Roleplaying Servers QuestionFollow

That is exactly what people who "RP" do. That amounts to nothing but talking down to people in between fights and walking around town instead of running everywhere. Outside of a group I hardly ever speak to people because people have a habit of ignoring others in this game so I stopped trying. I have yet to group as a character from a good city, but I'll see how that works when I get to that point.

I have an iksar on LD. He hates all non iksar and iksar who don't think like he does. He hates all the iksar for not leaving FP and making their own village or die trying. He was shipwrecked trying to get from Visk to Kunark.

Now, I'm forced to live in a human city, buy from soft skin merchants, let erudites call me stupid all day and just take it, and if I don't compremise and group with soft skins I would never be able to get anything done. RPing is no feasable. If I did RP I'd be out in the commonlands with no armor, no weapon, no money, no food, no nothing. Lvl 6 forever. Actually, if it were possible I would have killed everyone on the Far Journey and turned the ship back toward Faydwer or Kunark.

So basically, I'm forced to be what I hate. If I could make my own armor, food, and weapons without a crafting center and lvl with having to do so quests, then maybe I could RP. But MMORPG's are not designed for RPing. That's why they have "RP preferred" servers instead of "RP enforced". Wouldn't be nice to have RP **** GM's running around:)

So, what does roleplay come down to? Me letting group members know I hate them at every opportunity. Talking about how the Sebelisian empire conquered Faydwer and other unprovable dogma. I can only go so far because there are people on the other side who are more than likely crybaby sissies so I can't even SAY all the things an iksar might say. Do I consider that RP? Not really. I can't really DO or SAY anything an iksar would DO or SAY. The same goes for trolls, ogres, barabians, etc. Real RPing requires PvP, the ability to at least beat up any NPC, the ability to be a loner at any lvl, etc., and 100% of the server population to be mature and on the same page. I don;t want to have to tell people I'm roleplaying. If you think I'm an ***.. good. Hate me. That's the point. But people are crybabies. They come to RP servers and get mad at you for RPing. It's ridiculous.

Typical notions of RPing: Yes

Real RPing: No

I am the Lord of Facts. Whatever I say is FACT!!!

That means my word.... IS THE LAW!!!!!

Up is down and down is up!!! But both are turned sideways!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Ha! What's funny is that I'm xGraemex. I named it after my first EQ2 character, without thinking of the long term ramifications of a user name. :/ Now I wish I could have gone with something else. But I was in a hurry to get to the playing.

Nah. I deleted that guy a long time ago. I thought I'd try something different, and was going with a male human crusader. I hated it, and him, and so while I'm stuck with the name, I've long since moved on character-wise.
