I've noticed that many people like to have some degree of role-playing in their games. I was wondering if most players who role-play just use it to make their messages more interesting or if they try and maintain a consistent character.

I think there is one more aspect. Role-playing gives less personal attitude to the game. It's like an actor who plays a character. If some one attacks me in the game if fact he/she attacks the race/leader I play, not me personally. At least that how it should be.
When I try to play multi-player game for the first time some 5 years ago, I made this mistake and took it too personally I did not role-played and I got attacked very quickly. And I remember very well my disappointment and anger. But it is only a game after all and it is played for fun. It took me sometime to understand it.
Nevertheless, even if you realize that someone attacks the race you play (not you personally), it could be somewhat depressive (especially for newbies I guess). . And role-playing could help to live with that, I think.
As I am a newbie (I was divorced with Stars! after this first fatal attempt until recently) I am curious about more experienced players' opinion on that.

Indeed, I agree with OOMatter that role-playing makes the game and diplomacy more interesting, too. The above is just one of the aspect why I like the role-playing.
