As for Rigwyn, I've been letting him loose in real life just a bit. Not the nasty, murderous part of the character, but the anti-religious grouch who likes to dabble with the occult and shatter taboos. Perhaps one day I'll find myself with lots of time on my hands  and stick him back into the game. For now, it's fair to assume that the character has gone into reclusion and is festering with resentment as he makes preparations for something terrible.

Come back. You'll love playing with Mishka's daughter. She's not as vicious as Mishka, though.

Bumping for great justice, because people need to start the hype.

GM told me to stop jumping on top of the laanx statue in hydlaa cause "it could break someones immersion and ruin RP"

...That happened to me, too. xD

Sarva used to be specially insistant with this, did it to me when I was jumping from roof to roof in Hydlaa. I've found mountless parkour is much more enjoyable, though.

I'm going to say it again here: PS's unofficial motto is "be the change you want to see" which means that if something's missing, step in and fill it out, if you can. If you think you can put together a few pointers, and the GMs agree with it, feel free to put it wherver you feel is more adequate.

One idea, as I see it, would be to put a few pointers regarding general character information near Abelia (sic?), another near the blacksmith lady regarding production trades, another near Ibhaar with pointers on what to become in terms of fighting (or lack of it thereof), some small guidelines about roleplaying a mage near the Dermorian witch, and then at the end by the Nolthrir girl some more advanced pointers, like the emotes and the /me, /my and /mypet commands, and a quick explanation about guilds, without making publicity. If the GMs agree.

The problem is: I've seen people harass the hell out of someone, just because they missed one simple smiley, people who were actually trying to roleplay and ended up getting their proverbial ass handed back to them just by a simple mistake, and these guys can get out of it with virtually nothing said to or against them. Just yesterday I had to ask them to talk English in Main, and couldn't but give up when they wouldn't heed any warning or advice. I'm trying to grow a thicker skin like people like Gonger have, and become more patient, but even when I see him lose his cool it's kind of hard not to get frustrated and grit your teeth when you see these things.

Recently one of them robbed the hospital clean. Even if it's against the GM's rulings to air such things, I have no qualms in letting everyone know about this deed, motivated by a blatant disrespect towards the rule and a feeling of vengeance and pettiness. They abuse mechanics, do OOC actions and think that justifying them ICly will let them get away with it easily, just a slap of the wrist.

It says so on the server's MOTD: if you don't roleplay, don't bother. Keep it to private channels, and don't disturb the roleplayers - not only because it's a punishable offense to disturb roleplay, but also because this is a roleplaying game. You all know that I'm trying to change, but people like this group really need to start respecting these rules, or I'm going to start getting vicious again, and I'll regret it because I'll lash out on someone that won't deserve it. And while I don't condone public lynchings and harassing of players, I don't think I'm really paying much heed to what certain people say... Maybe someone will make someone else cry and leave. I don't know.

That or roll a "town crier" or "messenger". Sometimes IC word of mouth and gossip works well.

Now that's an idea for a character. Come back in game and play it.

This is both a complaint to the GM team and a request to the playerbase.

The Hydlaa billboard has become really cluttered. Sure, people rarely use books now, and prefer to use maps/parchments because they look prettier, and they can be adorned and whatnot. I'm thinking that maybe they are even less resource intensive, I don't know.

Still, I'm asking the GM team to please tidy up the billboards if it's possible, and while I'm at it I'll suggest to you other players that, to allow GMs to know for how long has an advert there, you put, in brackets, the date when you posted it. That way it can be monitored better, and removed if there hasn't been any activity or confirmation by that player that they still want it there.

Snark/burns and memes don't mean being an ass! You can be playful and educate while burning someone...
