Well, this is a sad time indeed. I was there at the coronation and founding of RHoP.....

I knew you once many years ago, was absent for so very long and was forgotten.

I do know that you were a much loved person, and I always had the utmost respect for you, even though I do not believe in Royalty I always did know there was something special.

I've watched from afar and grew to love the richness you brought to the land, and through it, to me.

As an old friend always used to say, "May all blessing be......"

not only that, but the wilderness looked and felt more threatening with all the teffs on the hill, and all the trepors in the fields below.

things seem partly familiar with me here too... can't really point my finger on it but my char is also a loner for some reason... and that makes me lonely

there is always us in irc

well....most of us try to not go insane, and or voyeur the rest of the populace......

I wonder if there is such a thing as a Tuxx medicated pads for server hemoroids?

yeah, bad one, only thing I could come up with...

but, truth be told, I'd definately not want klingons orbiting the pit....

......you remember being able to fly/glide to the bottom of the temple dungeon where zak is now
......you remember EVERYONE being able to glide
......the Klyros of Fury and the Guild Knights duking it out on the temple grounds almost daily
......the Brigand and Canyt being on a stage in the ruins surrounded by ulbers
......when weapon slash wasn't measured in decimals
......DUELING POINTS!!!
......The Dlayo was the only one and was much easier to kill. (yeah, I made that stupid mistake after taking a break for a while)
......"climbing" the pillar to the ceiling and gliding down to the oja entrance
...... fighting over the forest road rogue because he gave 5 pp a shot


and last and not least, the infamous "WAYBREAD"

hmmm....

while I do understand the needs for a wipe on occassion, I also don't think a wipe for wipes sake is a good idea.
The supposed RP'ers, or the Elitests some have called them, to me are a bunch of godmodders that like to RP that they are the most intelligent, the most knowledgeable, the most powerful in a certain way. Its a bunch of bunk. If you want to RP that way, go to a chatroom. The direct purpose of having leveling stats and skills is to find out what you can do with said levels. If RP is the only thing you care about, then, take away all levels, all crafting, all stats, and give us a padded cell for everyone to go crazy.

Saying one is a Blue Way master without the appropiate stats is godmodding in my opinion.
Saying one is an Avatar of Xiosia without being able to grow a plant or heal the sick is also godmodding.

What we need for you RP'ers is to set the rules of RP and then change the server to fit.
If all you want is RP, then, as I said, no levels. Period, Everyone is either maxed, or everyone is Piss Poor. Either way, its a form of Communism. IE "There are so many bugs and stat padders it makes it unfair for everyone else"
Those that want a wipe seem to all be clamoring for lack of individuality, and resetting to be able to develop a char our own way all over again is just again, another way of whining that you didn't get anything at Xiosiamas.

RP for me is an act of story telling, and being able to act it out, not just words typed on a screen, that's what chat rooms are for. Again, to be able to say something, and to actually be able to do it, are two vastly different things.

It would bother me to go back into the game, everything reset, to have some elitest RP'er come up to me asking me to bow before them because they have something in the Char description saying they are a messenger of Dakruu.

It would bother me to go into a game as a fresh hatchling just new to the world to find out there are no people to look up to, that though we are on different paths, we are still on the same level or close to it.

I bring to an example, Roled Rolak. I do not wish to speak for him, but, I cite him because he, to me, is the purest example of RP for this game, and this scenario.
He came to this world as a young Dermorian, looking up to those that had been in game longer, forging new relationships based on his quest for learning. Short story long, he formed his RP around his abilities, not just saying, I want to be high council member, so, I am going to RP it without actually having experianced it.

The whole concept of RP versus Storytelling, is Storytelling is the concept of something other than what we are or are doing, or what has happened, RP is the concept of what we can do, not what we want to do......(make sense?)


Basically put, a total wipe is bad RP, starting everyone at ground level is Bad RP, no matter what sugar or gold you put on it, underneath, its bad RP.

The other reason against a wipe, for someone like me, who all I've done is play basically a single character since his creation. Granted I have some alts I've used for storage and or RP purposes, is a kick in the teeth for my longevity and loyalty.
I'd like to have at least the option of having some amped stats or my gm only items returned to me.

If a wipe happens, will I be back......most likely, but, count on the fact I won't be talking to much of anyone because I'll be focused back on trying to get my char where I want him. Not where I imagine him to be. That's what DnD is for...... Not to mention, I won't be on that much because its no fun having to grind all over again........

actually, I think a certain mod/gm/dev whatever used their editing prowess and forged their name on the ballots.......

I saw a Guild Knight the past couple days, and, KoF is still registered, Constrabus will be back once he gets his graphics issues fixed on his Linux comp.
