Because you\'ll be starting all over with a new character who supposedly isn\'t supposed to remember that their last incarnation in the world belonged to Guild X. You preach about RP like you invented it, yet you can\'t even grasp the concept of it and how it applies to the character wipe!?
Hehe, this is the most stupid thing I\'ve ever heard about the wipe. I\'m impressed. :tup:
I might not have invented RP, but I seem I have much more of a grasp on it than you.
The simple and yet obviously hard to comprehend fact is that the wipe does not have anything to do with RP. It is totally OOC.
The actual impact of the wipe on the chars is marginal. So you need to re-create your char, but in no way is it required to create a different char. The fun part is that many people carried over their chars from MB to CB. This was a wipe as well, but it disn\'t impact RP at all.
Obviously you base your \"understanding\" of RP on stats and stuff like that, so obviously you don\'t know that RP doesn\'t need them if done correctly. They\'re there to keep players in check who don\'t have the strength to limit themselves voluntarily, and to have a means to get the world to interact with the players.
When was the last time you said IRL that you\'re a level 19 forum troll? Would you please tell me your level in english and your attributes?
See, if you \"RP\"\'d a bunch of numbers, then the wipe destroys your char, which isn\'t one in the first place. If you, however, RP a person in a world, then the wipe won\'t affect your RP at all.
The wipe\'s effects will be gone about three weeks after the wipe happened, the powerlevellers will have their stats back in no time.

Apart from the fact that the plaza is one of the places with almost zero RP, these both are OOC. Killstealing even is cheating / exploiting.
God, do you ever take your finger out of your :cough: ear? It\'s not OOC unless the person doing it intends it to be.
Hehe, you\'re really hilarious! So you honestly think that it somehow is RP to talk about a client crash or last weeks soccer match? Intend it to be RP as much as you want: it never will be.

Hmm kill stealing is exploiting? I thought exploiting was taking advantage of a bug that works in your favor (i.e a rat that spawns over and over and gives 100% experience each time. Or going through a certain door that for whatever reason doubles the number of trias in your inventory). Kill stealing is certainly not an honest practice, but hey, if you\'re RPing an Evil character then nobody is expecting you to be honest now are they?
Well, the fact that you can steal kills
is a bug. You can\'t honestly have thought that it was somehow intended to enable that? So it is exactly what you described: using a bug (that killstealing is possible) to gain advantage (stealing the kill). Not hard to comprehend, is it?

Yeah, I should have known that one would go right over your head.
Try coming down off your high horse once in a while.
The air must be pretty thin way up there, eh?
Hmm, you must have aimed incredibly high, then. However, it would be nice if you actually wouldn\'t start insulting people when they keep tearing apart your flawed arguments. Instead, it would be advisable to try to find better arguments.
Insulting people only serves to deter from your points, so even should you make a valid one, it is more likely to be ignored if you don\'t maintain a mature style of discussion. It\'s easy to come over as a troll if you aren\'t careful.
