Roleplaying Focus

[Waoknie]

I really can't tell you how little I care about the language references.
But I can tell you I'm fed up with that stuff!
I suggest that some moderator should delete all posts or partial posts or whatever with undesired content (including this one if necesary).
I find hard to believe that someone who has the knowledge to derivate such language references is unable to find another word to express such simpleness.
English is not my first language. I try really hard for being understood by you all. At least show some respect for me and please focus on the thread.

This is an RP-based game, is it not? Follow the rules of the game! You wouldn't go into a football match and use your hands....(don't say anything about a keeper ) So, don't play PS if you have no intention to RP...

There is a difference between asking players to correct their errors, or to send them to hell. Are you sure you think the latter will get a better increase in player numbers?

Hm, can I change my vote from No to To hell with anyone who doesn't RP? I really don't see the point in playing a game meant for RP when you're looking for hack 'n slash. Just doesn't make a damn bit of sense. When I looked for this game, I read that it was meant solely for roleplay, and that's why I joined it. Its purpose would be destroyed if PVPers were allowed to do as they please, and it would only become some crappy free-to-play RuneScape-ish game.

If you choose "to hell with..." ... Does that mean PS is losing players cux of RP focus or not?

[SerqFeht]

If one is looking to hack and slash so bad, then they should play WoW. If it is the free game they are after, they should go to RuneScape.

Coming to a game designed for roleplaying and insisting that it conforms to their standards of hack and slash is just foolishness. To hell with them! Planeshift shouldn't change to match RuneScape because some want it to be another RuneScape.

So I repeat:

There is a difference between asking players to correct their errors, or to send them to hell. Are you sure you think the latter will get a better increase in player numbers?

With the addition that I did not mean this as 'increase numbers by allowing non-rp', but as in that it is better to correct their ways (and make them become non-hack&slash players that stay enough in character for you to not be annoyed) instead of sending potentially good rp-ers to hell

I find it rather interesting the number of Roplards posting. I wonder how many of you actively report bugs in the game mechanics. I suspect there are whole swaths of the game some of you ignore because all you need to do is walk around, chat and roll dice. If all you do is role play and do not test then a case could be made for "who needs you!" After all "testers first, players second," right? I am not saying this should be the prevailing sentiment just that it could be. It is no less offensive than "to hell with people who don't role play."

Well, potentially good RPers doesn't count... Only people who won't even try to roleplay should go to hell.

Well, i saw that answer as anyone who doesn't RP (but is able to and should know how), to hell wit' em...

You make a good point, but i keep my answer. And yes, perhaps the latter will keep PS a great Rping community, which is a huge plus, for me at least.

"To hell with anyone who doesn't roleplay."

This, to me, simply means: It might or might not cost the game players (I know it will cost players) but in my opinion the Devs shouldn't really care about that. They either make a roleplaying game or they make just another game.

This is taking forever to get to 100, guess I'll login my two alternate characters and vote "snorks."

By the way,  , the RFC in my guild forum post means request for comments. Have at it. It sort of seems a bit on topic here of course as it is an attempt at a logical role play being totally ignored by all the Roplards! What's with that?

[bilbous]

I voted snorks cuz I already voted seriously with another account.
