Question on rp
« on: September 06, 2004, 06:07:19 am »
How strongly is rp required for this game?  For example if you
don\'t rp can you still play?

You can play if you don\'t RP, sure. But if you\'re some kind of LukeSkywalker007 person, you wont exactly have a good time here. The game is based heavily around roleplaying, and you\'ll need to be capable of thinking like that to solve quests and the like.

Just because you\'re playing an RPG doesn\'t mean you\'re roleplaying, particularly in an MMORPG. Most people just increase their abilities and play with the game features, never roleplaying. (I\'m not like most people ;)) You can still play if you don\'t RP, I don\'t think you\'ll get as much fun out of the game that way but it\'s your desicion. There\'ll no doubt be OOC and IC channels for people that do or don\'t want to roleplay.

Don\'t expect a lot of flak, expect a lot of boredom.
RP types like myself (even those who aren\'t all that good, again like myself) tend to be relatively common because there isn\'t much you can do right now.

Still, give rp a try! You might like it. ;)

I am very interessted in roleplay. But where do you meet ingame? I always can see about 20 players online. But I can\'t follow every discussion because english is not my native language :) .

Most of the time, they\'ll be in the temple.  Of course, non-rp people will also be in the temple sometimes.  Tavern will host rp occasionally.  Feel free to ask if you\'d like to know.

Im holding back on the rp untill cb when my character will be revealed!
Roleplaying is easy to pick up on, eventually it will become normal to you and you will struggle to not rp (like me).
Do not think or act like your character... BECOME your character!

I\'ll make it simple so everyone who reads this understands it to at least some extent.

No.

There are no global chats in CB, not for you, not for me. You can either use /group, /guild or /tell, and that\'s it. Those 3 have pre-requisites. You must be in a group / guild or you must have friends. /Shout has a reduced area of effect in CB (100m), and that area is still pending. It can be changed at any time, should this be necessary. A normal say works as it always did.

Now, some of you may start crying, but for gods sake, if you wish to talk about a football game that was on last night, or your current favorite movies, you have so many other ways to do it than ingame. Please use those, and don\'t request more OOC chat possibilities.

lol gronomist, when they say OOC, I mean they mean talking about the game itself, but without roleplaying, something like \"omfg we\'re gonna kill that dragon and get lots of XP wanna hep us ? I\'ll give you my 2d6+3 sword\", not totally off topic discussion ^^

Anyway, I\'ll try to roleplay, but I\'ve never been really good at it, and since I can\'t speak english that well it will be even harder for me :-/

I doubt you\'d be shouting that for everyone to hear.

BlueScreenJunky, it\'s a great advantage not to speak english well (like me :) indeed you can pretend to be a stranger and you can make yourself a background that doesn\'t need to stick to hydlaa\'s history.
it\'s the advantage with rp, whenever something bother you in real life, you just find a way to make it interesting online :)

RP power !!!!!! :)
