Hack and slash or Living

[Waylander]

Bleh I wouldn\'t call myself a warrior, just somewhat handy with a sword.  As for weaponsmith, I am also thinking of jewler...but prob weaponsmith in the end

[druke]

that just mean a larger monopoly for us in magic stuffs kara

[Waylander]

Bah I strive for competition...but when one is as amazing as me it is hard to find any worthy (competition)

I think we\'ll see more people gravitate towards \"living\" if it can be made challenging and fun.  A few of the reasons that combat is \"fun\" is because
  a) You\'re not allowed to do it in real life.
  b) There is a certain element of risk involved - Killing fluffy bunnies gets boring if your character can do it without having to worry about any consequence
  c) In most \"RPGs\", combat gets you experience, which mysteriously makes you better at everything.  Thankfully this misfeature won\'t be dominant in PS.
  d) Fun combat usually involves active evaluation of the situation and decision making.  

If brewing beer involves standing around waiting to see if you \"succeed\" or not, you won\'t have many people interested.  However, if brewing beer involves finding suppliers of quality ingredients, finding good brewing conditions, and choosing the characteristics of the beer you want to make and then letting you do something else (like run your tavern, talk to people) while it brews over some time period, that\'s much more appealing, especially to \"strategic\" thinkers.

Now, all this can be roleplayed (i.e. /me brews a beer, /me serves a beer) but having in-game constructs to support and encourage this for people who like to have \"real\" in-game results would be a big bonus.

And a lot of work

i think it would be cool to live a \"real fantasy life\"

My guild is going to be an enforcement sort of guild, but when we\'re not wiping the floor with the Metal Militia the members will be encouraged to work to their jobs. Fighters will be funded to go to the arena or another place to fight, miners go digging, stuff like that, then we stock up and run trades with other guilds.

Living, most defenitely!

Exploring, meeting others and more!

hey remember that guy....Cthulu....yea is he still here or did all of your flaming chase him off?

[Cirque]

I sort of agree with Cthulu. I play RPG\'s and MMORPG\'s so I can do things I cant do in real life. I find this cyber RPG love a bit bizare. But each to his own I guess.

Sometimes I get the impression that some people are just after the SIMS in a roleplaying environment.

[Junibeater]

Hey Cthulu, I like the way you think.  Good points.

[Typhorean]

I\'m thinking...Healer/Alchemist/Leatherworker/axeman.  

Or better yet...I\'ll just call myself a jack of all trades (and master of...some!  Bwahahaha.)

[thezambOWNie]

i\'m for sure and econ guy...fighting is fun but hack and slash? definantly not my style and honestly i think that cthlulu is gone.

[Example]

i agree 100% i think i seen you on eqoa? maybe not
i couldnt have said it better myself you took the words right out of my mouth. i think someone would have to be very depressed to fall in love with a character on a game? its absurd to me. as far as trying to be a successful politician or rich merchant, you can be an uber ass warrior and be a rich merchant at the same time. tailoring? the only reason i would pick up tailoring or armorsmithing is to create my uber ass warrior some good armor or my bad to the bone wizard some nice robes or something . To stand in the middle of a city (a fake city *remember*) and sell some tailoring all day is kinda weak. snap out of it people.  its kinda pathetic. but most have the right thoughts on track.  

falling in love on the internet.  lol so ridiculous

[leji]

I guess you havent met my dearest Anadromos yet Example (yes I got married in Hydlaa)...
What\'s wrong with roleplaying in a roleplaying game ?
Falling in love is part of the culture in our society, in my opinion, this game isnt about killing every moving thing that comes in sight, but creating a society. A society where we can be the bad guys or the good guys, where you can become famous because you invented a bread made with Kran\'s blood that will reinforce your teeth, where you can help a merchant crossing a dangerous forest etc...

Some of us might become Vigesimis, rule the cities as they are asked by the people, some other might want to explore and try to reach the big lake, and then, the people who sewed their pants, baked their bread, loved them, will be proud to have supported those great persons.

Hack and slash if you wish too, there are quite a few hunters in the real world too... but I suggest you try a Diablo-like game if you cant see how roleplay can be fun !

Example: I advise you leave. You\'re making no friends here... from what I\'ve seen of your posts, I wouldn\'t even want to.

PS is a roleplaying game. Guess what- you roleplay in it. We have no room for ignorant people who think their opinion is what the whole world agrees with. Wake up buddy... a whole lot of us are not as narrow-minded as you.

What you call \"ridiculous\" is what has brought alot of couples together in this community. Some RL married couples play the game together and roleplay their marriage in the PS world. Some, like myself and Seperot, met here and are now a couple very much in love who are planning to move in together early next year.

Infact it\'s us who feel sorry for you. You have plenty more reason to feel stupid here than any of the happy couples you degrade with your over-opinionated drivel.

Your views are small, ignorant, and unappreciated. Either start being a little more social here or leave. This attitude of yours won\'t be missed either way.
