Have been taking advantage of the 10 day trail and as yet I'm seriously
unimpressed. I choose a role playing server but in the few hours I've
played so far role playing is a about zero. I've had lot's of little
quests to kill x number of creatures to get y things or delivery x to y
but that's it! So come on that most be more to it than this.

It's hard to roleplay in a game with no history. Even in LotRO where
there is a rich backstory, most players don't bother roleplaying.

Actually there is a ton of backstory, most of it incredibly convoluted.
Wowwiki can give you pointers.

A brief summary might be that everyone is always at war, and when the
good guys are not at war with evil invaders from another dimension or
planet, or even when they are, their leader turns evil and becomes the
next threat to all life on Azeroth :-)

Uh huh.
