The Roleplaying in PlaneShift

[rallak]

Yes, the roleplaying. I like the fact that everybody roleplays. Everybody is nice, and willing to help. I got stuck in the Death Realm, and I couldn't find the way out, and the first person I asked for help helped me. In PlaneShift, I am a complete, utter, hopeless n00b. But everyone makes me feel like I am cool in the game. If this was WoW or Runescape, they'd be like "wtf u n00bzorz, u dont buff me i kik ur ace in pvp in a sec n00b" lol
I found some players partying, and I stepped in and I took all the pies that were on the ground, and all the food and stuff, and they told me to give it back, and they asked politely too. In Runescape they'd be like "giv it bak u fuxin n00bzorz or i kik ur ace and report u n00b." lol I gave it back.

I LIKE THIS COMMUNITY. Roleplaying even makes the game funner because you can make friends better and stuff. Its funner and you kind of make your character's personality and stuff I like it.

what do you n00bzorz... errr I mean guys think about Roleplaying and Community here at PlaneShift.

(offtopic: I also like the fact that you can jump onto stuff so it has endless vertical limitations  lol)

    In a few months you'll rarely use leetspeak at all, even on forums, if you start getting used to the way of properly typing things for roleplay. Now if you're looking for some ideas, this thread below might help:

    There is an anti-l33t feel in PlaneShift(And it's lack of combat variety helps on that), though it is bypassed sometimes by a bunch of PKers that for some weird reason decide to stay even knowing this type of PvP won't be the meat of PS. Yet, without open pvp, there is not much to worry about, specially if you set duels on "auto decline".

P.S.: Isn't Run and Escape a censored word? 

P.S 2.: Even this unfinished version of PlaneShift beats that mentioned "thing" on graphics(In fact even the PS female dwarf model looks better than any of its models).

Not saying Runescape is a stupid joke, not funny. The community here is great. Makes it have an actual multiplayer feel instead of just playing a game alone where a bunch of people happen to be playing it in the same place.

rallak ... watch out! Not everyone is nice! Before you know, you may find your Arch Enemy here!

But hey, that's the spice in the soup called "roleplaying".

[rallak]

yeah lol... errr I mean haha

but yeah I love this game too. I play WoW on a private server, and eh PlaneShift is funner in some ways if not many ways compared to WoW.
I still like the fact this is multileveled, making it fun to jump around and hop fences and stuff.

[Mrriyah]

There are a lot of neat places one can explore, I really appreciate that myself.

[rallak]

yeah, and even PlaneShift's SEWERS are vast! I got lost in there 

[Aerianna Kzin]

I hope you took a shower when you finally got out!? Acutally I hate to admit it but I still get lost in the sewers...

[Rayken]

I still get lost in the sewers...

[Unnamed_Source]

Now I know to run to the sewers when I get a tap on the shoulder from some GM.

[LigH]

If you need help out of the sewers, send me a Private Message - I am not allowed to help you in public...

[Heyok]

sewers easy to get out, of jsut head up, up up, never go down if you can help it

Having played several RP style games, I like the fact that the RP here is friendly.  The last RP based server I played on the majority of RP'ers were pirate based and felt the urge to inflict their devious plans on all others,  While yes this is completely fair in an RP'ing sense when a new player or clan came into existence they used there extensive characters to bully you down and just made the game experience crap. Yes you can hire mercs and all that but a new player/character does not always have the funds or the friends to do so.

PS is in development.  It is free.  It has its glitches. It has its bonuses. But most of all it has its community and that is what makes this a great place, Not the game but the people I have met.

    Having played for enough time, I see the excess of IC goodness(though you can be OOCly friendly even RPing an "evil" character with /tells for example) as boring, and not as a good thing, though there is little support for scoundrels yet. Roleplaying highwaymen in the remote areas of the roads to Ojaveda or Bronze Doors would be quite a challenge, for example. Of course unlike your example, here there isn't a land without government filled with criminal groups. There should be a balance between friendly(but quickly becoming boring) characters RP and "evil" people RP, I have yet to see somewhere with this balance as neither of the two extremes are good.
