Confusion setting in.

Well there is a thing as too much imagination when the pieces do not fit together.

Everything can come together if you add a little more imagination.  Like I believe I have said many times before, \"anything can be roleplayed\".  That is that anything can be explained ingame using the setting and world.

It is my understanding that the Death Realm may eventually be home to many dubious and so called \"evil\" alligned fellows.  While it is unimaginable to us who do not fall under that category, I suspect that the Death Realm may fit their personality better than the land of the living.

Even if it is too imaginative, what of it? It makes the game for worth while. I personally don\'t see anything wrng with the settings, as far as I concerned, they are perfectly alright.

As for Death Realm, that\'s tricky...

I agree with you all, but to respond to the latest post made...

When things are too imaginative your character itself looses his place in the universe as you canot compare his power or lack of it to anything, except other players. Since this is a universe where anything is possible (I\'m just saying that the ultimate level of imagination is that)
Then there is no point of leveling your character cause who knows how weak you are in the end. There is no point to role-play for you shal fear the same insignificance that humans fear in real-life, which would lead to depression just as in real life. however the solution to depression in game sis to simply stop playing....
so that\'s what\'s wrong with being too imaginative.

Er, that makes no sense whatsoever.  Last I checked, it\'s an MMORPG, meaning that many people play.  Your complaints seem to have more to do with the number of players than with the environment in which they all play.

This is how all MMORPGs work - player versus player, stat versus stat, etc.  But PlaneShift is different.  The focus is not on player statistics and how high your level is compared to Greetok Humblebrog the Terrible.  It is about role-playing and meeting people.  It is about people coming together and having a good time playing a game they enjoy.

This isn\'t an \"I can kick ur a$$, lolomgz\" kind of game.  Far from it.

This last point makes it seem like you feel that PlaneShift is too realistic rather than too far-fetched.  So which is it?  Is it too fancy free or is it too true-to-life?  Make up your mind.

If that is really how you feel, then why on Earth are you still playing this game that is too outlandish and yet not competative enough for your liking?

I think you should read my post again....and again........and again. Sorry not trying to be mean, but I did post that this is in a world in which everything can be true. I did not say planeshift was this world. I was just responding to the previously posted question.
And also, I relate the game to real life in the fact that humans live in the world and play the game. Real humans to whom certain factors bring about mutual feelings no mater wether they are playing a game or lving in real life.
I don\'t understand the rest of your arguments, I have no idea how what you said relates to what I said.

What\'s the point of fighting amongst each other in planeshift. Its not a pvp game either. A role-playing game usually concentrates on PvE.
And I\'ll say again, I was not talking about planeshift before.
