Well, we don't go on raids IC to interact socially, we go to plunder, pillage and kill. Nobody has ever offered themselves to me as a captive. If you wanted some RP with an Orc, come to Orc lands, get captured and watch what goes on. But most people don't have the time or patience, Orcs included. People want to login, get some pvp and logout. The idea of "RP" at the minute seems to be that and attending a market/tavern once a month.

As for languages. I, personally, loved black speech. But I did try to 'dumb it down' as much as possible for new members, to the point where the only black speech they had to know was I, You, Is/Am, Hi/Bye, 'Leader', Human, Orc, Kill, Follow and type English although speaking from the throat, but even then they just said "too hard" and quit anyway, so it was basically just key/veteran members playing and we just spoke to each other in black speech. Having our own language was a big part of who Tolagal was. If we were running down the road going "halt, thou art on orc lands, human!" it wouldn't have been quite so... interesting or fun.
