better term.
I guess what I'm trying to point out is...are we, as a society, really that insecure about sexuality and eroticism? And if we -are-, then why do we actively seek out to 'bring it up' just for the sake of expressing that it's "unholy"?
It's like that homophobic person who actively talks about homosexuality solely for the sake of proving that they're not a homosexual. Isn't this what people did back in...high school?
Anyways...
Regarding the original post:
1. I honestly can't say for sure that Virtue is MOSTLY dedicated to roleplayers. I've seen a fair share of non-roleplayers who have loads of fun here. But yes, we do RP. And we do love it.
2. I can't say it's FULL of elitist cliques, either. But yes, there are cliques, and there are elitist cliques; just like in every society. You just have to find your own cup of tea.
Personally, I think the best way to see if Virtue is right for you, is to just take a dive. Try it out for yourself. Every opinion you get from this thread is just that: Opinion. And opinions tend to be biased.
I've just joined Virtue as well, as a fun robot from an alternate 1920s (with more TESLA!) who was flung across time by the Tunguska event. Haven't actually found many people to RP with, but I hope it will.
